Life in the studio

This body of work explores the daily life of several First-year architecture students at the University of Memphis.

These students spent many sleepless nights in the studio completing projects for class, and I hope the images serve as an interesting document of that hard work and dedication.

All of the students are close like a tight knit family due to the amount of time they spend together in the studio. They practically eat, sleep, and work together every day, with the occasional fast food run at three in the morning.

Most of these students rarely see their dorm rooms. If they do it’s a short visit: a quick shower, a change of clothes, then back to the studio.

Many of them have stayed up days at a time, completing wood models and floor plans. This photo essay captures the hectic life of first-year architecture students.
