Day 3 ||| Sunday

Perspective Drawing + Kit-of-Parts

Posted: June 16, 2008

To start the day off, the students are getting a crash course in perspective drawing. Groups have stationed themselves all over the building, and are in the process of sketching the various hallways and corridors.

After spending a couple of hours with that, they will move on to a Kit-of-Parts spatial study. Using a set of various shapes cut out of cardboard and chipboard, plus a few skewers, they will construct an abstract environment. These should have public and private spaces, though there is no strict requirement on what the finished construction should look like.

Today's pictures can be found here.

There will also be a review of the Instant Environments that were constructed yesterday. Even though there were some storms, it was dry enough to get some amazing work out of the students. All of the structures are well made, and even during the building process they weathered any storms that passed. Final pictures of the Instant Environments can be found here.

(It should be noted that buildings and their infra-structure are responsible for 50-70% of all energy usage on the planet). Also see The Union of Concerned Scientists for some more information on the subject.
