What did I learn after one semester in Architecture School?

It’s official! I have completed a full semester of school! Now I don’t want to fool you, this semester has not been easy in any way. I have pulled 3 all-nighters, cried six times, and missed 2 football games. The blame can be put on my major. I am a 1st-year architecture student. The architecture program I am in is a five-year program so 1/10th of my time at Auburn University is complete! My major is hard. Really hard. And I have learned a lot from my time both in and out of my architecture studio.

For starters, I learned that in order to have a good project organization is key. Keeping track of your tools, organizing your rubrics, and staying on top of clutter are all crucial to the design process. There have been so many times where I have failed to keep my space clean and it has translated into projects that are not my best work. Organization is not the only factor that determines how well your projects turn out. Your physical health is a huge factor in your productivity. To ensure a productive life, sleep, exercise, and healthy living are essential. According to livescience.com, “sleep deprivation makes it difficult for brain cells to communicate effectively.” This “in turn, can lead to temporary mental lapses that affect memory and visual perception.” Many people refer to the symptoms of sleep deprivation as those similar to being drunk, even if the individual has had nothing to drink. Exercising on a regular basis does not only aid your physical well being but is also an amazing stress reliever! Endorphins are released during physical exertion, acting as natural painkillers. Thanks to these endorphins, sleep quality is improved which translated to less stress. While your physical health is very important, your mental health should also be at the forefront of your focus. Exercise will help deal, with stress, your body image, your confidence, and so forth. However important exercise is, don’t guilt yourself into being healthy all the time. If drinking a hot chocolate is the only thing keeping you from having a mental breakdown, drink the hot cocoa! Keeping a sane head on your shoulders is key to having the best work possible! One thing I found so helpful this semester was making sure I had time to do the things that fueled my soul. I like to call this time ‘me time.’ Make sure that you set time for ‘me time’ because it allows you to have a way to destress. For me, I like singing and running so I had to work those into my busy schedule. Even if it’s singing in the shower or a quick 10-minute run, these things really saved my skin and kept me sane throughout my first semester. As important as ‘me time’ is, you can’t always thrive without the help of others. Your peers will be your biggest support. Use your friends and peers for ideas, academic support, and advice. Many times I would use my friends to bounce ideas off of and to help me with my projects! Speaking of academic support, we are going to close out the list with possibly the biggest mistake I made during my first semester in architecture school: not focusing on other classes as well. Work in studio can last a long time. There have been multiple days where I don’t leave until 3 am. It’s important to get that work done however, if you don’t prioritize all of your classes, you will end up regretting it at the end of the semester. The saying ‘D’s get degrees’ is not something that you should follow.

College is a different world and nothing I ever did in high school prepared me for this. But I am hoping that I can improve my college experience with every passing semester!

Dear friends, for the next three weeks OfHouses will be guest curated by onSITE Architecture from Paris, France. onSITE Architecture is an architectural office founded by Marie and Keith Zawistowski. Marie Zawistowski was born in Paris, France and studied architecture at the Ecole d’Architecture Paris Malaquais. Keith Zawistowski was born in New Jersey and studied architecture at Virginia Tech. They met at Auburn University’s Rural Studio while both working as students with architect Samuel ‘Sambo’ Mockbee to design and build a charity house for Lucy Harris and her family. In 2005, Keith and Marie received a Graham Foundation Grant for “Traditions of Today and Tomorrow” - their study of traditional building practices in Ghana, West Africa. They have since married and established onSITE Architecture to continue their collaboration, making buildings, which are deeply rooted in the unique identity of people and place. By working from within the context of their projects, Keith and Marie strive to make buildings which are economically, culturally, and environmentally sensitive. Together, they co-founded and co-direct the designbuildLAB, a project-based experiential learning program focused on the research, development and implementation of innovative construction methods and architectural designs. designbuildLAB students collaborate with local communities and industry experts to conceive and realize built works of architecture that are both educational and charitable in nature. The aspirations of the program are simultaneously to reinforce the knowledge and skills necessary to the students’ successful and meaningful practice of architecture and to support development efforts in distressed communities by enriching the quality of their built environment. In practice, onSITE is a laureate of the 2014 AJAP “French young architects award” and has received multiple design awards including an Excellence Award from the Virginia Society American Institute of Architects and the prestigious “Prix Françoise Abella” from the French Beaux Arts Academy. In teaching, Marie and Keith were the first Professors of Practice at Virginia Tech’s College of Architecture and Urban studies, a position they held for 7 years. They are currently tenured professors at the French National School of Architecture in Grenoble, France. Both the designbuildLAB and their Designing Practice professional practice course have been recognized with numerous education awards including the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards’ “Grand Prize for the Creative Integration of Practice and Education in the Academy” and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture’s inaugural “Design/Build Education Award” for “best practices in design/build education”. Keith and Marie have been listed among the “top 100 individuals and teams working at the intersection of design and service” by Public Interest Design. The Virginia Society of the American Institute of Architects recently recognized Keith with the Award for Distinguished Achievement and Marie with Society Honors “for their extraordinary joint efforts to advance the art and science of architecture”. In addition to frequent publications of onSITE and designbuildLAB work, Marie and Keith have co-authored numerous articles and lecture widely. Marie and Keith Zawistowski prepared for OfHouses a very consistent selection of houses, published now in its second part, for which they wrote this short introduction:

