Moments and Thoughts

Since Midterms it's been a fun couple weeks. I got on a plane promptly after midterms and headed home for a wonderful visit with Ian and my wonderful mother =) Then it was time to go back to the drawing or draughtboards and take all the advice i got and come up with a brand new plan! Of course i made time for a music festival on campus that was run completely by bike generated energy. Lots of fun i have a few new bands and one not so favorite, they stripped while singing...not as much fun as it sounds. Then it was back to Studio to come up with a full site model at 16th scale 1'' =16'. I had way too much fun playing with sculpey clay! An overlay of designs after midterm changes, gotta love trace and markers! The three new and improved plans, one teacher said "put your trees in lines" hahaha i think i over did it in the one on the right ;) Music Festival time! Katherine and I at the first few bands of the evening Adeline and I Adeline and I smooshed in the crow...

A quick compilation of some of the flowering plants i've learned this spring and a few of the cool colored foliage. (i'll come back in and label each this weekend!)

Hi all! This term started out strong and has waned to a nice pace. In studio we have a visiting young professor and a real site with a semi real client! We are redesigning the landscape around St Vincent de Paul's First Family Center. It's a place for families in transition to come during the day as well as a preschool. I have gone down the rabbit hole of creating an "Edible Edge". I'm working on creating a welcoming environment as well as a food providing fun place to be. To really get an idea here is the Bing map, click on ariel view and zoom in to the push pin, that's the actual site: http://www.bing.com/maps/Default.aspx?encType=1&v=2&ss=ypid.YN722x12549772&style=r&mkt=en-us&FORM=LLDP Tentative Plan view of the site Tiered planting of veggies and rows of corn, fruit trees with a raised walk way near by. Also the green rectangle is a grape covered trellis in the preschool playground! The following is a rough sketch of the entrance: Ian...

The Start of Winter Term =) Trying to diagram the site in mixed media in an abstract form. We are designing the area around a Family center for homeless families. The new desk set up, family, schedual and site. First Weeks project! Spring break project, turning ian's bike into a hotter ride :) Model from Winter Terms final project, detailed picture of the wisteria A view with fellow classmate Jacob slaving away in the background Night time shot of the model!
