Placeless Book





My Studio Desk

Lecture Hall

Classroom Desk

Studio Atmosphere
Architecture Library

Initially, I planned to make some sort of architecture book monument on my studio desk in Knowlton Hall to demonstrate my undergraduate education.  However, I soon realized that there was no set of books or one particular place in which to best describe my experiences.  If you were to ask any other student or professor in the school, they would most likely have selected a different set of publications and places.  I decided that a field like architecture is too vast to sum up in some assorted collection of books.  Instead of making a "statue" in a single place, I chose to create a placeless book that is impressionable by its surroundings.  The images shown were all photographed in locations around the Knowlton School of Architecture that are significant to me.  This book, without an established environment, changes its contents in each location based on what I have personally learned or experienced there.  So, in a way, the book is demonstrating my personal undergraduate education at Ohio State's architecture program and the ways in which I have perceived it.
