Hollywood Debut

Look out Pixar here we come!  April and her fiance Jason put together this great movie showing how our structure can easily relocate to a new location if need be.  

Perhaps better known as 'Design for Deconstruction' this short animation shows how we've taken that to the extreme.  

Thanks for the awesome work guys.

Latin Day

Jessie decided to 'spice things up in studio last friday and make it a latin day theme.  She made (yes made) a pinata and the whole studio went outside to give it a whack.  We got some interesting looks.  I think they were just waiting for the candy to come out.  

FULL SCALE MOCK UP

Well we wanted to see how this thing would look, not just some little model but the real thing.  A good team effort and some creative thinking lead to a great model and and some valuable learning.  

In other news, our review is tomorrow.  Please come by and check out the project and enjoy some breakfast.  8:30 in Lawrence Hall, room 206.  

Enjoy the photos . . .

Final Review Quickly Approaches

Hi all,

We've been  working hard all term and the time for our final review is now at hand.  For those of you who don't know, all of the architecture studios have a final review where we present our work to students and faculty for them to critique.  

We will be presenting our work on THURSDAY, MARCH 14 from 8:30 - 12:30 IN LAWRENCE HALL RM. 206.  

Please come and join us.  We'll have coffee and food and would love to show you what we've been up to.  

See you there,

Team Green Wheel

Green Wheels Keep On Turning..

Happy Monday all,

We had quite a constructive weekend (pun intended for April):

Saturday evening Sylvan brought some materials over to the model shop to construct a mock-up of what the benches might look like. The team experimented with three different options for a corner detail including rounded, ninety degree, and forty-five degree cuts. A variety of angle iron and metal trims were applied to the surfaces of the bench to enhance functionality as well as contribute to its overall aesthetics. The final task will be treating the wood, which will occur later this week. (Pictures to follow)


Today in studio the team was presented with a 98.2% completed Construction Document set that Sylvan had compiled and annotated. The drawings are looking sharp and the effort is really showing. There are a few more red-lined items to take care of before the set is submitted to the city for permitting at the end of the week.

The "final push to permitting" continues... stay strong dB'ers.

Cheers.
