UVA Fall 2010: 3d and 2d
During our first semester at UVA, we embarked on a series of quick studies all centering on Observatory Hill, a wooded group of hills on the west edge of campus. This particular project, during a week in October, asked us to zoom out and look at a larger area and a large set of GIS data to generate new understanding of how different layers might interact. I had done such analysis before at Harvard planning but the next step, making a conceptual model out of the 2 dimensional information, was a new idea to me.
UVA Fall 2010: Final Studio Project
It has been a good while since I last updated this blog. What once was a mandatory class blog for Anne Spirn’s “Sensing Place” (all those posts remain under the category with the same name) is now a place for me to display my work generated in current and past studios.
What better project to start with than the most recent? In the MLA first semester studio with instructor Nancy Takahashi, we explored several themes. First, was the art of making. We learned how to spend time with materials while modeling, learning that the process can be generative of new ideas instead of just final representation. We also explored the human scale of experience through collage, video, and installation (more on that in subsequent posts) as well as in our 2d and 3d representation.
