Project 2 review day -- NEXUS

Just some pictures from our review -- apologies for the darkness, we were all presenting power point presentations...

Everyone was assigned to also make a board to summarize our project, to later be brought back to ISU and posted in our exhibition in the fall -- ours is the top, followed by a few other groups' boards below

more project sketches

Movie Day

So me and my group for our film/walking course went back to Corviale yesterday, to start working on our movie that we have to present on Tuesday, just like us to procrastinate on this ---

Our movie that were making deals with the 'silence' of this area -- 6500 people live in this complex, but you'd never know it, its ridiculously quiet. so many of our shots try and exploit this. Here are just some images from the day -- hopefully I'll be able to post the movie on here when it's finished.

Studio work

Just making some overlay sketches in studio today -- trying to showcase the 'music barge' part of our building program -- showing how we could take our barge up the Tiber River and through the city of Rome, re-engaging the city to this waterway, as well as the music program of our building, check it


just a couple here -- more to come

Drawings

Class Tour

Took a class tour of the neighborhood EUR a couple days ago -- some photos of it -- check it

Quiz time in a neighborhood cafe --- totally dominated it

Kwon quizzin up -- check out my empty cup of amazing cappucino

Wall sculpture -- tells the story of Rome

New conference center building to be built in the neighborhood -- notice the 'cloud' concept?

Construction photos

thick glass railing was interesting, but I thought it was kinda ugly...

Repetition is apparently the key to success?

Cool bench

More repetition...

The new sweet conference center being built -- I still don't understand the 'cloud' concept for the auditoriums on the interior...

Lunch at a McDonalds connected to a gas station -- possibly the most American thing I've seen so far...

Group meal was fantastic

On my plate: 3 cheeseburgers, 1 small fry, 1 chocolate shake -- Yum!! and only 5 euros!

We're in America?

Happy Birthday Pops!

Happy Birthday to my dear, dear father -- once again, I thank you for letting me live through my childhood. To an amazing parent, husband, and role model, I love you pops!






Instead of making the same old birthday card for him, I made him something he might hang on to a little bit longer -- my first (and so far only) sketch of the Colosseum, check it.
