The Norwegian (and global) architecture firm Snohetta uses this image of the “Communal Kitchen Table” as a way to illustrate the creative and collaborative nature of their firm’s culture. I see this image as a metaphor of a design studio as well. A studio as a “Communal Kitchen”.
As we begin the Fall 2022 semester, I am reenergized by the thought of the design studio as a creative, collaborative community of designers.
While the second year studio may challenge you at times, it is first and foremost an opportunity for you to develop a strong design process and flex your creativity. You belong here and are well equipped to succeed.
We create, design, draw, make, think, conceptualize, refine, develop and present creative work in the second year studio class, and I hope that you are as energized by that possibility as I am.
Second year is the transfer prep year. By the end of this year my job is to have you prepared for Junior studio at the university level.
I will do my best to support YOU in this pursuit. And I will try to create a studio culture that becomes a ‘communal kitchen’ of ideas, creative work, and shared successes.
Welcome to Arch 2201 and 2250.
