As I've mentioned before they're keeping us busy in the Architectural Program here and I apologize for the inconsistency between my posts - I update them as often as I can. It has been brought to my attention that the date stamp on all my posts is the same; I hope I've got it fixed now but I can't change any of my previous dates (and I don't know when I posted them anyway) so hopefully that isn't a problem for anyone.
Now that we have that taken care of here are some of the pictures I promised you a few weeks ago:
For anyone curious as to what I'm working on: I sketched a freehand floor plan, two section cuts, and a perspective the first two weeks, and this week (and next week) I'm working on drafting the floor plan, two section cuts, and an oblique view and I'm building a space-volume model of the interior of Danforth Chapel. For anyone wondering a space-volume model is a model of the interior space of the chapel - it was described by the teachers like this: if you filled the inside of the chapel with chocolate (or jello) and let it set up then stripped away the walls, ceiling, and floor the form you'd be left with is the space-volume mold. We do this type of model because the focus of the program in the first year is more on the space created by the architecture than the building itself. All of this is due on Sunday, Sept. 19 so I probably won't be posting until at least then - heck I'll be lucky to sleep until then!
Hopefully for one of my next posts I'll have some pictures of Danforth Chapel and also some of my work. Cross your fingers but I wouldn't recommend holding your breath (that might not turn out well) and thanks for reading!
Until next time,
Brad
Now that we have that taken care of here are some of the pictures I promised you a few weeks ago:
My bed, desk and closet (if you can call it that)
A little better view of my closet.
This is my comfy corner (not that I get to spend much time here),
it's good for kicking back and reading a good book.
Here's my desk where I get to work every once in awhile - normally I work in studio
Calvin & Hobbes is nice to keep around for a liitle light reading and humor.
The view out my dorm window - I'm on the forth floor.
