ED3 Presentations!

School officially starts tomorrow but school won't officially start for me until next Monday afternoon. Yesterday I went to school for studio presentations, each studio prof gave us a presentation on what they plan on doing in the coming year, their interests or if they plan on going on any trips. Today I went to make my choice and tomorrow I have interviews. I could have scheduled the interviews for tonight but they begin at 6 and I didn't want to wait around for another 4 hours. Tomorrow my interviews are at 12:20 and 1:00. I think they will look through out portfolios and just ask us questions...I'm not too sure, but we'll see. It's a pretty easy start, a lot of transition time.

During the presentations a prof showed the Toronto beach picture and Andrew and I were like "we were there!" but that studio is only for the higher grades. We got to listen to ALL 15 studios but we could only pick from 5.

Two of our choices involves working on this flim. It is a partnership with the faculty of Film and Music. One choice involves designing the bedroom and the other is the kitchen. The kitchen studio will be going to Paris, but I'm not sure about the other. Unfortunately they were not my top 3 choices. I don't think it will be as straight forward as 'set design' and I'm not much of a movie goer. I like them of course but I'm not very good at analyzing the setting and stuff...I am good with the plots though! Plus traveling to Paris is expensive! Plus they tried to explain the general plot of the movie...but I didn't really get it...it's one of those 'artsy' movies, not a TVB drama, lol.

So here are my choices... Number 1 went to this studio that will focus on both theory and representation of architecture and thinness rather than bigness. Number 2 will focus on how time affects and changes architecture. Number 3 will focus on exchange, how our various ways of exchange is incorporated into architecture and will include a trip to Montreal for some cultural exchange. Topic wise I like number 2 the best but I didn't want to put it as number 1 because the prof who will be teaching the studio is unavailable until next monday when studios will start. His presentation was given by another prof because of his absence and there are no interviews as a result. Number 3 interests me the least but I like the trip to Montreal, not a too expensive trip. I understood Number 1 the best, she had the best communication skills and the topic is reasonably interesting.
