India!

The anxiety that I’m felling for this 20-something hour plan flight is overwhelming, but not nearly as overwhelming as my sheer excitement for this incredible experience. I am most excited to encounter all the colors, shapes, smells, tastes, and sounds that India has to offer. I anticipate it to be quite different from quiet little Greensboro; where nearly everyone is 5’4” and blonde. I’m super psyched about all the buildings and structures we are going to encounter. Can’t wait to sketch!

Stay awake!

This was an e-mail sent to my by my mother. I'm sorry I don't know who to credit for the photography but these are pictures taken in Sydney, Australia. Can you guess what its made of?

Hm' ...

Coffee! Thats right, this piece of art work was created by using 3,604 cups of coffee. Each cup of coffee was created by measuring out different amounts a milk to make all these shades. I hope they gave all these cups of joe to the homeless... Maybe Starbucks could use it as a tax wright off!

My Sisters House

My Sisters House, located in Greensboro, was designed collectively by Professor Robert Charest and UNCG’s Urban Studio students. This housing unit was built with the intention of housing four unwed teenage mothers, their children and one Youth Focus house Mother. The unit itself is comprised of two wings; which are connected by a centrally located space. As one enters the home they are greeted by a large living room adjacent to a community kitchen. To the left, a naturally lit corridor leads to the individual suites belonging to the young mothers. A longer hallway runs perpendicular to the first and houses passageways to the laundry room, a small office, and the living quarters for the Youth Focus Mother.
