studio culture:
Probably the most vivid memories that i have about studio deal with the interaction that often occurs between students of different levels. As a sophmore i remember the graduate students and the senior students giving advice about the project that we were working on at the time. When upper classmen take the time to talk with you about your project, give you advice and encourage you to spend time on your projects, theres a sense of motivation that you recieve. As a senior, in the fall studio, we had a project located in new york city and for our site model we decided to 3d print a large portion of lower manhattan and the design of our building. In the process of us doing this second year students took such an interest in the model that we would have them stop by just to see what else we had been working on. At the moment it made me consider how i felt as a sophmore talking to the senior and graduate students and in a way motivated me to show more interest in their work and encourage them to do the best they can.

one: object of sentimental value
When thinking of an object that holds sentimental value to our family i would have to use the phrase: object as house. When an artist creates a piece of artwork, it has sentimental value to his or her self because it was created by him or her. Our house, in the same way, holds sentimental value to our family because it was built almost entirely by my father. With previous experience in construction, the help of friends in their spare time, and only a mason to do brick work, my dad built our house. This not only made our home sentimental but also very inexpensive. He designed and fabricated every thing from the house to its interior furnishing.

two: useful piece
three: aspects of a room
When one thinks about the hallway, they automatically would think of a space that serves as the circulation between individual rooms and not giving in much more thought than that. The hallway though, can often be a space where memories are created, as it was for myself. The hallway was a place where i could play catch with my dad indoors, it was a place were i could span hot wheel car tracks from one end to the other and race cars up and down, etc.
four: memorable event
While constructing our house my father was given a great deal of input by his father. That same knowledge was passed down to myself when my father decided to add an addition to our house.
