Exhibition: "Passage: The Act of Passing"

July 1, 2010
From June 28 to July 8, the School of Architecture hosted an exhibition of student work resulting from the design seminar “Pasaje, la acción de pasar” (Passage: The Act of Passing), led by professors Gastón Boero, Daniel Fernández, and Fernando Castro. The seminar, which took place on May 27 and June 18, was part of Project 1 in the Architecture program.

The assignment involved constructing a passageway approximately 2 meters long using various materials such as plastic, cardboard, wire, wood, and recycled materials. The main innovation and feature of this design seminar was the incorporation of a 1:1 working scale, which meant that students had to face the challenge of first designing study models at conventional scales and then transferring the project to a 1:1 scale.
