Welcome back
to the UWM Architecture LLC! We are off
to a great start this semester and have some exciting events planned over the
next few months. In J.P.’s section of
the LLC, students will be using the architecture building as a basis for
exploration of concepts related to drawing, human interaction, and future
possibilities. This week, students be
touring the building and taking pictures for future use. In Emmy’s section of the LLC, students will
be using various campus buildings as a way to explore the concepts of
walkability, accessibility, and convenience.
Students will also be using these three concepts to compare their life
before college to their life at UWM.
Throughout
the course of the semester, several events will be taking place. Each month, we will be holding an
architecture themed design charrette activity.
The content of these activities have yet to be decided, but they will be
a fun and educational way for students to explore architecture out of the
classroom setting. During these events,
students will be given a design problem and set of materials. They will then create a solution to the
problem and be evaluated by their peer mentors, RA, and fellow LLC
stakeholders.
Another
important event that will be taking place in April is the LLC’s trip to
Chicago. On this trip, we will be joined
by the Art & Design LLC. Most of the
architecture classes at SARUP focus on Milwaukee, so this trip will help the
students relate the concepts they are learning to a different environment.
