The Way Studio Works

Focused making, review, editing, adjustment, and improvement are the key part of studio culture and performance, not getting it done. These are not tasks, they are lessons- etudes or canons on urbanism. We're not the sort of teachers who gladly shirk from teaching because you choose not to take the criticism and review necessary for you to improve and professionalize your work. We're not satisfied or relieved when you don't engage us. We have things to teach you. Just doing it is not learning. Diligently, persistently, curiously, and personally learning about the making of architecture is what we're doing. It is how we professionally train. Focus in the studio on your work. Quit making distractions for yourself. Shut off the IM, videos, Facebook, etc. etc. In fact, shut off your computers when in class unless accessing project information.
