Architecture (Davidson)

Architecture is a class taught at Davidson. It is the only class where students are allowed to use weapons (box cutters), despite TIPsters' tendencies to unintentionally injure themselves. It is also the lit-est of the classes. That is a proven fact.

2015 Term II

One Word: Legendary

Instructor: Dylan Rinda TA: Katherine Barymow

Students:

• Mira
• Adam
• Jakob
• Josh
• Colin
• Leah
• Kelsey
• Ramki
• Sid
• Sam
• Christopher
• Young Jun

Jokes:

• During the trip to Charlotte, Colin -expressing true TIPspirit- wore his relationTIP's pink skirt. When they went to the mall, a security guard yelled at him for going to the men's restroom and almost kicked him out.
• "Freakin' A"
• Politics- On the first day, Colin brought up politics and there was a healthy discussion, a first for most of the students, however Kelsey didn't like the topic and thus discussion of politics was banned.
• Note from Kelsey: I live for politics and would never "not like" the topic. I don't remember this but it is much more likely I debated everyone and get too wound up for Dylan. Also saying it was "the first healthy discussion for most" students was complete BS. I'm only not deleting it out of respect for the open forum that is TIPwiki. Also how is that a joke...

2011, Term II

Architecture was taught by two ferocious, terrifying, strike-fear-into-your-heart creatures:

• The elusive Samantaur, a carnivorous creature whose habits include eating her students and watercoloring (I)
• The colorful-shoed, beard-bearing, Lady Gaga-reminiscent... Nick (TA)

Students were taught how to Parti all the time. All gained an extensive knowledge of YouTube videos. A lecture was usually given in the morning, about history or an era, or technique. Next came studio, which was essentially 6 hours of working with cardboard, paper, and wood. Believe it or not, students actually wanted to keep working past the end. You may not want to use your steel ruler to cut with your x-acto knife, but under no circumstances should you fail to do so. Ever.
