WEEK 3

This week Professor Huang invited Andrew Chandler, the Head of the Architecture Department in City College of San Francisco to speak to us about entering the world of architecture. He discussed a lot about the road it takes to go into a field of architecture. He mentioned that the available majors at CCSF for architecture are architecture, construction management, and interior design.

The second half of the class Professor Huang introduced the class to Framing Space and how it is used by architects. One must use different types of approaches to seeing space in order to create the best product and/or experience for others.. 

This is a chapel in Valleaceron that was done by the firm Sancho-Madridejos. This chapel is great example of framing space. One must look at architectural structures as a painting or a picture, the architect has thought about every detail and knows the ways people will view his work.

SMAO is a unique firm in which they like to work with a box fold concept. The chapel in Valleaceron is inspired by this origami above.
