Not in a million years would my 18 yr old self with a 1.2 high school GPA would have imagined that he would be attending USC for a Masters with a merit scholarship that covers 75% tuition, the most the school of Architecture gives out. This is truly validating!

USC School of Architecture | Arch 581 | Spring 26 | S. Mitchell

We were tasked with creating a 3D object that a KUKA robot could trace using a light attached to its end. I chose to revisit my undergraduate Studio 1A project, Folded Light.

Folded Light emerges from the intersection of two earlier studies: Fractured Light, a gem-like mass, and Spilled Light, a mass defined by cylindrical voids. Fractured Light’s faceted geometry refracts light into varying shades of black, while Spilled Light does not fracture light but instead diffuses it across its cylindrical voids.

I wanted to bring this project full circle by translating it into a drawing made of light.

Why do we call it architorture when our passion for architecture is what keeps us going through it? Or is this just masochism disguised as dedication?

One thing I like to do when I go backpacking is take a bare photo, and since I haven’t backpacked in a while, I took one on today’s hike.

Man, what a freaking semester — and it’s not even over yet. One more week to go. Getting back into an academic groove at 38 has been rough. I struggled so much with the first two studio assignments that I honestly questioned why I even came back to school. Being socially awkward, having social anxiety, and the huge age gap with my classmates definitely didn’t help.

And then there’s the pressure of the scholarship — feeling like I have to live up to it and wondering if I even deserve it. Will I be back next semester? Who knows. For now, we #FightOn.

I’ve wanted an M.Arch for so long that I’ll probably end up coming back anyway (99% sure I’m coming back). I’m pretty sure a lot of this is just my ADHD doing its thing — the self-doubt, the emotional rollercoaster, all of it. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk on living with ADHD!

Had the opportunity to listen to Thom Mayne, visit his studio with his personal archive and lucky enough to get my book signed by him.

Listening to him talk out a smile on my face.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
