"The medium of watercolor simulates the life of what is built amid the distress by its environment. Watercolor is a richly animating method of honing what is sublime."
The Visual Resources Collection is excited to announce black-and-white darkroom photography workshops for the Fall 2014 semester. The two-part tutorial will be offered on Black & White Film Developing (first session) and Printing Processes (second session). Either black-and-white photography workshop will satisfy the orientation requirements needed for future darkroom use.
Lisa Heschong will review how the growing demand for more daylight in our workplaces intersects with building design: from architecture, to interior design, energy system engineering, landscape design and urban planning.
This workshop will be a one-hour tutorial for students who are interested in learning to photograph their own models using a digital SLR camera and utilizing studio lighting. An overview of shooting modes, lens selection, aperture, shutter speed and exposure will be given, along with instruction on how to best utilize these camera settings in situations particularly relevant to students, including studio project and site condition documentation. Students will learn techniques to light their models, rules of composition, and troubleshooting.
On Friday, October 10, the Center for American Architecture and Design hosted Benjamin Ibarra Sevilla as part of the Friday Lunch Forum series. He presented "Fabrorum Geometry and Stonecutting Operations: Construction Intricacies of 16th-Century Ribbed Vaults in Mexico."
FRIDAY LUNCH FORUM
Latitudes proposes that the careful examination of key examples of architecture from across the Americas will reveal those aspects of the field that are most compelling. Looking deeply into the architecture of the Americas enables us to see our peculiar relationships with the enormous multiplicity of landscapes that are the result of different latitudes and attitudes; we see our differences as well as that which we share. Each building presented here abides in an authentic relationship with its place, and it is through this authenticity that each work is so compelling.
