Final review!

It’s been a long road up to this point, the final review of my project. I was able to manage my time so that I accomplished everything I set out to do for my final boards– a fact that was not missed by my reviewers. My graphics received high praise from reviewers and passers-by alike, […] […]

Coming up to the end!

I finished putting my boards together, wanted to share. Off to the printer! […]

Structure

My design is something of a triptych, three variations on a theme– in language, form, material, and structure. The Prairie speaks in a language of planes, horizontal planes of grassy ecoroofs and long, heavy rammed-earth bearing walls run from the structure out into the landscape beyond. There is a Wrightian feel to the space, evocative of […] […]

Thesis Document Final Draft!

Sorry, this is not in .pdf form; I had a hell of a time trying to get the pdf to upload, with no success. I don’t like Google Doc’s pdf viewer (I think it displays graphics poorly), but you can download the original pdf from there. So! This is the final draft with everything in it. […] […]

Thesis Document Draft

Here is a nearly-complete draft of my thesis document. A few pages still need text (such as the “natural conditions” page) and the “spacial relationships” page needs a finalized diagram. Additionally, title pages and transition pages are not yet included. Criticism I’m looking for: content, layout, readability, spelling. Also! I need a name for this project! Suggestions […] […]
