I realised I haven’t shared my own sketchbook yet, so here’s a page from today’s interim critique session. My favourite part was: ‘How many architects does it take to build a site model?!’

(Disclaimer: These are very bad drawings of my tutors. I’m sorry!)

So what kind of things do Architecture Students do?

One of them is what seems to be a life of Design Studio work, so throughout the day/week, I’ll churn out development sheets like these.

My classmate’s sketchbook page: A study on voronoids. 

Submission from blayk: Chair design for design competition. The final product must be made by a 4x8 sheet of plywood. This design is using only 45, 30, 60 degree angles.

…from a failed attempt at traveling to Shanghai.

This sketchbook belongs to my friend Mars, who very kindly agreed to me photographing a page of her sketchbook. Hurrah! 

Submit yours or your friend’s sketchbook now! :)

I’m a first year arch student at Cal Poly SLO, here’s a good picture of the room I share with my roommates… I’m just getting started with a draft while she is making a Hockney-style collage on the floor, with my preliminary model next to her. Our studio is a bit of a walk and not a very comfortable place, so this is where most of our work goes on.

I don’t want a specific major to define who I am for the rest of my life…I want to be able to experience everything, and slowly find myself on my own terms.

I want to live my life to its fullest.
