"Homework!"

As I mentioned in my first/last post, my typical response when I'm asked the usual, "Hey, what are you doing tonight," my response is always, "Homework!" Depending on the amount of work I need to get accomplished and my current mood, this can be uttered as a slow, deliberate sigh of a word, or a high-pitched, angry burst. "Homework" is also my standard answer to the questions of "Why didn't you call me?" "Why are you drinking so much?" and "What did you dream about last night?"


So it's high time I give an answer that isn't two syllables followed by a bitter little exclamation point. Exhibit A is a project I just completed and will be submitting on Thursday.





Project: Photoshop Collage of Kithaus Project Renderings
Graphics II


Digitally assembled renderings from Studio II Kithaus Project in 18 x 24 format. Includes Floor Plan, Section, Interior Perspective, Exterior Perspective, Site Plan, and my nifty little invention called the "Chair in the Stair" All items were hand-rendered on Graphics Paper using Pantone Tria Markers.



Studio II Kithaus Project Background: The Kithaus project was our second Studio II assignment this semester. We took 3 Kithauses from Design Within Reach and arranged them to form a Doctoral Student Residence Prototype to be used at FSU. (Not really, just hypothetically.) The space had to accomodate 7 different functions within a 300sf footprint: Sleeping, Grooming, Cooking, Clothes Storage, Studying, Dining, Entertaining. Each student was given a specific site that we had to design around.

*Special thanks goes out to my sister, her co-worker Spencer and the really expensive color plotter they have for printing out this monster and saving me $35!
