Home Sweet Princeton: Day 28: Architecture and Respect
http://homesweetprinceton.blogspot.com/2010/01/day-28-architecture-and-respect.html
Waqas Jawaid at Princeton University. 19 February, 2010. Day 28: Architecture and Respect. This entry was originally posted to my newest blog,. 100 Days of Thesis . That blog is currently restricted, mostly because the content on it is quite bad. This writing, too, is full of errors. It is a stream-of-consciousness analysis/rant about one of the films I am analyzing for my thesis. What’s with the Bills? The name Bill. You always use weird names. A recent U.S president was called Bill. I didn’t know.

Home Sweet Princeton: June 2010
http://homesweetprinceton.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Waqas Jawaid at Princeton University. 12 June, 2010. Princeton does not train you to be any one thing. At Princeton you learn to learn, and to be really good at whatever you decide to do. If I had one word to summarize my Princeton education, it would be demystification. Trimmed grass and paved pathways. Now it was time to leave. There was no moment of epiphany. There was no transcendental feeling of elation. Was this the beginning of a new era in my life? I was supposed to leave Princeton the morning af...

Home Sweet Princeton: This Summer: Jerusalem and Tel Aviv

Waqas Jawaid at Princeton University. 20 May, 2010. This Summer: Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Today I got an email informing me that my application for the Shellman Prize at Princeton's School of Architecture was successful. That means I get funding to work on another drawing project this summer! I was not expecting this because I won the same prize last year. Here's my project proposal:. Proposal for the Shellman Travel Fund. Three motivations undergird this drawing project:. WOW Traveling to Israel, experie...

Home Sweet Princeton
http://homesweetprinceton.blogspot.com/2010/03/in-order-to-not-work-on-my-thesis-i-am.html
Waqas Jawaid at Princeton University. 10 March, 2010. I love Richter's recent work. I wanted to make political paintings about nation building and boundaries. The two paintings, 1947. Are representations of abstract painting. They draw a link between mid-twentieth century production of painting, cartography (the drawing of maps), and the founding of new countries. 1947 60"x80" Oil on canvas. 1948 60"x80" Oil on canvas.

Home Sweet Princeton: Richard Neutra Built in Pakistan!
http://homesweetprinceton.blogspot.com/2010/03/richard-neutra-built-in-pakistan.html
Waqas Jawaid at Princeton University. 17 March, 2010. Richard Neutra Built in Pakistan! My thesis has been an incredible journey. Though I am far from the required page count or the cohesion that my thesis adviser expects, I am making some new discoveries, some of them completely unrelated to my topic. One such tangent led me from Jeff Kipnis to Sylvia Lavin, and in her book I found out this: Richard Neutra, one of Modernism's greatest architects, built at least two buildings in Pakistan!

Home Sweet Princeton: Architecture and War
http://homesweetprinceton.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-am-from-pakistan-and-i-am-not.html
Waqas Jawaid at Princeton University. 07 May, 2010. So obviously it is difficult for an architect to see destruction. The recent images from Haiti are an example. The entire built environment collapsed. Images of the decimated parliament building symbolized a crushed and broken country. But I slept at night knowing that Haiti was a natural disaster. We can learn from Haiti to prevent that kind of massive damage in the future. No, I can’t. So I look for an explanation. That is what is lacking in the real ...

Home Sweet Princeton: The Last Day of 2009
http://homesweetprinceton.blogspot.com/2010/01/last-day-of-2009.html
Waqas Jawaid at Princeton University. 21 January, 2010. The Last Day of 2009. It was the last day of 2009 that I would spend in Princeton. School had ended and most people had left. And then it snowed a lot. Late at night that day, I finally finished all my grad school applications and stepped out of the Architecture building. The world had transformed. A thick blanket of snow covered everything. The steps of Frist were no longer visible at all. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Paris to Delhi 2008.
