Here's where we are with the desk. It's Monday morning and the files need to go to the laser cutter by tomorrow at noon. The major change to the design has been the removal of side panels and beefing up of the lower right support panel. We're meeting with the CIT shop manager to discuss fasteners later today.
The pattern is meh. We're going with a "key" pattern after the shelter's Logo. The screen portion of the desk that separates the user from the public bookshelf will begin at the bottom as abstract geometric shapes and then work it's way up to a finish key design. This signifies the idea of a transitional house environment where the formerly homeless are provided with a key to their own room for the first time; the establishment of a new life starts with a key. There isn't enough time to figure out the crane pattern and how much stability it will cost the desk. I'm not into the keys, I think it's too literal a reminder of the logo. C'est la vie.
Shhhh....I'm still holding out for the crane.
