Sunday meet up

After spring beak, we all are all meeting up and diagramming or new schemes based off what was said at midterms. We are now down to three groups. Matt brought brownies for us for lunch, and Prof. Flurry supplied his tasty coffee for anyone who wanted it as well.

We are analyzing paths and the site diagrams. Matt and Will are describing one of the drawing to the class (pictured).

Midterm Review

3/11/2011

Our midterm review of our 6 schemes. Each scheme has a booklet of technical drawings and details created and a board to show our reviewers. Each one also had a structural model and a site scale model of the scheme. Our reviewers gave us a great critique of each design, and some problems that every design was struggling with. Complemented though was that all of our designs were very modular and would be simple to build.

In the pictures are the reviewers listening, and Jibril and Alysa, part of group 2, talking about their scheme.

Saturday

2/5/2011

We created a project description to give to possible sponsors of our project. Each student took pictures and wrote our biographies for a page about each of us.We also all had Chinese for lunch break together. Not as tasty as when Frank Flurry made sausages for us, but still just as enjoyable.


We are meeting with the head of the Farnworth House, Whitney, to present our designs and get critique and overall concerns with the buildings, such as cost, placement, and size.
