PennDesign IDEA Days - High Performance Vaults

On Friday and Saturday, my group (the best group!) built three high performance vaulted structures under the guidance of Jonathan Dessi Olive (700 PennDesign student), Erik Leach (600 PennDesign Student) and the wonderful Franca Trubiano. There were two teams involved, PennDesign students and high school students from CHAD, an architecture focused charter school in Philadelphia. Together, we learnt how to build the vaults using thin bricks and gypsum. It was an amazing experience, the high school students were extremely focused and motivated and we were able to complete our task succesfully! Enjoy the pictures below.
