Schools Design Competition Information Our volunteers lead a ten week, hands-on apprenticeship to a group of ten to twelve middle school students. At the end of the season, the students create a product or a presentation to share and demonstrate what they have learned, something we call a WOW! Most of our volunteers come to us with no prior experience teaching or working with youth. We provide training and support to help them have a successful apprenticeship. Semesters run from late September to the end of December and mid-February to May. While the opportunity is challenging, the experience is richly rewarding. This fall we are seeking to recruit fifteen to twenty-five teams led by architects and designers, willing to devote one afternoon a week to work with our students. Working with Kairos Shen, the director of planning at the Boston Redevelopment Authority, we have created a competition that will focus on the architecture and public space of two T-stations currently slated for renovation: Jackson Square and Sullivan Square. The apprenticeship will allow all participants to creatively engage in a real world project relevant to their everyday lives and to present these ideas to a panel of high-profiled judges on December 12. Also, on September 6 at 6:00 pm, Citizen Schools, the BAS, and CDRC-Boston will co-host an introductory session at the Citizen Schools headquarters for architects and designers who will participate or are interested in participating. Ted Landsmark of the Boston Architectural College as well as Kairos will speak and there will be an opportunity to discuss the specifics of the competition. There

Get SketchUp 3D models from a UMass M.L.A. who has 2 years of experience developing the landscape architecture SketchUp modeling protocols for a Connecticut firm. SketchUp models are exceedingly communicative! You can model an entire site or a single detail and then you can take pictures of your model from any angle or from within it, using a variety of display styles, from simple forms with photorealistic paint to artful “hand” rendering. The program can generate animations showing walk-throughs or flyovers which really tell exciting stories. These animations can be inserted into a PowerPoint presentation, making them easy to use. You can have quickly made models for design studies, or more carefully detailed models for presentations and renderings. Work time for a model compares to making a few good hand renderings, but instead you get an infinite number of images from a single model! Models can be altered as design development proceeds. Work is done remotely in Western Massachusetts, with occasional visits to your office. All support graphics, such as AutoCAD and Photoshop are also available to make your model work hard for you. Contact SketchUpConsulting@comcast.net. and start showing your ideas in all three dimensions.
