The final presentation came and went very quickly. Arrival was a quick as departure. This past week has been somewhat of a blur, catching up on much needed rest and reflecting on the work over the course of the term. Between catching up on other classes, getting organized and back to a normal life, it’s been a challenge and quite a recovery road that will take some time.
Overall, the review went well. Critical and tough questions were asked, but I had considered design aspects for all the topics that were questioned prior to the review. The main focus of the discussion was the original idea and the parti of the building. The clear diagrams and brief intro of looking to the site’s history sold the idea to my jurors through the connection of the traditional, colonial fabric to a modern, urban fabric. The sequence of spaces which set up the design move to carve into the seawall to give back to the beach and create a space which blurs the end between craft and the beachscape.
A good, tough lesson was learned in terms of presentation at various scales: whether present or absent to direct the discussion, grab the 30 sec drive-by, the 3 min, the 10 min, and the 45 minute attention spans. I plan to continue developing imagery for the presentation considering I need some interior image shots of the quality of my spaces.
Apologies for the poor photo quality stitched together for the final presentation. My camera with final shots of my setup were left behind at home as I’m overstretched currently balancing the workload at hand. I will repost later.
