For the last portion of a three-course series in Product Design, Lehigh University students were challenged to design products to be sold at the National Museum of Industrial History in South Bethlehem.  The products are inspired by the museum and all contain a sheet metal component, but vary greatly in size and price. As college students, this is the first time we are selling our work and are super excited to share it with you!

Brennen Stenke '17 a Dale S. Strohl '58 grant recipient recently completed an architectural installation on the quad area behind Whitaker Hall. Stenke collaborated with Professor Hyun-Tae Jung, Ph.D with the design portion of the project during Spring '15 and again during the construction phase in the Fall '15 semester. Stenke has titled his installation 'Surge' to describe the motion of the varying length projections which form a wave like surface.

The three-dimensional grid system made of 2" x 2" strips of pressure-treated lumber are connected with screws and metal anchors positioned in a way that the object looks differently as it is circulated. Stenke's installation assembled with the assistance of his architecture major peers will be on display through the end of the Spring '16 semester.

Images captured by Lehigh Communications and Public Affairs photographer, Christa Neu.  More images of "Surge" can be found at the following: http://lehighu.tumblr.com/

Carli Sukonik is a recipient of a Strohl Senior Thesis grant to complete her photography exhibition which opened on December 5, 2014 in the Girdler Gallery. Her thesis centers on Philadelphia during those rare times of day when only one or two people can be seen in a wide angle street scene. Her ability to see line, sharp angles, light and shadow in order to take an ordinary environment and render it extraordinary is remarkable. Carli’s long depth of field coupled with her eye for geometry are part of her unique vision. Titled “Looking is not Seeing” Carli’s thesis exhibition invites the viewer to see beyond the object and “view the photographs in terms of value structure as the composing element.”
