October has been a great month for the Architecture
LLC! The students are working hard
in their architecture classes and have shown great progress. In the first section of the LLC course,
the students have been working on studying elements of topography and how to
best place a building on a site considering various cultural and environmental
factors. They are currently
working on creating a site model to represent the piece of land they are working
with. In the second section of the
LLC, the students are going on site visits during their class period to many
places around Milwaukee. They have
visited The Pabst Brewery, Milwaukee City Hall, The Third Ward, and some
beautiful residential areas around campus. During the site visits, the students are analyzing building
styles and drawing sketches of the architecture that surrounds them. 
This Saturday, the 25th of October, the LLC is
taking a break from their academics to have a fun pumpkin painting session in
Cambridge. The students will
explore areas around their residence hall to find unique buildings or styles
that they will then represent in some way on their pumpkin. There will then be a discussion on the
different representations they chose to paint.
A new addition is coming to the Architecture LLC! RA Katy has been working hard to design
and implement a display system for the LLC students to
showcase some of their work that they have completed throughout their multiple
architecture courses. This will be
a great way to have each section of the LLC present their work to the other
section as well as the other residents of Cambridge Commons. The display system will be installed
shortly with pictures to follow in next month’s blog post.
