Three days after the review...

seemingly the review last Friday was successful! The projects seem to be moving forward and becoming simplified at the same time. New lines are being drawn and areas are becoming defined. With the studio time coming close to an end, I believe everyone is getting very anxious to start building. I, myself understand that this is probably not the best solution or attitude to take towards a project. I think the more we can get done in studio the better. I see it as a design challenge, like every semester before...I would make it in studio, figuring out everything that I could and then make it in the computer. The way I always saw it was, if I could figure out everything before I made it in the computer, then making it in the computer would be simple. On the other hand, I understand we as a group or class have little to no experience in real world construction, although, we do have plenty of design experience. This is why I am glad to see the project becoming more simple and less complex, although wanting to "start making things" should start in studio, working every possible scenario out with 'little sticks' prior to using more expensive building materials on site I believe will be much more beneficial and less expensive. Sometimes jumping into something works, although sometimes it does not. If we are tired of working in studio and think it is easier to just go to the site and start making, I think we might be wrong. But only time will tell...
