Blogs & Drawings
Each week we are required to post one blog, and one drawing.

Mass Manufacturing
The class divided into assembly teams in the wood shop. The end goal, between the morning and afternoon studios, was to attach a hollow core door to a base with a trim on a dolly, to support parametric sculptures to be used over and over again. This process took about three weeks, about two weeks longer than it should have.

Climate Panels
After all of the doors were assembled, the class paired up to tackle the next project. The class analyzed data from 1980 to 2013. My team, Alpha, Panel 1, had the years 1980, 2007, 1970, and 2006. We looked at the highs and the lows of 4 evenly spaced times of the year. We then applied the climate data to a parametric curved surface.

Villa Rotunda & Townhouse
Next project, was to design a Villa Rotunda out by Mesina Hof in Bryan, and a Townhouse downtown Bryan by forming a firm of four. We were forced to merge our two person panel team with another team. Our communication has been sub par, and I am concerned for the continuity in the designs of our firm. We also have to build a massing model of each of these.

Construction Model
I have not even started this. I feel like drowning when I think about it too.

Essay
I am required to write an essay on Palladian architecture.
Fortunately, back when I was a sophomore, and in honors, I wrote an essay on this topic. Hopefully I can recover it in time, and just have it revised at the campus writing center. If not, please pray for me.
