Rumble and the end of academic life (at least for a few years...)


June 9/10 saw the first annual "Rumble" being held at UCLA AUD. All student projects from the undergraduates to the graduating third years were on display and the entire architecture building was turned into a big gallery. Many alumni, local architects and a handful of "stars" made it to the opening show on Monday night. I think everyone was a bit apprehensive in the weeks leading up to rumble as to whether such a large scale operation could be pulled off successfully. Despite a minor few equipment problems everything went very smoothly and the actual event was deemed a success by all in attendance.

I'd like to extend a special thanks to everyone in the Sotamaa research studio, and especially my group partners for their hard work in both completing their own studio projects, but also in setting up the studio's exhibition.
