(re)Configuring Identity:
Expanding the Hyde Collection, Glens Falls, NY
Selected Student Work:
Tiffany Chiang
Benjamin Schneiderman
In the design studio, students from a wide range of backgrounds have the
opportunity to consider the same problem, in a sense, to consider it together. Each however, understands it differently and approaches it with the strength and limitations inherent to their personal histories. An important function of design education is to allow the student to recognize the limitations that they bring with them and to discover the enormous range of the possibilities that can be realized – many, perhaps most, that are beyond their ability to imagine.
In this studio, students were asked to apprentice themselves to a specific artwork in the Hyde Collection and through careful observation and analytic exercises to bring forth from it an experiential property to be implemented in an architectural design. In
doing so the students had the opportunity tounderstand that the inspiration for architecture can come from a wide range of sources, and to learn from their colleagues throughout the studio the opportunities and limitations of the various approaches that were used.
