Landau Gallery Highlights Advanced Engineering and Design

Landau Gallery Highlights Advanced Engineering and Design

Creations from the ancient tradition of blacksmithing can be found in the Landau Gallery next to pieces made from the most cutting edge technologies, all thanks to an exhibition of work from the students in Advanced Engineering and Design, an Upper School Art and Science elective class. 

In its first year running, the Advanced Engineering and Design course combines the active, hands-on approach of an art class with a deeper look at the principles of mechanical engineering, material science, and advanced rapid prototyping skills, such as 3D modeling and 3D printing, to empower students to express their creativity in new ways. Through the semester-long course, students utilized the array of technology in the Bolles Makerspace and, thanks to a field trip to the Prospect Hill Forge in Waltham, coal fire blacksmith forges. Regardless of the type of technology used, this year's students created work with an eye for artistry and functionality. 

The gallery exhibition and photos below feature the work of the following students: 

Jayden Chen ’26
Boston Ezedi ’26
Brody Lindstrom-Chalpin ’26
Andrew Lyon ’26
Jake Ma ’27
William Sandor ’27

The exhibit will be open in the Landau Gallery for the entire Belmont Hill community to enjoy through March 13, 2026.

When Belmont Hill faculty members take advantage of the teaching sabbaticals offered after ten years of service, some use the time away from the classroom to travel, work towards advanced degrees, or even enjoy a well earned opportunity to relax. Director of Instrumental Music Dan Fiori took a different approach in 2023 and spent the year immersed in the composing and recording of his debut jazz fusion album Undertow. The record, which was released in May and is available digitally and on vinyl, demonstrates the vast breadth of Mr. Fiori’s musical influences and the level of talent guiding Belmont Hill musicians on their own creative journeys.

Maine Coast ‘26: A Culminating Experience in the Woodshop and on the River

This spring, Belmont Hill senior Fitz Courtney ‘26 found himself submerged in the Sheepscot River in Boothbay, Maine, much to his classmates' amusement. “We were kind of all joking around that someone on this trip was going to fall in, and everyone thought it would be me,” explained his classmate Cam Kelley ‘26. “It was pretty funny to see that Fitz had fallen in the water.”
