I commented on someone's blog!

from the Archinect: School Blog project...A Magazine!

Samuel, a University of Tennessee architecture student, posted the second issue of "Current" .
Quite nice to see the entire pdf file of the magazine edition..all 106 pages. I never knew UT had an architecture program. These are works from undergrad and graduate school... anyways, here was what I had to say.

"I really enjoyed the concept of "Studio Culture". The student's works definitely illustrate an intense level of energy and ambition. I wanted to comment on the single black and white images (I'm guessing of the school?) The immense focus on the material and lighting in the images reminded me of Peter Zumpthor's book, "Atmospheres". The layout of the work by school year was well-organized and climatic, shifting as the intensity of the projects grew. The addition of the interior design department (quite a rarity in an architecture school) was also a pleasant surprise.
As others have mentioned, the responses from the interviews were very long and somewhat tedious to read. But nonetheless, I loved the sketches and the hand drawings. Good mix, and keep up the great work!"
