It’s Always Sunny in New Haven, Connecticut
A few weeks ago, Core 2 studio ventured across New England to sunny New Haven, Connecticut. It’s tempting to say the best part of the day was a huge pizza feast at Bar (rumor has it New Haven pizza beats slices in NY), but even on a full stomach, walking around the city was lovely. And, […]
When Models Die
To architects models are important. Initially, we rummage around all the Blicks and Home Depots that Cambridge has to offer, and eventually we sequester ourselves around the studio, whether it be at our desk, a newly claimed work table, or even the nearest right-of-way for our fellow studio mates. Soon after, we begin to pour […]

The building, Center for Life Science, is one […]
THE SHARING MACHINE: Time for Fun
I’ve been following these comics (see below) on and off for a few years, and it seems like a good time to tell other people about them. Each one has a distinct character but they are written by the same duo: Natalie & Drew. I’m not going to get too heady about them, but they […]
Saturday Morning Bike Ride
With the fully changed, and now starting to fall of the trees, there are probably only a few more weekends of bike riding before 1. it gets too cold and 2. the end of the semester crunch means I’m in studio full time. I thought I’d share my favorite Saturday morning ride out to Concord. […]
Experiments in Communal Living
It seems like most urban design studios focus projects in cities. This makes sense- urbanity implies density, so conflating design opportunities with large population centers is perfectly logical. I traveled to San Francisco with my studio mates last semester. Other recent MIT studios have traveled to Caracas, Mumbai, Bogota, and Barcelona. We are taking a […]
YOGAGLO – When you can’t make it to the gym.
Forget it. After next week, there’s NO WAY you’re getting to the gym: Between desk crits, papers, and exams, you’re doomed to watch your all that hard work from summer vanish into a puddle of failed plots by the end of October. New students, don’t even think of buying a gym membership — it will […]
