On Friday, March 31, the Center for American Architecture and Design will host Jake Wegmann as part of the Friday Lunch Forum series.
Roughly every other Friday during the fall and spring semesters, the Center hosts the Friday Lunch Forum Series. The aim of the series is for faculty, staff, and students to meet in an informal atmosphere to debate topics and to share ideas about history, practice, theory, and new directions for architecture. Recordings of each forum will be posted as they become available.
This 45-minute workshop will introduce participants to camera optics. Focal length, aperture, lens distortions, and camera focusing systems will be discussed. In addition, information about lens choices for different sensor/film sizes and converting focal length from one format another will be covered. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to quickly ascertain proper lens and settings choices for desired photographs given the conditions. Basic DSLR knowledge is helpful but not mandatory.
This workshop will be conducted by VRC Teaching Assistant, Panchu Gudigar.
Originally, before the Thermostat Age, the places we built and buildings we built had no choice but to be green, otherwise people would freeze to death in the winter, die of heat strokes by summer, starve to death, or other really bad things would happen to them. Today, as we are working to re-learn how to live sustainably, much of the focus is on the gadgetry of green: Gizmo Green. This notion that we can simply invent more efficient mechanisms, and throw in some bamboo to boot, is only a small part of real sustainability.
