RE-THINKING THE FINAL REVIEW
School of Architecture 2013 Thesis
|
|
|
"It is the end of the academic year at The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture, when the fifth-year students present their final, year-long thesis projects. This year, the students and faculty decided to do things a little differently. Unlike years past, where each student's "proposal" has been presented and formally critiqued in the third floor lobby of the Foundation Building, that space, which students had spontaneously painted black some days before, was left empty as a poetic statement on the challenges faced by the institution. Instead students have constructed a wooden table inside the colonnade that runs at ground level along the west side of the building. Pedestrians looking in through the row of windows will see a single piece from each proposal laid out like a banquet. On Wednesday, in place of critiques, students, faculty and guests were invited to engage in a group dialogue about the works, the approach to their presentation and their engagement with the world outside. ..." read more ...
