I haven't written in a long while. It's been a busy, hectic, crazy time.
Project 1 ended well, the jurors enjoyed the project, it was a simple, geometric, grand design. And I accidentally printed 6 identical model shots for the final... didn't notice until Hana pointed it out during my presentation.
Currently holding a B grade for Design II.
Yes, everyone, I'm not a perfect student. But design-wise, my designing process was much smoother without drama or any depression-causing humans to distract me from my goal.
Another interesting thing is that post-midterm the Dean and David Diamond, plus other faculty, came down to the studio to tell us about the Summer programs.
But that's not the important part, the dean was passing by my drawings with the chairperson Altwicker, and offered a compliment. I hadn't heard the first time so I asked if she could repeat it, this led to her offering model advice, as she'd enjoyed the plans but hated the model. Diamond had pointed out that part of my project seemed Le-Corbusier-esque.
It was nice receiving a compliment from someone I both hate and respect simultaneously.
Eventually I will muster the courage to ask if he would mentor me as our designing processes seem to have clashed in the past.
Anyway, Project 2 we had the Zaha Hadid - Vitra Fire Station as our Precedent Study. This project was a 7 day project, although my partner and I only spent a mere 5 days working on drawings and a model. He was in charge of the model, but we both pitched in where we could with the others work.
During our final presentation today, we were the only group to offer a plethora of knowledge about our project. Sadly our axonometric drawings weren't up to par.
The previous post that shows a joke render was almost used at the final, but superman was removed. Professor Kropac still enjoyed the elevation drawing regardless.
After Spring Break (March 14-21) we're going straight into Project 3 for 6 weeks until the end of the semester.
Drawings and pictures will be posted later.
