Gathering Together

The DD Architect-Engineer Get-together was held at 1PM on Wednesday, April sixteenth. It was held outside, in front of the Green Building. I had invited everyone personally and through email. It became a pot-luck, with everyone bringing a little food or drink.
Wednesday was a beautiful day; warm, clear weather. The event began with just a few people, but as time went on more architects and engineers trickled in. I brought frizbees and a beachball, games were on-going throughout the entire event.
Throwing the frizbee and/or beachball back and forth brought us closer together as a community; enjoying eachother's company instead of only working together. Games brought everyone together. After playing, everyone gravitated towards the food and sat and talked. This was a chance to finally get to know eachother better.

Initially, I had planned for everyone to sign a frizbee, using it like a yearbook, as a memento/art piece commemorating the event and our work together in DD.

Some people, however, became inspired by the idea of creating art. Some created art using the plates, which were transparent, playing with the shadows and reflections. One even made an instrument useing two plates and some cheetos. The group playing with the beachball decided they were performing art, and struck poses.

Overall, the event was a great success. It helped everyone relax and enjoy the wonderful weather and being together outside of DD.
