What was the most important thing/skill/concept you learned at the School of Architecture?
I didn't know it then, but those were the years where I started to see things differently. I looked at things a little bit more critically, observed my surroundings, and appreciate the little things that "worked."
Who made the most lasting impression (most influenced you) and why?
Charlie Lazor's summer furniture design studio. Summer studio was a different animal and to focus on an object of that scale and produce a final product was something I had never expected to do in undergrad. It was great to focus in on the smallest details of furniture and design. Katherine Solomonson and her suburbia course are lasting memories, and Leon Satkowski's course on Gothic cathedrals was incredibly interesting and his knowledge was incredibly impressive.
What is your favorite memory from your studio days?
Creating a bond with my studio mates and of course, "social gatherings."
Please identify one (or more) memorable design project that you worked on while a student at the School of Architecture.
We studied the Milwaukee Avenue Historic District in Rob Goods studio as an exercise that contributed to our design of a multi-generational housing concept. I still have the model. Again, summer furniture design studio with Charles Lazor.
What major forces (such as individual architects, design philosophies, rendering styles, research methods, etc.) do you remember influencing you significantly as a student?
Being there while the addition was getting constructed created a lot of discussions that were very valuable. Also, I didn't appreciate it then but Rapson Hall (the original building) is a great place to study architecture and far exceed facilities at other schools.
