Written by WPA on November 6, 2012. Posted in Model, Uncategorized.

Our part time intern, Olivia, currently studying at The University of Virginia, recently did an intense two week model exploration in studio. Her Professor, Matthew Jull of OMA, created his studio entitled “The End of the World as We Know it”, focusing on creating buildings for uncertainty or more precisely the up coming Apocalypse on December 21st. Their first project was to pick 5 words that embodied uncertainty like hoarding, defence, or protection. For each word the students had to create 3 models describing each word.
