Welcome to the altbods blog

We use this blog as a resource to discuss the notion of "alternative bodies" in the marketplace and how to design for them/for us. We critique Euro-centric ideology pressed into design and research methods to make room for "alternative bodies" as the focus of artistic creation.

This blog represents the thoughts and art work of our studio class -- by students in architecture, design, illustration, sculpture, graphic and visual arts. We are a hybrid group with many talents.

By the way, in light of some of your concerns, tomorrow's lecture is entitled: Connecting Design to Advocacy and Educational Awareness: An Alternative to Being Super Radical

One student asked me this question, so I am answering en masse: yes, we will be dedicating more time to working on our projects in studio after Spring Break.  

EVERYONE WHO HASN'T BLOGGED: You Must Blog Regularly or receive a zero. Get to it! 

my best, Dr. T.
