You find this as being your home. We live here. Everything but our clothes, our beds and our showers is here." When asked about how many hours he spent each week during project time, Piatt responded, “How many hours are in a week?" At first, you assume he’s jok ing, but then you return to the tight space at almost any hour, and he’s still there, focused on the work before him. And it’s the same for all of them. They should really consider having their mail sent there. "After a while, all the morn ings just start to blend into one," Piatt said. “Sometimes, if you’re tired enough, you’ll just crawl under your desk and take a nap. I’ll throw down a pillow and usually tell someone to just wake me up in a half an hour. There was a week last semester where I had four all-nighters in a row." Martinez said it could be dif ficult to find time to take breaks. “Usually you have to move your car at seven because we all park around here (in the metered spaces), so like seven to eight is our hour break,” she said. “We go brush our teeth and wash our faces, take a shower, whatever, move our cars and then come back. That’s usually how it works. “It's so funny because we’re usually here before the profes sors and they're like ‘Good morning,’ and you’re like ‘Uugggfrhhh.’" Said Piatt: “Every couple of hours someone will shout out ‘U-Stop’ and everyone grabs their big cups, piles in a car, goes and comes back to chat for a couple of minutes; then it’s back to studio." Price said he usually tried to go home and take a shower before class, which starts every - day at about 8:30 a.m. “Last semester, I had five hours of sleep in five days,” he said. “Most of the time I go back to my room for just a couple of hours to shower up, so I don't feel so dirty. I brought my pillow "You can't procrastinate. There are steps. We're continuously having critiques and stuff due. This week you have to get that done, and next week you have to get this done. You have research to do as well. " ' Melissa Martinez UNL architecture student tonight (Monday), so I can take a nap. Take a power nap, and you’ll feel good.” All the students say there isn’t a way around all the work and sleepless hours if you want to succeed, especially in the case of assignments that don’t have concrete solutions. Students could work on these projects forever. "You can’t procrastinate,” Martinez said. "There are steps. We’re continuously having cri tiques and stuff due. This week you have to get that done, and next week you have to get this done. You have research to do as well. “You can never be finished with a project. And we’ve been taught that nobody is ever com pletely done designing a build • _ ft mg. Piatt said the design process went on until the last second and that sometimes you just had to stop working and turn the project in. Then the students have pro fessors critique their projects, and these critiques can be dis heartening to a student who hasn’t sleep for two days. Said Piatt: “The professors are nice when they come talk to you, but some professors don’t want to give you a compliment because they don’t want you to think your project’s perfect. They’re always going to tell you something is wrong. Once in a great while they might say ‘that works, that's nice,' but usually they're like ‘that doesn’t work, that doesn't work, etc.’ It’s not to put us down, it’s just to make us work harder.” Martinez said at times the professors' comments could be hard to swallow. She had a pro fessor whose comments were very stem, but in looking back at the situation, she was proud of the experience. “I cried every single day before coming to class for two weeks straight,” she said. “I would walk across campus with tears coming down my eyes, but now I look back and I think, ‘Oh my God, I love that guy.'” Piatt said during the semes ter you almost hate professors because they kept putting you down. “You're working your butt off, and all of a sudden he tells you that’s crap, but in the end, he’s just doing it for your own benefit,” he said. "The professor is acting like a client You have to please the professor just as you would have to please someone in the future.” Currently the third-year stu dents are working on a hypo thetical version of the Antelope Valley Project. The project will introduce dense housing along 18th Street to re-energize the area so people can move into the downtown area, bringing business back to the neighbor hood. In wrapping up an interview that took place around 1 a.m., Piatt said he knew a guy whose roommates paid his month’s rent because he was never there. It doesn't seem like a bad proposition for the students, does it? If you spent week after week working on drawings and making them into models in a tight community where you either fit in and rough it or you’re out, you would probably call these confinements your home and the people within them your family as well. Free rent would be a nice reward.
