This summer PLOT Studio's TJ Marston worked with incoming students in FIU's Landscape Architecture and Interior Design programs. She taught both Visual Notations and Design Foundations Studio, each an intensive 6 week foundation course where students developed critical toolsets in graphics and the design process. 

Student models from Design Foundations explore ways to measure and understand dynamic phenomenal processes which transform space (evaporation, heat, movement, growth, erosion, noise, etc). They used their in-depth studies to explore design interventions which catalyze those dynamic processes and ​allow for adaptive solutions to design problems.

TJ Marston, Founder at PLOT Studio, was selected as a finalist for this years 2018 LAF Fellowship for Innovation and Leadership for her proposal exploring gender equity in the profession of landscape architecture.  

If you are looking for a reason to be in Miami Beach tonight, the DRAW Exhibition (curated work from TJ Marston's Visual Notation Course @ FIU) will be having a closing reception from 6-7:30pm @ FIU's MBus Studio Design Gallery. Stop in, hang out and enjoy some food and refreshments while looking at great FIU student work!
