Progression Pt. 1: Loft Space

I did a few sketches during class (out of several) as to where I'd like my space planning to go. I immediately wanted to let in as much light as possible from the main large window. Along the way however, I discovered that this was not an efficient goal. Light can come through just as effectively through the other windows, which if I focused on that I would have been able to be more creative with the space planning. But since I was so adamant to the end, to utilize that large window my plan ended up becoming boxy and not as interesting as I planned. I will further write more- about the key points that I learned throughout this Loft process.

This week in Res. studio, we are getting a series of lectures from Professor Speck about codes. I constantly have to pay attention heavily, because there is so much to take in. I'm grateful for this since the code compliancy thing does not come natural to me. But, the more restrictions the more creativity :).

We talked about last week:

Piet Boon (and wife)

David Neto's Children furniture

Founding Farmer's bathroom handlebars

Loft Space

This is my concept board and the study models I brought in. Usually study models are done in chipboard or bristol board, so I got a little chuckle out of my fellow classmates for disregarding protocol. They were allowed to be as abstract as possible though! I felt these models truly illustrated my concept of beginnings. Although, I replanted the plant in the glass jar, so I couldn't show it in my final presentation. That's something I should consider for my next study models.
