Don't Forget to Clean Up

The studio is relatively safe right now but understandably in the mass push to get things done things might get neglected and order, cleanliness, and organization will give way to messy anarchy.  Please remember that a relatively clean studio is a lot safer than a messy one.  People can slip on dust, get blinded by flying rotary tool bits, or trip over electric equipment amidst all the model making.  Please take precautions in ensuring that models, computers, and others are not injured during this deadline.  A moment of cleaning up things would be both therapeutic and safe... unfortunately we do not have things like the Portrash to help out...

<48 hours until a major portion of your undergraduate education comes to an end...

Model Test

I thought I'd never have to use the shower in the Architecture Building but...



It proved useful as a dark space where I could test my model lighting. Sorry the following image is not the best quality... hard to hold the camera and the light in place at the same time!

Model Building

Here are a few images of my model building process for Project 4B.

Image 1. Pieces to build "egg-crate" framing for model.

Image 2. Symbols given to bracing/ support pieces to help organize the assembly process.

Image 3. Assembly of profiles and bracing/ support pieces.
Image 4. Assembly of both forms in section.
Image 5. Completed framing system with exterior finishes (wood veneer) applied.
Image 6. Though nothing oggle over, a look at the pool in the sectional model with a slight shadow of the "frit" applied to the glazing.

Why won't my model SEXplode!?!?!?!

Smart Glass

As more of you begin bringing questions about transparency, privacy, and controls for light, it became apparent that many students have forgotten about the glass used at the Springs Preserve and other innovative facilities.  Smart Glass is a glass which in its "off" state is frosted but when an electrical current is run through the material, it becomes clear.  This may help those of you looking at negotiating change rooms, classrooms, and the theatre areas with respect to privacy.
