Artifact

This is my site plan featuring my pencil for an architecture 2310 studio course. I am currently on record still an architecture major, but I am considering a non-architecture undergraduate degree and pursuing architecture in graduate school. Being in studio has taught me many modeling and drawing fundamentals that architects use in the daily life of their career. The project we were working on in this studio is called the labyrinth. It is called the labyrinth because of its winding circulation spaces and the absence of explicit doors and windows reinforces the relationship between figural voided spaces and figural objects or structures. This was created in the freshman studio of the Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture on campus. I absolutely loved drawing my plans and learning architectural terminology and analysis, but I struggled with hand modeling quite a bit to the point where I fell behind in my class because of how rigorous and fast-paced this project became. The struggle was how I recently came to the conclusion that I should pursue another thing that I enjoy and consider classes in Knowlton instead of a whole Architecture degree. I am now looking at City Regional Planning (CRP) and Art History. I realize I can obtian my B.A in History of Art here in 1-2 years so that will be in addition to my CRP degree, and I would still be a Knowlton student which is important to me. Without this struggle I would not have come to ths conclusion, and in a way, I am grateful to have had hardship to teach me how to do better.
