1st week back

So I have found it very difficult to get back into the swing of things after last week. I also have been spending time putting together a survey and cover letter that I am going to be using for my research paper for H&T. I finally got to do some sketching on Tuesday night and last night. I am posting three pages of sketches that sum up where I am headed after those 2 nights of sketching. I may try to turn to clay like Matt after Ted's comment of start with a box and carve away. I will see though. I at least feel confident now in the direction I need to head.



This sketch demonstrates the density levels I want to pursue both in the walls and the floor systems.



I studied the different paths one might take in turning the corner and these are all the possible paths combined into one sketch. I will decide which one to follow in the next step. Of course my main goal right now is to try to figure out how to create opposing paths without creating a "wall" for the pedestrian traveling in the opposing direction.


This page shows a combination of the issues that have come up with the sketching I have done this week. I will need to pursue how to demonstrate the density levels and a way to avoid presenting a "wall" to the pedestrian.

Home

So I know a few of you were worried about me going home last night but I finally made it out around 12:30 and got Kara to the airport and then got on my way around 1:30 and I finally got home just before 5:00. So, safe and sound. I hope every one's trip back was good and that you are enjoying the time with your families.
