John Linn's presentation at theory hour a few week ago really spoke to me. The way he presented the world and our impact on it made everyone see things in a different perspective. He spoke of sustainability, and the way in which humans "fit" on the earth. How we belong.

Jenny Paige was our speaker in theory hour last Wednesday. She is the Environmental and Sustainability Manager at UNCG, and heads the University Committee on Sustainability along with Anna Marshall-Baker. This committee is made up of "a diverse group of students, staff, faculty and administrators." The website can be found here.

Just a few pictures from a few weeks ago. We were to group into the "sections" of Interior Architecture we felt we belonged the most in, and create a statement on the wall to represent that group, using our pictures from our first theory hour. It was really fun to see everyone's ideas, though it was a little hectic getting organized and actually putting stuff on the walls.

Theory hour is once a week on Friday when we have speakers and activities that let all the different parts of the department come together. For our very first one, we were asked to think of a single word to represent the program here. My word was "explosive." Our pictorial representations of the word as well as another square with a photo and name were hung in alphabetical order all around the third floor studio space.
