On Friday, October 24, the Center for American Architecture and Design hosted John Szot as part of the Friday Lunch Forum series. He presented "Forcible Entry."
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. Recordings of each forum will be posted as they become available.
Wendell Burnette Architects is an internationally recognized architectural practice based in Phoenix, Arizona. Our portfolio of work includes a wide range of private and public projects. The specific focus of the practice is concerned with space and light, context and place, and with the environment and landscapes in which we live. The architecture of the firm responds to the specifics of site and client needs, is resourceful in regards to budget, takes a pro-active approach to the craft of building, and strives to create spaces that engage people.
Christopher St. Leger will be speaking about his work and process including a discussion of the water color medium and how he employs it in the pursuit of his subjects.
"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.
