Hampton Avery Architects

Jury duty in Indiana

From left to right: guest jurors John "Jack" Munson, Dave Hampton, Richard Avery, John Isch.

Richard and Dave were pleased to serve as guest jurors for Prof. Dan Woodfin’s Architecture 201 semester review at Ball State University’s College of Architecture and Planning - Richard’s alma mater.

The project was a townhouse in Santa Fe, which was to employ sitecast concrete with CMU infill and stucco finish. The second-year students acquitted themselves nicely for the most part in their presentations, many offering a compelling handling of space and beginning grasp of how to employ sustainable techniques and strategies such as thermal mass to moderate temperature swings and passive cooling through stack effects.

Opting for Jimmy John’s over the falafel sandwich option for lunch in downtown Muncie, had a nice dinner after the review with Prof. Woodfin, his wife, and our fellow jurors: Jack Munson of Richardson Munson and Wier, Indianapolis; and John Isch of RWA Architects, Cincinnati.
