Midterm - summer

We presented 4 different schemes; facade based scheme, concentric circles, and 2 egg shaped schemes. We had a really good review, and our reviewers enjoyed arts of every project, but also said there was room for improvement within each project as well. We are now as a class starting over with the structure worked on by all, starting with a circle, but trying to put some direction as well into the building. The idea is then incorporate the parts of each project we liked into the building as we design it from the structure forward. Afterward we had a barbecue to celebrate the end of midterms and the hard work we had achieved up to that point. We are now down to the last 3 weeks to create permit drawings by July 29th.