The Regionalist School

At a time of increasing value in international brand identity, architecture is increasingly relegated to the production of commodity images: highly iconic sculptures, that belong to everywhere and nowhere and which fade as quickly as they rise. Manufactured products are rapidly replacing locally sourced materials, untrained laborers are replacing skilled craftsmen, and jet-setting “starchitects” with throngs of technicians are replacing regional masters with patiently trained apprentices. As Brian Mackay-Lyons puts it, “the massive firms are buying up the small and midsized firms and architects are becoming mobile human capital”. Some have embraced the change as inevitable progress and are enjoying the ride, some are casual actors just playing their role and some are demoralized victims of circumstance, but others have taken a stand and entrenched critical practices: cultivating places that they understand and enriching cultures that they know. British architectural critic Robert McCarter has referred to this group as “The Resistance”. McCarter argues “A conceptual chasm separates our time from the time when Wright began his career by apprenticing in the office of Adler and Sullivan rather than attending the university, learning through making in what may be called “the tradition of practice;” a fully integrated experience binding all principles of the ethical practice of architecture – the economic, functional, ecological, constructive, structural, material, aesthetic, sensorial, social, and cultural aspects that together affect our experience of inhabitation. Implicit … is “the understanding that the separation of architecture into specialized areas of expertise – currently the norm in both education and practice – is as destructive of disciplinary integrity as separating thinking from making, form from structure, space from use, or proportions from materials.” The foundations of this anti-theoretical “theory”, what Kenneth Frampton would later term “Critical Regionalism” can be found in Abbé Marc-Antonie Laugier’s narrative of the primitive hut from his 1755 “Essay on Architecture”, illustrated by Charles Dominique Eisen. The narrative explores the anthropological relationship between man and the natural environment as a fundamental basis for the creation of architecture. Architecture in France during this period was defined mainly by the Baroque style with its excessive ornamentation and religious iconography.  Laugier’s essay proposed that nobility was found in what was necessary for architecture, in the practical and the experiential rather than the iconic. Over the course of the coming weeks we will present some of the seminal works of this Regionalist School. Not the skyscrapers, museums and transportation hubs of the global megapoli, but two generations of simple houses born from the idea that durable, timeless and culturally significant works of architecture emerge from an intimate understanding of nature and culture. This is the work of critical practices, often intentionally small, who have found focus in serene places, taking the time to draw, to make models and even to actively share in the realization of their own projects. This work is the foundation of “The Resistance”.

Architecture of Atlanta (No. 2)

The Sweet Auburn Historic District is a historic African-American neighborhood along and surrounding Auburn Avenue, east of downtown Atlanta. The name Sweet Auburn was coined by John Wesley Dobbs, referring to the "richest Negro street in the world," one of the largest concentrations of African-American businesses in the United States. A National Historic Landmark District was designated in 1976, covering 19 acres (7.7 ha) of the neighborhood, significant for its history and development as a segregated area under the state's Jim Crow laws.

The first settlement here was on land formerly occupied by Union troops and was called Shermantown for many years. It developed quickly being near the Georgia Railroad and in 1879 was at the endpoint of a newly graded road called simply Boulevard, which led from the railroad to North Avenue near Ponce de Leon Avenue and Angier Springs.

The rise of Auburn Avenue as "the" black business district in Atlanta was to a great extent an outcome of the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot. Prior to this time black businesses operated largely in downtown Atlanta — a business district integrated as far as business ownership was concerned. But competition between working-class whites and blacks for jobs and housing gave rise to fears and tensions. In 1906, print media fueled these tensions with hearsay about alleged sexual assaults on white women by black men, triggering the riot, which left at least 27 people dead (25 of them black) and over 70 injured.

Black businesses started to move from previously integrated business district downtown to the relative safety of the area around the Atlanta University Center west of downtown, and to Auburn Avenue in the Fourth Ward east of downtown. "Sweet" Auburn Avenue became home to Alonzo Herndon's Atlanta Mutual, the city's first black-owned life insurance company, and to a celebrated concentration of black businesses, newspapers, churches, and nightclubs. In 1956, Fortune magazine called Sweet Auburn "the richest Negro street in the world", a phrase originally coined by civil rights leader John Wesley Dobbs. Sweet Auburn and Atlanta's black colleges formed the nexus of a prosperous black middle class and upper class which arose despite enormous social and legal obstacles.

