After the crit with Professor Volchansky, she gave us a different way of seeing our kiosk: a more accurate depiction of minimalism. Because of this we are killing off the TV's and agree that another set of pillars where the clear wall would be doesn't have to be necessary.. but the ceiling has to stay in place too! We wrestled with the idea of cutting actual glass, and somehow fibbing with thin plexi glass, but thanks to Richard, we got a nice quarter inch thick plexi glass cut for us in no time. He then took apart our original wooden model and put it all back together again. I have it home with me now and I have been sanding, cleaning, and caulking in, so it looks a little more polished now. Alicia is working on the plans, and I'll be working on a 3rd little study model representing our current final model (this one), and cutting the plexi for the larger display. Richard is getting the clear sheets of paper printed. Yao had his hardwork chucked, taken apart, and painted on, but his postcards look great and we look forward to the packaging.
We are narrowing down our concept and considering the concept of "1", since there is one object in the space, one skylight window, one shadow it creates, a oneness to this space. If we decide on this then our slogan will be changed from "Sent it Home" to "Send One Home". Thinking of the concept now does have it's flaws, perhaps we should have had some kind of idea at the very beginning, but the group and I like where this is going regardless.
