Our final project for Architecture in Context was due today. Architecture in Context is kind of like Studio, except our projects are more about the idea than the details of the project. This presentation was true competition style. We didn't have to do any sort of presentation, just prepare one board with all the information we wanted to show. We couldn't even put our names on the boards so it was like a real architectural competition. The judges were really harsh when they announced the results, though. Rather than only announce the winners, they announced every project from worst to best and explained why each one was eliminated, so all we heard were the bad things about each project and not any of the good things.

After the winner announcements, we all went downstairs to the High Bar for aperitivo, and then Hardy, Em, Kelly, Nadia, and I had to go back to studio to finish our preparations for the auction the next day.
