SHADOWS
first year foundations studio
At Virginia Tech, the 1st year studio is a foundations studio where the 4 disciplines in the School of architecture + design (architecture, landscape architecture, industrial design, and interior design) are in the same classes learning the basics of design.
The final project of our first semester involved building a structure that was dynamic. I created a spiral out of bass wood, and although the structure itself wasn't particularly dynamic, the shadows it created throughout the day were able to reveal its dynamic character.
