the dawning of a new era [orig. posted 2005.09.29 at 08:17 PM]
alright... i've started encouraging others in the studio to start posting to the blogs again so i guess i should take my own advise.
since my studio work has been overshadowed a bit by some summer work lingering a little bit longer that perhaps it should, i'll just make a note here that this year marks the beginning of a new era for Cranbrook. Bill Massie is now the architect-in-residence and with that comes some, hopefully, welcome shifts in the way the department will operate and direct it's attention. along with the oft mentioned new equipment that has come to our department [ laser cutter(s), cnc router, plasma cutter... ] there is a new energy and a focus on ways of making that speak more directly to the technologies of design.
i am excited to get working on our group project [ which i will post more about later ] and also excited to dive into the seminar for which we just received our readings [ the journal Log vol.5 spr/sum 2005 ]
