Searching for Knowledge and Inspiration at the Moma Again

Did I find it?  I'm not sure. 

I've been working on a furniture design project, that's weighed heavily on my mind, mostly because I've never designed furniture before, so I am constantly looking at furniture everywhere I go.  I think its hard to see right now what I'm learning, but in a while from now, I'll understand. 

Edouard Vuillard At The Jewish Museum

I really enjoyed the Edouard Vuillard exhibit at the Jewish Museum in New York City this summer.  His paintings, to me, are a quiet window into a busy world.  

A Day at the Moma

The Moma can always be counted on as a source of knowledge and inspiration for me and all of the struggling designers trying to make it in the big city.

Soundview Site; Completed

I have officially finished the first two years of my master of architecture at the City College of New York.  Here are the final images of the latest completed project from the spring semester.  

As you may recall from the previous posts about this project, it was a collaborative studio between the architecture students and the landscape architecture students.  

The site is in Soundview in the Bronx, and includes the New York Housing Authority Soundview Houses and Soundview Park.  Together my group looked at the housing, the park, and their connection to the rest of the neighborhood.  Ultimately, my own personal focus within the group was to fully design and detail one of the proposed buidlings on the site which is documented here.  Click on the photos to enlarge them.
