Oscar Bush, May 11th


This w\Wednesday we arrived to the office at 9:00 am and David had our sketching exercises waiting for us. While he had a meeting Elijah and I practiced mirroring Stravinsky by
Pablo Picasso upsidedown! This is a popular design sketching exercise because it forces you to focus on the shapes rather than what part of the man you are specifically sketching. Once we finished, Elijah and I were eager to get get some bridge designing in so we discussed some possible alterations to out schematics before David returned at 11:00 am. David surprised us with the news that we would be headed to the montreal architecture museum a few blocks down. Elijah and I boogied over there and spent a long while discussing the things that David told us to keep in mind. What creates the space in the garden? What shape is mirrored from the building to the monuments across the street? What makes the atrium one of the most beautiful rooms in Montreal? We happily sketched sculptures, atriums, shrubbery, the building its self, and the schematics of the property, in the sunny 80 degree weather. We finished up at about 1:30 pm and David allowed us ro grab a bite to eat on the way back to thee office. We started back up again 2:10 pm where we talked through our experience with david and showed him our sketches. We were going to finish up our work at the house that day with with our 3d sketching project so we headed with David to maintenance and cut some plexiglass curious how it would play into our work. We arrived home at 3:30 with our materials and watched the video david instructed. We drew on the plexiglass a detailed sketch of our hand contorted in any way to make a challenge. We then copied that drawing onto paper, turning the 3-d to 2-d. Proud of our final products we saved our work and washed up for dinner at 5:30.

Day 6 senior Project Blog

  Blog #6 Oscar, May 16th Today we were up and at em at 7:00 am for another enormous breakfast. I found that David had made a change of plans and we would be spending most of the day visiting job sites. Excited for a change of scenery, we hit the road at 8:00 am. The drive was full of David pointing out certain examples of architecture that we passed, keeping the classroom rolling on the road. We then went to walk the property of a farm run by Davids's cousin and discussed how important and intentional the layout is. My favorite visit was when we entered a real job site and David walked us through the full schematics of an enormous condo and apartment complex. After a very long day of field trips we returned to the house exhausted. From 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm we decompressed by cranking out some contour sketches in the garden. Even though we had reached our time goa,l we asked David for one of the movies he wanted us to watch and discuss through an architectural lens. He challenged us ...

Day1 Senior Project Blog

Oscar Bush, May 9th      We arrived in Montreal late Saturday night and were warmly welcomed by the Sochaczevski family. We were able to sleep in Sunday and gather our bearings before our first day at the office on Monday. We had a late start Monday arriving to the office around 10:00 am and getting rolling around 10:30 am. David started us off with a well-put-together presentation on Design and the basics we would need to consider while trying to create a space. We put that to work as he took us around the mall (the office is in a mall) and we worked on sketching our perception of spaces. At 2:00 pm Elijah realized that he had to head to his driver's lesson, so we took a two hour break and I took the metro back to the house. Sketching the schematics of the train and station under David’s instruction. After a quick workout, I met Elijah back at the office, walking in proudly after using the Montreal public transportation system alone for the first time. Starting at 4:30 p...

Day 7 Senior Project Blog

Blog #7 Oscar Bush, May 18th This Tuesday we got started at 8:30 am and got right to work on our sketching warm ups. We started with a couple contour drawings but moved up to gesture drawings and David gave us another lesson on how we could improve. I probably cranked out 15-20 gesture drawing until 11:30 am when we switched over to designing our bridge and the adjacent walla design. We made some progress and elijah designed a really cool wooden light fixture. By 1:45 pm David surprised us with another field trip. His friend, Victoria Kaspi, an award winning canadian astrophysicist, and professor at McGill College and was overseeing a huge renovation on her builing. Not knowing the first thing about how to talk to the architects or what she even wanted in the building she called David and the architecture boys for help. We arrived at the McGill an hour and a half early so that we would have more time to sketch the beautiful campus. I layed out the theatre department, Sketched a sculptu...
