Library Research

Our library research is well under way and our trip to the Ringer on library was very successful. I feel that most of the students are very visual learners in the architecture program and it was extremely beneficial to get to experience the space that we'll be working on. We got to see the difficulties that face the current design and the librarian was able to give us a lot of input on what could be done and what the real issues were in the current design. I also thought it was really interesting how the librarian specifically talked about architects and how many architects don't take the worker into account when creating the design. She was able to point out so many failed opportunities that were strictly ignored by the architects. All the comments she made just made me want to design something so great for this library because these people love their job and love what they do. They should love the building they work in as well.
On Wednesday, we were able to show off our display boards to James and I feel very confident in our design. Hannah was able to find a really dynamic layout to present our information and I was able to mimic the design in Indesign and they look awesome. Now we're just finishing up the floor plans in autocad and pulling out all the information to finish up our boards. It'll be so cool to see everyone's ideas and comparisons on Friday!
