    Architecture term reviews shown this week

Projects of students in

Combine a science fair project, a
term final and an interview, and it
equals the Department of Architec
ture’s term reviews.
Architecture studio classes are
presenting their term reviews this
week. Students present their de
signs of office buildings, homes
and landscapes. The work is pre
sented in Lawrence Hall and is
somewhat similar to an art show,
except reviewers inspect and cri
tique the projects.
The critiques are a good way for
students to learn what they did
well and what they need to im
prove on in the future, said Bart
Johnson, a reviewer and assistant
professor in the School of Architec
ture and Allied Arts.
“The review is one of the high
lights of the department because
the students are able to learn from
what other people have present
ed,” he said.
For every class there were ap
proximately five reviewers, includ
ing a mix of professors and gradu
ate students.
These student projects demand
many hours of work and intense
effort from the students.

“It is hour after hour stuck in the
studio,” said Karl Sveinsson, a se
nior majoring in landscape archi
tecture. “I spread the misery out
over a few days.”
The project for Sveinsson's class
was to redesign an actual building
that is located in Eugene.
The house is a 1920s English cot
tage that has been converted into a
business. The class members de
signed a parking lot, garden area
and other general landscape fea
tures. The students were allowed
to choose their preferred medium
for their presentations. Some de
signs were done in watercolors,
while others were sketched in pen
and marker.
Sveinsson said there were cer
tain guidelines, but students were
allowed to develop their own
ideas of what the site should look
like.
For freshman Thea von Geldem,
this first presentation offered a new
experience.
"It was definitely stressful prepa
ration, but I ran now consider their
ideas forthe next project,” said von
Geldem of the critiques.
She was quick to add that the
whole experience was fun and re
warding.
“This first time was hectic,” said
freshman Nick Podesta. “But we
can look forward to doing this for
the next few years.”
Seating
Continued fromPagelA
ets. The department believes that
student funding needs to be closer
to the market value of the tickets,
Walton said.
The Athletic Department also
could benefit from negotiations if
they make more seating available
for purchase by the general public.
Updating the contract between the
students and the Athletic Depart
ment is a necessity, Walton said,
to keep up with the demands of
the public and budget constraints.
Walton also said that student at
tendance at games is low enough
that tickets normally allocated for
student use could be sold to the
public. This would increase atten
dance and revenue for the Univer
sity.
Tickets that are not picked up
by students are made available for
sale to the public seven days prior
to the game.
Hamlin said that resale of stu
dent tickets to the public accounts
for some of the low attendance. By
selling tickets to the public this far
in advance, many students do not
have the opportunity to retrieve
their tickets. He would like to see
the window for the sales of stu
dent tickets to the pubic decreased
to about five days.
The student section is always
full but is not always filled with
students, Hamlin said.
Another point of contention for
Hamlin is the loss in the number
of student tickets available over
the years. One example is at
McArthur Court. The number of
seats available for students on the
floor at Mac Court has dropped
from nearly 1600 in 1995 to 869
this year.
“With all of the unanswered
questions about Athletic Depart
ment accounting and student at
tendance, we shouldn't be making
any concessions,” Hamlin said.
