Final Review in Review
December 15, 2010
Its been just shy of a week since the final review; I wanted to wait a bit before posting about it just to let the completeness of studio really sink in. (Well, that and being kept busy working on and finishing up the thesis prospectus and other final work). But, after giving it some thought, I can say with confidence that it was a successful review for everybody. Thinking about it, not one person had an underdeveloped project resulting in a not-so-good review. The level of thought and work that everybody showed was rather impressive. (Over the next month, the projects will be making it on to the website).
While I didn't take extensive notes on each presentation, I thought it might be best if I talked most about the critters.
In total, we had five guest critics: Ivan Rupnik (currently a professor at Northeastern and has extensive knowledge about Sarajevo), Nadja Beglerovic (Resident Director for Triple-Five dormitory at WIT and from Sarajevo), Dunja Vujinic (freshman studio professor at WIT and originally from Bosnia), Irena Matulic (practicing architect in Boston and from Croatia), and Erblin Bucaliu (a fourth year architecture student at WIT and from Kosovo). The above picture from left to right is of Ashley (presenting), Irena, Erblin, and Ivan.
Overall, the critics, all having a background with Sarajevo, were helpful giving us all feedback on our projects. It took a bit for things to get rolling, but after some time, it was difficult getting them to stop. The shining star of the jury was Ivan, who always had plenty to say for every project. (I'm not entirely sure about the length, but while critting Phil and Joe, he gave them a short 20 minute lecture on planning).
Head to the photo gallery to see pictures from the review. The order in which we presented was: Ashley, Anthony + Chelsea, Amanda, Phil + Joe, Adam, Zack, Jen. Surprisingly, for only having 9 people to present, the crit lasted longer than we all thought it would, ending at approximately 5:30.
And a special thanks to our friends from Sarajevo, making it to the crit via Skype! Thank you Jasmina, Dino, Emir, and Emina! It was definitely appreciated.
And as I said before, great work done by all!
