Student memory book 2020

Student memories 2019-2020

ARCHIP

This year the student senate has decided to create a yearbook in order to try to capture some of the many memories that we made here at ARCHIP. It is a collection of events, stories, and accomplishments embellished with our feelings about the year. It is filled with big events and small events that sum up our year and express the fun times and late nights that we shared together.

This yearbook isn’t just a collection of memories that we have barely any ties to. It is a memorabilia of the relationships and community that we have formed through each of these events over this past year. The good, the bad, the stressful, the fun, all drawing us closer together.

We hope that this yearbook has a piece of everyone in it because without all of each other, we wouldn’t have been able to fill this book with ARCHIP student memories.

“My second year at ARCHIP was an interesting and challenging one. As inconvenient as the covid19 situation was, it is nice knowing the school can adapt to the unpredicted challenges in a way that helped us make it through what ultimately ended up being a successful second semester.

Lesson learned from the 1st semester: plan your model making well ahead of time and try to have it done at least a few days before submission.

Or else you might end up at Prusa Lab sharing a reserved time-slot the day before, trying to beat the clock, making you so stressed out that afterwards you have to binge-eat at McDonalds with all the parts you cut that didn’t blow away in the machine.

That was a good day, eh Lucy? Looking forward to the final year and applying my skills and knowledge to future projects. And of course, the Halloween Party!”

“The first year of the master program in ARCHIP showed me how problems in architecture are solved not only in theory but also in practice. And the opportunity to work in a team with interested students, under the guidance of knowledgeable tutors, helped me to see other views and approaches in solving seemingly simple problems.”

Concept presntation Little did we know this would be the last in person presentation of the semester.

GAD “The emergency lockdown caught the GAD studio off guard right after the concept presentations.

The precisely planned structure of the emerging semester established a clear framework for the course as the students were working in teams since the very first week and had several accomplished assignments behind them. Contrasting the overall situation in ARCHIP and in the world, Shota’s and Ondrej’s students almost immediately received clear guidance for the rest of the reformatted semester together with inclusive opportunities for private online consultations and distanced feedback without any loss in quality. Furthermore, 8 CIEE students were sent back to the United States, which made it even harder for the tutors to prevent the educational narrative from falling apart, but they managed to tackle the time difference and provide flexible solutions for project reviews and presentations. The studio remained holistic and adaptive till the very end due to immense efforts of the studio leaders, everyone passed the course, the majority of the students stepped forward in the academic practice while having a perfect example of inclusivity and adaptability in disturbed environments.”

– Robert
