On Wednesday, November 18, followers of the Daniels Faculty Instagram page got a behind-the-scenes look at Faculty life when Lecturer Jay Pooley took over the account. Jay, who teaches in the undergraduate architecture program, is the first Faculty member to do an Instatakeover. Jay took our followers along on his morning workout, a visit to a recently completed design project as well as the undergraduate studio course How to Design Almost Anything, which he coordinates.

Check out all of Jay's photos below! And search #DanielsTakeover on Instagram to view past Instatakeovers.

Good Morning Daniels! I'll be taking over your Instagram for the day! I'm Jay Pooley @mrjpooley (last one on the right), a Lecturer at the Daniels Faculty. Designers work hard. Long hours, short deadlines and late nights can take a toll on the body and mind. That's why I start my days off early with a good workout with friends. See you soon!

Hey guys! @mrjpooley here! As some of you know, part of my practice and design research is centred around the development of physical atmospheres for the production of film and television. Here we are putting the finishing touches on a camera test for a new project which examines food and it’s sensorial relationships. #dayinthelife #instatakeover #danielsfaculty #uoft #uoftdaniels

Visiting a new project that's just wrapped up construction! One of the best things about architecture is being able to connect back to the community around you. I've had the pleasure of working with some of my favourite friends and neighbours, helping them open their businesses and realize the potential of the spaces around them. #dayinthelife #instatakeover #danielsfaculty #uoft #uoftdaniels

Great work from our studio class How to Design Almost Anything. This project "Making" explores the design of formal language through the use of the video game Minecraft. #dayinthelife #instatakeover #danielsfaculty #uoft #uoftdaniels

You're only as good as the people around you. I sure have some great people around me including Jay Zhao, a graduate student and one of my teaching assistants here at Daniels. #dayinthelife #instatakeover #danielsfaculty #uoft #uoftdaniels
