Architectural Design @ Stanford

This new post shares portfolios of students continuing to graduate studies in architecture. We think it will be of interest for those developing their portfolios to see the portfolios that assisted these students in getting into the schools of their choice.

Marcela Delgado who graduated in 2005-06, applied to a number of graduate schools of architecture in 2006-07. She has been accepted at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Berkeley, and the University of Texas. To see her portfolio click here. (pdf)
Joseph Bergen who is graduating this year (2006-07) was accepted at Harvard and Yale. To see his portfolio click here.

CEE 183: Integrated Building Design,
Prof. Greg Deierlein, Terman 101, T/Th, 10-11:50am

Design decision making from conception through construction of civil infrastructure facilities considering sustainable design aspects. Execu­tion of a design alternative through development of a structural system, considering integration with architecture, construction, and building systems.

Class sessions will include time spent working in design project sessions with guidance and critiques by faculty and industry mentors. The class is designed around the concept that architectural students and engineering students will complement each other in approaching design decision making from conception to structural execution.

Prerequisites for AD Majors: E14, CEE 100, CEE 101A, CEE 156, CEE 130, CEE 134A or CEE 137A, and CEE 136.

Note – if you have questions contact Prof. Deierlein via e-mail: ggd@stanford.edu

Left to Right: Natalie Ramirez and Joseph Bergen (seniors), and Charlie Davis (junior), are finalists this year for the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Scholarship Awards granted by the Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the AIA.

It is exciting news that all three Stanford architecture majors who applied for the AIA Scholarships (Santa Clara Valley Chapter) have made it to the finalist phase.

Among some 20 overall candidates, we are happy that our Stanford AD majors have made it to the interview phase. Best of luck to them with their interviews.

Last year’s winner was from our first graduating class of architectural design. Julia Hu
won a combined award given that year of $9000. Julia continued at Stanford this year in a one year co-term master’s program studying Construction Engineering Management.

Majors, join us for fieldtrip to the Contemporary Jewish Museum by Daniel Libeskind where there will be an informal presentation by the project architect George Klumb followed by a hard hattour of the construction site.

When: Friday, February 9 at 2:30PM. We will be meeting at 1pm at the SFMoMA Café for lunch.
Where: 121 Steuart St., San Francisco (map). We plan on carpooling, so indicate if you can drive and how many seats you have available in your RSVP.

Why: Come spend Friday afternoon learning about an exciting contemporary construction project in progress. Come early and have lunch with your fellow Architectural Design and CEE majors in San Francisco. All sponsored by the Department.

RSVP to reserve a space on the tour and please indicate your interest in attending lunch before the tour.

We have reached capacity for this trip. Thanks to all those that RSVPd

Special Thanks: to Professor John Loomis, Patti Walters, Lorraine Potter, and students for helping coordinate this special event.

left to right, Marcela Delgado, Julia Hu, and Lauren Schneider- our first architectural design grads 05-06

Marcela Delgado, one of our first three graduates in Architectural Design (05-06) has just recently brought us up to date on what she has been doing since graduation.

This last November, she located a position as an Intern Architect with HKS
in Dallas. Marcela tells us that HKS has a broad based practice which includes among other projects - institutional, healthcare and sports facilities. www.hksinc.com

Meanwhile, prior to her new position, she had been hard at work polishing her portfolio, taking the GRE’s, and applying to the following graduate architecture schools: Harvard, Berkeley, Yale, Columbia, University of Texas, University of Virginia, and Princeton. As of March 20, 2007, Marcela has been accepted to master’s degree programs in architecture at Harvard, Berkeley, Yale, Columbia, and University of Texas.

I requested that Marcela allow us to post her portfolio, and she has just sent her gracious permission. I felt that viewing her portfolio might be beneficial to all of you with that task ahead.

Many thanks to her for allowing us to post her portfolio! Btw, Marcela begins studies at Harvard GSD fall 07.

Join us for the first ever AD program BBQ! We’ll be grilling hamburgers, hotdogs, and something vegetarian, so come ready to eat. And for Majors, your AD T-shirts will be waiting for you there too!

If you can RSVP to me (jbergen@stanford.edu) that would help us out a lot!

What: Architectural Design BBQ
When: 4:30pm Friday December 1st
