As an educator, I strive to create flexible, dynamic studio environments that develop concrete, value-added skills, while holding space for each student to participate, listen, reflect, understand, and explore their own unique point of view.
Below is a collection of images that represent a wide range of student work completed in the undergraduate foundational design and architecture studios that I have taught at Mount Holyoke College, the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and Hampshire College.
The first four images are examples of typical in-studio demonstrations that I provide during studio hours— an essential component to a vibrant design studio experience— often impromptu and projected onto a screen or the wall using video camera and recorded for use outside of class. In the examples below I am drawing through, annotating, and illustrating principles of rendering light on form. At the end of each day, I document these demonstrations and make them available on our LMS.
I am grateful to all of the many hundreds of inspiring students I have had the privilege of getting to know whose work is represented below and who have given so enthusiastically of their dedication, hard work, and camaraderie.
