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/

The Hammerschlag Design Series 2015 fall project "The Dome" is under construction and featured in the Tuesday edition of The Brown and White. Read the B&W article and visit The Sacred Grove area of campus (corner of Packer Ave & Brodhead Avenue) to see daily progress.

Lehigh's Student Design Agency 'Fusion' is hosting an an open house in Chandler-Ullmann Hall on:
Tuesday, March 29: 12-1p
Thursday, March 31: 4-5p
Students interested in a career in design, advertising, project management or branding pop in and visit the 'Fusion' Team.

Meghan Barwick (Journalism) Sarabeth Brockley (Environmental Policy Design) Elizabeth Cornell (IDEAS) Sathya Ram (Design), Carli Sukonik (Design), and Luchen Wang (Computer Science) had work accepted in the Olympus InVision College Photography Competition at the Banana Factory in November through December 14. Pullitzer Prize winner Larry Price juried the exhibition. Sarabeth Brockley won first place for her piece “Crossing” and Luchen Wang won second place for his piece “The Other Side.”
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.”
Architecture students work on “the daydream machine” project in Professor Viscardi's Chandler-Ullman studio.
