Midterm 2 Reflection

For Friday, Nov 11 at 1pm, write a ~500 word blog post.

Look backwards:  Think about your progress over the term and what you have learned.  Discusses the strengths of your project and how you addressed Assignment 6‘s intentions. Include your ideas about the following:

  • Vision of a responsive structure
  • Experience of community space
  • Urban connections
  • Response to sun and wind

Embed at least one image from your presentation and link it to a compressed PDF of your presentation.

Look forward:  At this point, you may choose to combine forces with other students to create a joint project.  Discuss how you will move forward either independently or in a group.

Embed an image of a sketch that shows how you plan to move forward.

Students may consider entering other competitions such as the Arch20 student competition.

Univ. of Oregon Architecture Department head Nancy Yen-wen Cheng, RA, LEED AP researches how design tools and approaches shape outcomes, with a specialization in how craft and computation can stimulate the creative process. She has developed expertise in manipulating sheet materials to create light-modulating structures and has researched how surface relief patterns can increase convective cooling. She has developed fold and slot joints that give structural rigidity to foldable sheet structures and is eager to apply them to rapidly deployable refugee shelters.
