Here are the photos of the SCI-Arc Alumni Summer Open House event held last Sunday. The house was at Venice, Los Angeles. The house owner Robert Thibodeau kindly showed us around the house which he designed. Really sleek and cool house. Lots of timber and big swinging glass doors. About 20-30 people turned up. Chatted with a few, the people that came include alumni from the 70's till now and also current students. Some parents and friends came along too. Overall, it was a really nice experience to mingle around. Santino, the current Alumni president contacted me a few weeks ago and asked me to get a few recent graduates to present our academic works at the open house, with the objective of updating the alumni members with the current situation of SCI-Arc.
Josh Sprinkling, Kris Conner and I turned up and presented our work. Josh presented a group project about bringing back the Raiders' Stadium to LA, next to the Dodger's Stadium. The animation video, ala MTV-style, blew everyone over.
Kris presented his thesis work, Case Study House 22.1. And I presented my thesis, Advent of the Pirates, and the Dragonfly Office building (a group project with Greg). For a moment, we felt like we were transported back in time to presented our work in front of a critic jury. As usual, I began perspiring like crazy. haha...
Overall, it was a very casual affair, light-hearted chats and Santino commented afterwards that it was a great success, asking for more recent grads to come forward to share their works.
Great house, generous host, friendly, interactive alumni, good food and drinks, and more opportunities to show off one's works to gather more feedback! Enjoy the pics!
