Things

This past weekend I picked up a model boat at a flea market, something I had been wanting for awhile. Luckily I happened to find the perfect one. I thought it was funny though because when I was a kid things like this seemed so lame, but now being older I have some sort of appreciation for things like this... I also bought a globe months ago and when I was little I know I hated those things because I thought of school and I didn't like that.

Summer...

Well it's summer now and I'm hoping I can use this break to get some work done that I want to accomplish and one thing I'd like to do is maybe start on some prints that are just graphic and focus a lot on text...


stay tuned.

The Beginning

Spine Wall: A Working Prototype

Austin Loman and I had the privilege of working together on our final studio project, we had been examining our proposal and project through different ways. We ultimately decided from that proposal to strive for something realistically feasible within our studio. So we developed a half wall partition, also known as a spine wall to be placed within the current desks that would allow for uniformity across the years and also utilize the existing power grid and didn't make it such a hazard. So we had various deliverables to help people understand this project such as plans with this piece in use on the third and fourth floor, renderings and we built one module which services two desks. 

A Learning Place: Survey Data + Analysis Information

Finally the last 11x17 was turned in today which looked at earlier research we had all gathered as a studio that focused on different things such as electrical deliveries or lighting but this one focused specifically on the surveys that were recorded.

A Learning Place: Universal Design

A Learning Place: Intellectual Works

The next up in 11x17 deliverables is examining other pieces of work that can somehow be connected to ours, I chose to examine the legendary Dieter Rams. Although our design isn't nearly as great as his, I have always been a true admirer of his work and try to bring some of the fundamentals from his philosophy into my own work.
