SAFETY TIPS
SURVIVING SPITZER
The CCNY Dept. of Public Safetyprovides 24/7 law enforcement,security, �re safety, and medicalemergency services on campus.
In case of emergency, use theblue light emergency telephonesacross campus. They will connectyou to the Emergency DispatchCenter.
Don’t get distracted whilewalking! Limit phone and deviceusage when traveling.
The Public Safety Departmentis located in Room 4/201 in theNAC.

Plan accordingly. Everything willtake 2-4 times longer than youexpect they will, it’s hard not toescape it.
Record all your work! Take photosof sketch models and �nal modelswhile they’re in progress, andphotograph all �nal work afteryour presentation. You’ll thankyourself when it’s time to create aportfolio. Need help? Ask us!
Always ask for advice. From yourprofessor, a mentor, a friend, aclassmate, anyone! But you don’talways have to follow what othersadvise: Maintain a strong projectobjective and make decisions thatsupport it.
Try explaining your project tosomeone outside of architecture.This will help prepare you forfuture presentations becauseyou have to completely “dumbit down” to a short and conciseexplanation.
Make sure your studio time isultra-productive. You’ll do betterwork faster-then you can go homeearly!
Set aside some time every weekto relax and take a breather fromschool work and studio, especiallyduring midterms and �nals. Welike coffee dates with friends andvisits to our favorite museums.

A LETTER FROMTHE PRESIDENTFirst and foremost, on behalf of AIAS, the student body, and the school as a whole, I’d like to welcome you to Spitzer. Until your time here comes to an end, this will be your second home. Sometimes, it may feel like your �rst. The people that you meet here will begin to feel like family- embrace this and allow yourself to build new relationships based upon the foundations of curiosity and knowledge.
Over the course of your time here, you will learn plenty of things about architecture, but also about the importance of personal growth, self discipline, asking for assistance, and diversity. You will come to understand the world around you a bit more, but also realize how much you have never known. You will learn what it means when people say architecture is a truly interdisciplinary subject, but also realize how much you have left to learn. That is alright.
AIAS, along with other clubs, students, faculty, and administration, is here to help you along the way. We believe in the importance of creating a network of students, emerging professionals, and disciplines related to the �eld of architecture. Allow yourself to become part of this network, and use the resources made available to you whenever necessary.
Value your time, your work, your beliefs, and �nd your own voice in design. Be curious about the world out there and ways to help it, and never forget the importance of sensitivity and integrity in design. Do not be discouraged by the vastness of the issues which we face, but �nd comfort in knowing there are others out there trying to help design a better tomorrow as well. Be willing to listen, to study, to do, to fail, to work, but most importantly, be willing to try.
Architecture is a �eld that bene�ts tremendously from diversity of thought, action, and background. Understand the value of who you are and what you do, but do not ignore the value of those around you. Realize that there is a tremendous amount of knowledge to be had in this world, and it is your responsibility to try and extract as much of it as possible. Remember there is value in all sorts of education, no matter the source.
On behalf of Spitzer, I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a fantastic semester full of curiosity.
Evana SaidAIAS, Chapter President

You’ll need the best software to make your architectural ideas come to life.Here are a couple of programs you should begin to get familiar with:
Rhino 3D + GrasshopperGoogle Sketchup
AutoCADAdobe PhotoshopAdobe IllustratorAdobe Indesign
It’s important to make sure you have the best tools and technology to create your projects. A slow laptop means longer nights and inef�cient work�ow. The IT Deptartment at SSA has recommended laptops with appropriate specs and fair pricing.
