Proceeding without any mention of Design Studio would be, I believe, an exercise in fallacy. Now in my fourth year of CSA, I have grown quite fond of the time spent in studio. It is like no other learning environment I have experienced. The engagement among my peers and lecturers, the sharing of knowledge with them, and the critiques they give have been a valuable resource to me. Within the core of studio, my learning has been facilitated by augmenting my personal experience with research investigation and reflection and this new interaction. In fact I have taught myself more than any of my many lecturers have, and I think that is the point. They are meant to be only guides.

Welcome to Not to Scale
Welcome to not to scale, a site I intend to furnish with gen concerning architecture, art and design. Not to scale will serve as a virtual identity for my work, intentions and views.
I aim to construct a space quite different to a typical architectural blog. This will not be a diving board of links and images but a forum in which my theories can be analyzed and experiences shared. Expect to see me constantly highlight my own research and discoveries, including the impression they’ve had on me and the reasons behind it.
Through the medium of text, images and video I will also display my own work. Anticipate a mixture of my own personal projects as well as work produced through the remainder of my tenure as a student at The Caribbean School of Architecture. Throughout my displayed portfolio I will highlight the research and process that influenced my designs.
I will also take a detailed look at technology and media related to architecture as a digital field. With the evolution of ubiquitous computing, architects and artists are presented with new methods of expression and productivity. Through this exploration I will suggest ways in which present and upcoming technologies can augment our efforts as architects and designers.
So sit back as I start detailing my thoughts, my views, my work, not to scale “not to scale”
