Monday and Thursday are studio days. On these days in particular, the third floor undergraduate studio is filled with a frenetic energy of design, research, and exploration. Students can usually be found talking excitedly with design professors and classmates in a habitat saturated with trace sketches, study models, and empty coffee cups. Every week we’ll share a completed project, churned out from this energetic studio environment.

1A Studio | Blank Canvas by Audrey Tseng Fischer
Studio Instructor: Rick Andrighetti
Project Description:
The project brief consisted of the design of a residence and studio on the site of an artist-in-residence community. It was a requirement that the project was hand-drafted.
Project Manifesto:
Progressions in contribution to a blank canvas.
Nature has made its mark on the area, the trees, the creek, and the patterns of sunlight. The architect makes a mark on the area using what nature has left. Roof light-shelves are spaced to provide abundant spring, summer, and fall daylight into the artist-in-residence studio. The placement of the living spaces are based on morning and afternoon sun angles. As each resident arrives and departs, they leave an imprint of their own, movies, books, tools, paint splatter, for the next resident to discover and start anew.
