ACT (Art, Culture & Technology) TA Training
Val Grimm, Academic Assistant
Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 12/17
Limited to 12 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
This workshop is designed to simulate an ACT class. Most ACT classes have a hands-on component and involve the exhibition of work. TA administrative tasks include marketing, budget management, and facilitating approvals. The hands-on and administrative elements are incorporated into the workshop. Emulating the structure and requirements of a course allows facilitators to introduce prospective TAs to the flow and needs of courses, identify potential issues, and discuss methods and resources for addressing issues.

This class will explore issues of spatial representation. Students will start with the basics of drawing and mark-making through the sketching of simple objects and, through a series of workshops, establish different means and media to represent spaces in ways that go beyond literal representation.
The class will be structured around a series of workshops that will introduce different techniques, e.g. perspectival drawings, the process of collage, and crafting, to produce Three-Dimensional drawings. The goal of the course is to offer participants both technical and non-technical approaches techniques for producing spatial hybrid drawings. At its core, this class is about the joy of drawing and visual expressions.
Students may choose to explore the various drawing techniques or to become an expert on one of them.
Day 1 - Class Preview: Introduction to 3D drawings and class exercise
Day 2 - Workshop 1 - Contour Line & Blind Contour Drawings; individual tutorials
Day 3 - Workshop 2 - Collage & Alternative Materials: individual tutorials
Day 4 - Workshop 3 - Stitching, Printing, and Gilding: individual tutorials

This course will reveal a fascinating alternative career path available to those with an interest in architecture, building-related engineering, real estate development or construction. If a far more comprehensive role in the process of bringing buildings to life interests you, one that is exciting, rewarding, demanding and crucial to a building project's success, please join us.
Part One
Analysis of the key aspects of the roles of architect, owner and contractor in the planning, design and construction processes. Exploration of the interplay of forces in the quality/schedule/budget triangle highlighting elements crucial to produce successful projects. Introduction to development management, with a focus on sustainability, from the owner's perspective.
Part Two
Case studies of projects ranging from the mixed-use development of Rowes Wharf, to projects developed on the campuses of non-profit institutions including arts centers, technology buildings, science labs, and the first building built on the Rose Kennedy Greenway demonstrating principles of successful project management.
Instructor holds BSAD and MArch degrees from MIT, is a registered architect and a 25 year veteran of this profession.
