Barnsworth Studio- Fall Semester

First thing we started was to deal with the site, the only thing  We have spent the week working with the ideas of different concepts as to what to do. Professor Flury is back from his trip, and we are going to the Fransworth house this Friday.


New crew of Fall semester, with 4 people returning from the last two semesters.

Summer- Final

We presented two final schemes. One was a twelve sided, one ten sided. The client prefers the simpler design of the ten sided, and we added movable storage for the chairs. We did a final packet and got the permit document information, and set up for next semester.

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.
