Photo Stitch Assignment - Arch 230 Mikesch MueckeOur first assignment in Arch 230 was to find an interesting environment, capture it in pictures, and create a photo stitch in Photoshop. I chose this vacant bike rack on campus because of its simple rhythm and repetition.

Threshold Project Model - Arch 201 Kimberly ZarecorWe were asked to find a threshold at the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City, MO and create a 3-D diagram of it. This model represents a stone walkway dividing two contrasting environments. A shady, formal grove of trees from a bright, open grassy field. This model is made of bass wood, matboard, foam core, and string.
