The End of Dead Week
The last week of classes at Cal Poly is traditionally called "Dead Week" in the College of Architecture, for reasons which seem to be lost to antiquity. Anyway, the last day of Dead Week is when all the studio crits are held. Noel came down Thursday night so he could see my presentation. And now you get to see it (well, the pictures from it, at least), too. But first, some scene setting....
This is set up in the stairwell of the damned Architecture Building. It moves in the constant breeze, which is lovely and ethereal, in stark contrast to the Brutalism of the building.
One fifth-year student's setup in the Gallery. He had complex models
... and used a projector to show a flythrough of his design. My only criticism is that the two settings were facing one another, so you had to constantly turn your head back and forth to get your bearings.
Now, back to my studio. This is what we had to work with: a projector, a screen, our photos up there and our ability to make a presentation. Here's my classmate Steph presenting her sandwich shop/living space.
We had a pretty decent audience of primarily 2nd year students.
Now, my space (as you've all been holding your breath anxiously):
The shop from the parking lot nearby:
The studio space, looking forward to the shop and the back of the alley:
The view from the shop into the shared garden, framing the view with books and walls:
The built-in bookcases on the stairs:
The kitchen (no overhead cupboards):
Two dining areas: formal and casual:
A simple, bare living room:
The view back from the living room:
The view back from the bedroom:
The bedroom is surrounded by frosted glass to make it very light and bright in the morning:
The nautilus shower doesn't need a shower curtain:
The presentation went well. My teacher had some very good, pointed criticisms of my visual aids (very helpful). I was one of the students he asked to give him a reference copy of my presentation to be kept as a record of work by the college. That's a huge honour. I was very happy.
Rosie was also very happy, because we got home from school at about 4 and immediately went to the BEACH for RUNNING and PLAYING. That is what a dog likes best.
