Hello!
This time of year will always be a special time for me, four years ago I had the opportunity to experience studying abroad with Clemson University's Barcelona, Spain program. I kept a blog during my time abroad and I enjoy vicariously reliving those days by re-reading my blog posts. Doing this allows me to see how much (or little) I have changed since that time, and it is an eerily effective way of self evaluation. Perhaps I am being dramatic, whimsical, or just plain weird but it gave me an idea...what if I kept a blog about my experience this semester???
What is so special about this semester you ask? Well, this semester, my FINAL semester of higher education; I will be completing an independent studio project as a part of my Masters Program requirements for Georgia Tech. Just in case there is anyone reading this post who is not familiar with how architecture education works, I will very briefly explain:
Studio = the most fun, stressful, exciting, angering, inspiring, depressing, wild, overwhelming, and creative 6 credit course I have and will ever take!
What is my independent studio on? Simple, how can the courtroom be re-thought to work architecturally and acoustically to fit within a circular layout? What social ramifications could this have on the current decorum of the U.S judicial system and its associated processes? While I have an idea, this will be among the things I intend to discover.
So while there won't be any "magical" posts about Breakfast in Barcelona, Ventures in Valencia, Romping in Rome, or Grandeur in Germany, there will be careful accounts of my findings, successes, and setbacks over the coming four months. Hopefully the blog will become more colorful, interactive, and informative as we progress. Should I find a viable solution it might turn out to be a big deal or it could be humorously insignificant! Who knows? Regardless, I am glad to be blogging again, and glad to have an audience, however big or small it may be.
Enjoy this journey with me...