Sweet Auburn was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. However, like so many other inner-city neighborhoods, Sweet Auburn fell victim to lack of investment, heavy, widespread crime, homelessness, and abandonment, compounded by construction of the Downtown Connector freeway that split it in two. In 1992 the National Trust for Historic Preservation recognized that it was one of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places and, in 2005, the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation included the area in its 2006 list of Places in Peril. The Historic District Development Corporation (HDDC) was formed to turn the trend around, starting with houses surrounding the birth home of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and working outward. The city of Atlanta is had completed the installation of the Atlanta Streetcar, a line that creates a loop connecting the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site to downtown and the tourist attractions of Centennial Olympic Park. The streetcar travels east along Edgewood Avenue and west along Auburn Ave.

In practice, onSITE is a laureate of the 2014 AJAP “French young architects award” and has received multiple design awards including an Excellence Award from the Virginia Society American Institute of Architects and the prestigious “Prix Françoise Abella” from the French Beaux Arts Academy. In teaching, Marie and Keith were the first Professors of Practice at Virginia Tech’s College of Architecture and Urban studies, a position they held for 7 years. They are currently tenured professors at the French National School of Architecture in Grenoble, France. Both the designbuildLAB and their Designing Practice professional practice course have been recognized with numerous education awards including the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards’ “Grand Prize for the Creative Integration of Practice and Education in the Academy” and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture’s inaugural “Design/Build Education Award” for “best practices in design/build education”. Keith and Marie have been listed among the “top 100 individuals and teams working at the intersection of design and service” by Public Interest Design. The Virginia Society of the American Institute of Architects recently recognized Keith with the Award for Distinguished Achievement and Marie with Society Honors “for their extraordinary joint efforts to advance the art and science of architecture”. In addition to frequent publications of onSITE and designbuildLAB work, Marie and Keith have co-authored numerous articles and lecture widely. Marie and Keith Zawistowski prepared for OfHouses a very consistent selection of houses, published in two consecutive parts, for which they wrote this short introduction:

The Regionalist School

At a time of increasing value in international brand identity, architecture is increasingly relegated to the production of commodity images: highly iconic sculptures, that belong to everywhere and nowhere and which fade as quickly as they rise. Manufactured products are rapidly replacing locally sourced materials, untrained laborers are replacing skilled craftsmen, and jet-setting “starchitects” with throngs of technicians are replacing regional masters with patiently trained apprentices. As Brian Mackay-Lyons puts it, “the massive firms are buying up the small and midsized firms and architects are becoming mobile human capital”. Some have embraced the change as inevitable progress and are enjoying the ride, some are casual actors just playing their role and some are demoralized victims of circumstance, but others have taken a stand and entrenched critical practices: cultivating places that they understand and enriching cultures that they know. British architectural critic Robert McCarter has referred to this group as “The Resistance”. McCarter argues “A conceptual chasm separates our time from the time when Wright began his career by apprenticing in the office of Adler and Sullivan rather than attending the university, learning through making in what may be called “the tradition of practice;” a fully integrated experience binding all principles of the ethical practice of architecture – the economic, functional, ecological, constructive, structural, material, aesthetic, sensorial, social, and cultural aspects that together affect our experience of inhabitation. Implicit … is “the understanding that the separation of architecture into specialized areas of expertise – currently the norm in both education and practice – is as destructive of disciplinary integrity as separating thinking from making, form from structure, space from use, or proportions from materials.” The foundations of this anti-theoretical “theory”, what Kenneth Frampton would later term “Critical Regionalism” can be found in Abbé Marc-Antonie Laugier’s narrative of the primitive hut from his 1755 “Essay on Architecture”, illustrated by Charles Dominique Eisen. The narrative explores the anthropological relationship between man and the natural environment as a fundamental basis for the creation of architecture. Architecture in France during this period was defined mainly by the Baroque style with its excessive ornamentation and religious iconography.  Laugier's essay proposed that nobility was found in what was necessary for architecture, in the practical and the experiential rather than the iconic. Over the course of the coming weeks we will present some of the seminal works of this Regionalist School. Not the skyscrapers, museums and transportation hubs of the global megapoli, but two generations of simple houses born from the idea that durable, timeless and culturally significant works of architecture emerge from an intimate understanding of nature and culture. This is the work of critical practices, often intentionally small, who have found focus in serene places, taking the time to draw, to make models and even to actively share in the realization of their own projects. This work is the foundation of “The Resistance”.
