On Friday, September 25, the Center for American Architecture and Design hosted Benjamin Rice, UTSOA's new Research Scientist Associate focused on digital fabrication, as part of the Friday Lunch Forum series.
FRIDAY LUNCH FORUM
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.
The Visual Resources Collection will be offering an introductory workshop—The Basics of Photographic Composition—on Friday, September 25, 2015 from 10am–12pm.
This single, two-hour session will focus on familiarizing participants with image composition best practices. The first part of the session will cover the basics of selective focus and depth of field and how they relate to aperture with a concentration on architecture, urban landscape, and model photography. The remaining time will be spent on a walking tour of campus to practice the techniques in the field.

GSARC (Graduate School of Architecture Representative Council) is hosting an opportunity for interested students to make a short informal story (~ 5 mins) of how they spent their summer.

The Materials Lab hosted a second hands-on stone carving workshop at Kincannon studios, led by Joseph and Holly Young-Kincannon and their associate Aaron Payne. Joseph and Holly met onsite at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, in New York City, a project on which Joseph worked as a stone carver and Holly a project manager. The two moved to Austin in 1992 and opened an interdisciplinary studio that provides design, planning, preservation, and stone sculpting services.
