So Long Citreae...

I spent the weekend resting and relaxing after a long week of mid-terms, and I decided, after a brief discussion with my instructor, that Citreae, and the citrus concept was a dead end street. I believe that I can do so much more than what my previous concept communicated with me.

Old concept aside,the rest of this project is going to be more conceptual than my previous work, I want it to be full of color, and shapes, and positive/negative space. It is all about natural structures and forms, the examination of nature's patterns, and being inspired to solve human problems with these elements: Biomimicry. Here are some inspirational pieces and photographs that inspired me to make the leap.

Now I just need a name...

Spent the whole day in the labs re-assigning materials to my project. I feel (and agree with others) that the green color in the last few process images is overpowering, and overused (within all my projects) So its all sunsine and Orange Juice for this project from here on out!

Mid-Semester Critique

MONDAY! It feels so far away, but Its right around the corner! I have so much to do before then, but I am making so much progress! :) Here is some proof

Thinking in 3D

Spent a few days over the last few weeks working in Sketch Up to produce a pretty accurate 3d sketch. Working in three dimensions helps me come up with new ways to apply materials, and it helps me see the big picture as well as the tiny details.

Here is a sketch that helps me see the various possible color applications, furniture selections, and space planning options.

Again, this is JUST a sketch, so things will change between now and December. Thoughts?
