Once we had finished all of the compiling, cleaning and preparation we all went out to the terrace to eat some snacks that Lisa brought in before gathering for our final review. Everyone’s projects were pretty interesting and it was especially cool since they were all quite different. I thought our review went pretty well and it was pretty cool to get the opinions of Francesco and another juror as well as Lisa and Beatrice. They talked a lot about the decisions we made and the various impacts they had, and they seemed to appreciate the amount of work we put into it. I like to think that when they have a ton to say (good or bad) that means that the project was a success since it spurs some reaction or inspiration in the people looking at it, and I think that is the whole point of architecture. After a miserable five hours of sitting in a sauna-like room we were finally free and officially done with any academic activity for this quarter.
We basically sprinted out of there (34 hours awake and counting made being there the least appealing activity possible) and came home to shower and finally eat some food. After snacking for a little bit I decided that one final kebab would be a fitting reward for surviving the all-nighter, so I walked to get that. The food finally made my body realize how tired I was so after struggling to keep my eyes open long enough to hang my clothes up after washing them, I laid in bed and fell asleep without even turning the light off.
