My name is Nathan Melenbrink and I was interviewed by Mika Maloney for an article in Friday’s special section. Upon reading the article, my colleagues and I felt that it placed too much emphasis on my accomplishments without crediting others.
I would also like to clarify that I thought Mika did a great job with the article; it is my fault for not being clearer with my responses. I would greatly appreciate it if you could include this small edit in the opinions column.
The article on scripting in architecture should have also credited the efforts of a number of individuals. The success of the Cowgill Hall lobby exhibition was completely contingent upon collaboration with
Caroline Smith and Jeff Stolz, both of whom have made outstanding contributions to the development of digital design culture at Virginia Tech, as well as the assistance of many others.
There is a well-established tradition of students teaching students; our accomplishments are largely a result of the instruction that we have received from others.
