Day 200! (& 201)

I celebrated Day 200 by completely ignoring the mountain of mid-term studio work due this coming Thursday. Between the 5-mile run courtesy of a 6am RedBull, sangria/popover brunch and a stroll in the woods with Teddy, the day was superb. Happy 1/5th of the way through grad school!

And on Day 201, back to the grind. In-progress floor plans and section sketches for the dorms.









List of deliverables for Thursday:

1. 3 Floor Plans & 1 Section
2. Materials Board
3. 1/16" Model on top of Topographic Model
4. 1/8" take-apart Model
5. Research / path patterns / density metrics
6. Sketch-Up pulled perspectives, try watercolor?

Here's the way a list like this works:

1. You have a project due in less than a week.
2. You make a wish list of deliverables for crit day.
3. You work really hard every day until the crit.
4. Slowly, nonessential deliverables are cut in favor of delivering SOMETHING COMPLETED.
5. You go into crit obsessing about all the other visuals that would have made the project SHINE.
6. Crit happens.
7. You leave crit realizing a spread of eye candy doesn't really matter if the concept is sloppy and poorly interpreted spatially.
8. Repeat.

And Happy Birthday to Teddy, who makes me smile.
