coordinating fashion + design

blakeni, one of the terrific students in my second year studio this semester, sports fashion that echoes color selection in her JEGNA 2.0 unit. who says coral can't be both the color of clothing and of a kit of parts within?

teamwork : anna will climb anywhere

anna (in blue, right), justin + faith gathered as a group in studio this week to marry their JENGA 2.0 schemes into a two story building...the fun continues as students start stacking their work.

cheese update

one week later, and one slice of processed cheese still is with us on the mendenhall sidewalk. no signs of deterioration, other than a slight gray overtone...

means of egress

what i learned in studio today : a swimming pool is NOT a means of egress...even when your concept is leap.

members of the proud "german" team line up behind their COKE CAN CATHEDRAL, a yearly exercise in my history + theory class. the goal is to build as high a cathedral as possible, accepting the limitations of the cans as the team stacks. this brings home the lessons of all the near failures and failures of gothic construction techniques....and you can "drink" the cathedral after. don't forget to recycle!!

who says teamwork can't be fun? cassandra brunson, left, phillip snider, middle, and nikki ware demonstrate the importance of "setting your goals" (the message on phillips' shirt).

who dropped the cheese?

on valentine's day, no less, i was strolling on mendenhall headed to school and i looked down to catch the sight of this...


who dropped the cheese? there has to be a story here...
