Welcome to ARCH 1390 - Digital Representation Studio!

Please put an hour or two aside in the next couple of days to get the following sorted:

1) Create a new blog in blogger for the purpose of ARCH1390. Do not use a blog you have created for a previous class. You will use this blog to demonstrate your weekly progress through the course. Please use the naming convention: "ARCH 1390-2013 - Student Name"

2) Keep note of the studio blog:  http://arch1390-2013.blogspot.com.au This blog will contain information you will need in relation to studio exercises, major assignments and any general notifications that happen during the semester. Note: It is YOUR responsibility to keep up to date with all of this information!

3) From the list below you will be selecting one designer/artist to study for the rest of the semester. Throughout the course of the studio you will be creating analyticalinterpretive, and "reinventive" work through unpacking their designs and how they are represented in drawings, models, and other forms of media created by the firm / individual. Spend an hour googling the list below and see which you find most interesting. Choose someone to have a bit of fun with!

You will need to arrive at the decision by the end of week 1 (Midnight Sunday):


- Coop Himmelblau - Emilio Ambasz
- Andrea Palladio   - Studio Gang Architects
- Friedensreich Hundertwasser - Gian Lorenzo Bernini
- Antonio Gaudi   - Simon Murton
- Erich Mendelsohn - Fariborz Sahba
- M C Escher - Oscar Niemeyer
- Yona Friedman - Piranesi (the prison etchings)
- Nicholas Schuybroek  - Santiago Calatrava
