I’VE GOT IT!

21Apr10

At least I think I do.  Since Saturday Gustavo, Javier, Stephanie, and I have been trying to come up with a solution on how to build our structure and I think we finally have it. It seems feasible right now but we will have to see in the morning when we get to cut it out. I still have to fix some of the tabs but here is a quick screen shot of what I have right now.

Below is the form Javier came up with, which I am dubbing “Form-A” for right now.  Because the surface had a double curve I had to go back and re-do each panel in order to get straight surfaces.  If you look in the form, there are some highlighted panels.  This is the section I’m working on right now and the panels you saw above. 

FORM-A… YOU HAVE BEEN BONDED!

wayfinding.

19Apr10

Research on wayfinding that could be used for signage in the library design.  Wayfinding is a way to help people navigate through spaces within a place.  In architecture, wayfinding includes signage, graphic communication and other visual elements.  In our project we used wayfinding elements to help guide the students to areas in the library.  In this final stage of the library design we feel that it’s important to include wayfinding elements around the library to help the students navigate themselves around.
