THE CHILDREN OF ARCADIA's installation @ Sunshine Art Museum

Here's an image of The Children of Arcadia's installation at the Sunshine Art Museum in Beijing. Unfortunately we were unable to project the work because of skylights in the museum. We were quite pleased with the final installation. The show runs until November 30, there's still time.......

Some of my architecture student's work..... . .


Here is some strong student work made in my [first-year] 3-D AutoCAD class that I'm currently teaching at New York City College of Technology's Architecture Department. These renders were done by my student Dennis Edemeka [decembalo@gmail.com] for the classes Barcelona Pavilion Project.

Baghdad Skyline mentioned on on Rhizome.org

I'm excited to say Baghdad Skyline was mentioned on Rhizome.org in an artical by Ceci Moss "Goodbye Bush!". This really means alot to myself and the rest of the team because we felt so strongly about the piece. The project team was made up of myself - Mark Skwarek project, Joseph Hocking code, Felix Lu assistant, and Damon Baker as advisor.

Baghdad Skyline was originally shown at Soundscape2007 which was produced by Savvas Spyridopoulos [much thx!]
