The atmosphere at The School of Architecture and Urban Planning from 2pm-3pm remained still, as students were in class, preparing for the most stressful time of the semester, critiques.  I decided to head back into the action after sunset, around 9pm.

“Aside from the twelve hours we spend in class throughout the week, we dedicate around 24-30 hours outside of class, in the studio,” Jackson Richard, senior, said.

Students flooded the building with coffee in one hand and a bag full of tools in the other.  Installations and sketches of a project on designing a residence hall at UWM covered the tables as creatively-driven students remained focused on their computer, crafting a brilliant future.
