Members of CPP-NOMAS (National Organization of Minority Architecture Students) are volunteering for a summer bootcamp introducing young people to architecture. Organized annually by the Southern California chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects, it serves 200-300 every cycle.
CPP-NOMAS volunteers spent most of winter break to help plan the program, said fifth-year student and chapter president Henry Chu. The team is focused on four goals: recruiting campers; sponsorship; plan workshops and activities; and camp restocking efforts.

RISING STAR | Michelangelo Barbic ('21, visual communication design) is the recipient of the 2021 Graphis Platinum Award, the world's highest recognition for design, advertising, photography and video/film. Barbic was among 20 recipients of the platinum honor awarded to students whose professors drove them to create highly professional works. View his award-winning entry here.
The animation was an assignment for lecturer Justin Abadilla's ('11, graphic design) Fall 2020 class. The original project prompt was to demonstrate the 12 principles of animation proposed by Disney animators Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas in an animated video. Barbic indicated each numbered principle with an accompanying animation.
Why robots? "I wanted to make something that was sci-fi inspired and friendly," he said. "A lot of the work I do is inspired by science fiction and industrial design, these are the kind of the things I'm into. The choice to make the design of the robots seem quirky and fun was from me wanting to have this video to serve as educational material, so ages were kept in mind."
Abadilla, Barbic's Graphis Award nominator, predicts a bright future: "Michelangelo's savviness for our profession's most technical applications paired with a unique approach to problem-solving with a 3D mindset is a rare and formidable combination. With an acute artistic vision working in tandem with the experience and knowledge of what it takes to fully realize those concepts, I have no doubt that Michelangelo is on a trajectory to become one of visual communication's rising stars."
