The course focused on the scripted creation of compositional images; In order to do this, the students took their own source images and ran them through a series of interactive scripts that were written for the class. The students tweaked these scripts to the specifics of their own design direction, and eventually came out with both an animation, and a single “best” image. Using Frank Gehry’s Washington DC installation as inspiration, the students went about fabricating their design in a number of mediums (vinyl, canvas, transparent film). I was responsible for keeping attendance, providing in class tutorials on the software / techniques we were using, compiling student materials at submissions, setting up for reviews, coordinating with fabricators, and fielding questions from students during and outside of class.

  I was in charge of creating a graphic strategy and then applying it to all four of the Budapest competition entries. I also worked on massing design, plan and section details, rendering, and other representations for all of the competition projects. I carried this role forward through the summer to two other projects: Mapo park in Korea, and Plovdiv Square in Bulgaria.

This ranged from answering software questions, to troubleshooting network issues, to checking out peripherals, and even repairing computer hardware issues. There were a few other students working at the help desk, out of whom I was the most senior; it was my responsibility to delegate work to them and make sure that everything was handled properly.
