Here Be Dragons: Student Work 2012-2013
-
Larry Wayne Richards Gallery, 230 College Street
Opening reception: November 4 @ 8:00pm
Here be dragons is a curious phrase derived from medieval cartographic notation. The placement of dragons, sea serpents and other mythical creatures on maps indicated un-charted and likely perilous territory.
The 2013 student exhibition focuses on work produced within the option and thesis studios for Architecture, Landscape, and Urban Design. These studios are an opportunity for upper-level students to pursue and explore personal research sites. The work collected here constitutes a vast array of conceptual and practical approaches to design practice and representation.
The exhibition opening will also feature the launch of The Annual 13: Accumulation.
The Annual is a yearly student-initiated publication of exemplary student work from the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design. The book highlights exceptional work from all levels and courses, both to showcase the thoughtful work we engage in and to inspire new and potential students. Featured projects exemplify who we are at the Daniels Faculty and what we want to be in the world.
The Annual 13: Accumulation explores issues of information accumulation and what this means to design — beyond but including the beautiful image. It features a cross-section of student work that critically engages in the impetus behind design.
Copies of The Annual 13 and previous versions can be purchased for $25 at:
