Finals Week…

The pressure is on and even the glass is cracking under it. With the serious focus on drawings and models as the clock ticks closer to printer lock down many everyday actions are temporarily suspended. The usual good nights rest of 6-8 hours turns to power naps gone too long, lunch and dinner become hurried and timed events, and the gym won’t be going…

VR Showcase

This Friday’s Happy Hour at PennDesign was held in the lower gallery despite the nice weather. The reason being a Virtual Reality showcase! The showcase consisted of student work from one of the graduate level courses Semi-Ficticious Relams taught by Christopher McAdams. More on the course can be found at the following link: https://www.design.upenn.edu/architecture/graduate/courses. It was a really neat showcase to experience.

Spring is in the Air?

The weather during the months of March, April, and May were said to be unpredictable. I feel that is a statement one should take literally. Two beautiful days of blue skies, flowers abound, and long missed 80 degree weather! In contrast the week before the studio final is starting out with the right weather for work: cloudy, cold, and possibly rainy. Time to pour…

The Designer’s Library

In school there is plenty to read, not always what you would prefer to read. Over the years I have acquired a number of books, some gifts, some recommended or required texts for class, and so me which I selected on my own. Either way a designer’s library can be a great place to learn more about a designer’s style, interests, and hopes. I…

Group Exercise Recommendations

These are the classes I have tried so far. The ones with circles around them are my prefered classes. These are really challenging and a great workout! Those with x’s on them I did not enjoy either becuase I was too out of shape to keep up or it wasn’t a challenge at all. Those with a squiggly border are classes I would like…

That Workout Blush!

Most people don’t look their best right after a workout, and I am no exception. However sometimes the look is so absurd it is fun to get a quick pic. Here are a few of my unique looks after working out. Belive it or not these are two different days, but both cardio days! No matter what you look like while at the gym…

Construction All Around

One of the great things about living in the city is that any construction going on becomes a living example from which a student can learn. Overtime the various stages and progression of projects become clear. It is very satisfying to see projects that have been in progress for a full semester and a half completed. It is even more satisfying to then be…

Weather Emergencies

The season for weather emergencies in Philadelphia is the opposite of what I am used to. In Florida summer is the typical time for weather emergencies, ie hurricanes. Naturally as it is winter here the emergency at hand is that of snow. Now I have no clue how to prepare for these kinds of events. The snow storm before spring break was a complete…

SPRING BREAK!

From barely escaping a snowstorm to sleeping peacefully in a warm Florida home. My camera took a short break this past week as I caught up with family and tied up the loose ends on non school work. I hope those of you reading had or have a wonderful break! If you want to keep those relaxed spring break vibes going check out my…
