happy birthday to me...





my first 3-d print




I've started using a program called Rhino this semester - it's really popular for its ease with curves and organic modeling. After making the under-belly of my building for my studio project, I decided to 3-D print a model of it. The 3-D printer slices the model up, and builds it layer by layer using tiny drops of melted ABS plastic. Nine hours later, voila!

[re]act: chair installation





An organization called "[re]act" put together an installation of chairs in the atrium of the College of Architecture, changing the configuration daily or multiple times each day. This was my favorite setup... As the atrium has largely been empty lately, it's neat to see how the chairs affect the flow of traffic through the building, and if, when, and how people use the chairs.
