So, I got the university (UNL College of Architecture) newsletter and took a skim through some of the articles, and one reminded me of a portion of the insanity that has brought to this point so far. It was a certain Professor Martin Despang , native to Germany, who was teaching for his first semester at our college and I had the priveledge of having his studio. I also ended up in his studio for grad school and took a certain materials class he taught, because his take on design sparked my curiosity. I had NEVER worked that hard for school projects. It wasn't just that though, it was his perspective on design and questioning the common perception. Why? This is what likely has me thinking about materials, texture, space, and function now[I hadnt quite grasped these concepts yet. Why does the floor have to stop at the wall. Why cant a floor become a wall? Why cant my cabinets or out of OSB? or Plexiglass? Something with texture, feel] Thats it.
