During Wednesday’s Rose Café, Noah came to discuss his architectural projects on campus and in Collegetown and Ithaca. He had a slideshow of images of some of his past, present, and future projects, including the new tennis entryway and apartment complexes in Collegetown. The first image he showed us was of the entryway to the tennis courts and how the old entry way did not serve its purpose well. It was amazing to see the before and after pictures of the entry way. It was interesting to see how the same room could look so different. It was also interesting to hear about his thought process. Furthermore, the housing in Collegetown is either the apartments or houses that are for rent. It makes sense that they are planning to replace the houses with new apartment complexes because the apartments could house more people. It was interesting to learn about how he is trying to maximize the space in the apartment complexes. It is fascinating to see what Collegetown could look like in the future. I also did not realize that approval for the buildings can take a long time and some of his projects have been developing for a couple of years. It is important to learn about what is happening to around us because these housing projects may not necessarily affect us now, but they will definitely have an impact on housing in Collegetown in the future.
