Almost there...

So it’s crunch time once again.  Thanksgiving break was much needed, but now its time to get back into the normal grind of things.  I have exactly one week to prepare for final review.  Our final critique is next Monday, December 5th.  Wow, it’s odd to even type that… hard to believe that December is already here.

I’d have to say without a doubt the highlight of break has been getting to spend some time with Will.  It was nice to be able to get my mind off school and my grandma… and on something that’s making me smile.  I feel like every second we have together we’re getting closer – and there’s not a second that goes by that some thought of him doesn’t pop in my head.  

I must focus though… haha!  I suppose it’s good that we aren’t that close to one another right now… just makes me miss him like crazy.

Just to give you an idea… here is what’s due for studio on Monday:

1. Floor plans – each main floor


2. Building elevations – minimum of 4.  Show shadow projections and materials.


3. Building sections – minimum of 2.


4. Building model – chipboard or similar @ 1/8”=1’-0”


5. Site and context plan (as large as possible)


6. Site and context sections (2)


7. Building perspectives (minimum of 3 – as see in its setting from the main approach and other key vantage points)


8. Detail elevation of typical bay @ ½” – 1’-0”


9. Matching detail constructional section through typical bay at ½” = 1’-0”


10. Site model


11. Introductory boards explaining premise, site, and program analysis w/ well documented precedent research.

I’m going to go scream now… bye bye!!!
