333 is an intensive architecture design studio that brings leaders in the field to work with students in a laboratory–like environment at CCA. 333 emphasizes exploration and innovation with cutting–edge methods, materials and technology. 333 capitalizes on the rich geographical, social and cultural features of the San Francisco Bay Area as resources and catalysts for experiments in architecture and urban design. The model shop will be available to students Monday–Thursday, 1–8:30 p.m.

This course satisfies 3 units of Advanced studio or a studio elective.

Rhett Russo

Rhett is an Associate Professor at NJIT, Curriculum Coordinator of the Graduate Architecture programme, and principal of Specific Objects Inc. Rhett’s work is inspired by the transmissive capacities of matter and the ecologies of form that are part of the natural world. This approach parallels his interest in alternative modes of craft and its role in the development of complexity within the discipline of architecture. Rhett has received numerous awards including the SOM Fellowship, the Van Alen Institute Dinkeloo Fellow at The American Academy in Rome, and the Young Architect’s Award from the Architectural League of New York. In 2009 he was awarded a research residency at the European Ceramic Workcenter. His work and writing have been published in: Second Nature; Meander - Variegating Architecture; Matter - Material Processes in Architectural Production; 306090; and, Metropolis magazine. Rhett was one of five invited architects and designers chosen from the United States to represent the East Coast in the 2010 Beijing Biennale. In 2011, Specific Objects participated in the Suzhou Fast Forward exhibition and the smart textiles exhibition Ambience 11 in Boras, Sweden.
