    The institution launched its consolidation in 2007 by hiring the star architect Winy Maas of the hot Dutch architecture firm of MVRDV to design the project.The effort then hit numerous snags, including the worst recession since the Depression, and the revelation in 2008 that the Maas expansion design... would be too costly.The Philadelphia architecture firm of Burt, Hill, originally hired to help realize the Maas design, became the lead designer.

    In my last semester at Taubman College I had the privilege of taking an amazing drawing class with one of the school’s foremost experts on drawing and representation, Perry Kulper. His work has been published extensively, in addition to several posts here on archinect.

    For the purposes of the drawing seminar, the work was split up into (4) drawing assignments which explored various methods of using drawing as a generative operation, instead of merely a representational one. 

    At the end of the semester we held an exhibition to showcase the most interesting work. The majority of the work showcased was from our last two assignments, “generative removal” and “real slow.” Each of the drawing projects involved a large commitment of both time and energy from myself and my fellow classmates. A commitment that, at least in my opinion, was paid back 10x by the final work.

    This work focuses on erasure as a means of generating an arch...
