I'm so slack here.
All I do is sit in cafes and try to draw people before they leave. These were from yesterday, with 10 colors. My favorite subject is people asleep on the train. Continue

Studio Culture Documentary Short
So recently (today) I started conducting interviews, along with capturing other footage, of architecture students talking about the subject of 'studio culture.' I am working on a documentary short (with a little money from the clemson AIAS) on the subject that will be part of that discussion at Clemson. I interviewed about 7 or 8 students today but with all interviews, even with as much freedom as you give the person being interviewed, the questions frame the discussion....
....So I would love to get any input from you all, whether it be questions to ask students, opinions about things that could be improved, subject areas that would provide students a chance to open up, important events/moments that should be captured on film in order to describe studio, or anything else you can think of.
Here is a brief, but not exclusive, topical rundown that I use to frame the discussion with interviewees:
-Meaning of studio culture
-Uniqueness of Clemon studio culture
-Dedication level of an architectural education
-Time spent of projects
-Ownership level of student work
-Inter-student relations (collaboration, camaraderie, sense of community)
-Student-professor relationships (tenure professors vs. younger professors, clearness of expectations, grading policy, the power of the professor)
-The culture of criticism/reviews as unique to studio culture
-the fluid campus as integral part of Clemson studio culture
Another topic that keeps coming up, that I think is particularly interesting and important, is the ability of professors to grade harshly or for students to be kicked out in order to make room for students who really want to be in the program, that get stuck on waiting lists.
Also...I would like to get some interviews with you all - maybe just by video-chatting with a screen capture software. I think the idea of the discussion not just taking place in physical-clemson studio is important to the idea of studio culture. So let me know if you got something to say.
I will be posting segments from these interviews soon.
