As promised, photos of my models! Quick recap - the project fits within a site and is a subtractive exercise where I "stabbed" the site with rectangular prisms in the direction of the 4 view rooms - no viewing, ground viewing, horizon viewing, and sky viewing.
For this week's Whim of the Week, I thought I could share a subtraction exercise that I've been working on in studio at MIT.
Architecture is pretty well known to be a universally time-consuming and difficult major - I remember when I was still looking at colleges, my friends and family and even college tour guides would ask me if I was sure I wanted to do Architecture because I would most definitely not have a life outside of it.
I think one of the most satisfying feelings I've ever had so far in my life is seeing something that I worked on come to life. And no, I don't mean come to life in a model - I mean legitimately, in real life, usable, workable structures.
I think some of the saddest emails I've ever received are the influx of messages from MIT President Rafael Reif, always titled: "Sad news about a member of our community".
