The studies in this exhibition were taken from two exercises in which students were asked to explore physical representations of surface, to test model-making techniques, systematic sectioning and manipulation of landform as the starting point of design.

The cameras and photographs on display represent work produced in the fall of 2010 by fifth semester architecture students in Judy Birdsong's topic-based design studio organized around the theme oflight and time in architecture. As a means of introducing students to fundamental principles of light, students constructed a pinhole camera, essentially a simple box with a single small aperture that employs the same optical principles as the camera obscura.
This exhibit shows the thesis project of Becca Miller, a Costume Technology Masters of Fine Arts student in the School of Theater and Dance.

Using a variety of performance considerations, material efficiency, and production benefits, Briscoe fabricated limestone panels. The design of the apertures' transitions from closed to open are based on the following thermal and physical parameters: drainage for condensation, solar optimization, and a maximum 45-degree angle-axis of the water technology. Parameters within the information model database facilitate a dimensionally-controlled iterative process.
