Architecture Field Trip

This was certainly a jam packed weekend! Saturday was a field trip over to Connecticut to check out a machine and laser making factory. It was pretty interesting...not as gritty as the steel yard, but very pristine and spotless. The we headed over to Yale, which had an interesting array of architecture, and students. I would have not expected the crowd we saw. One guy was tight roping, and another group was LARPing (Live Action Role Playing). Our tour guide was the typical Yale student, but he was a good sport to put up with us. So here's the first post from the weekend.




Some of the machined pieces...they were so shiny!



Futuristic no?

The windows of this library are thinly cut pieces of marble

Since there's no direct sunlight, the books are kept safe.

This is the graduate studio space...It has better computers than some offices I've worked in!
