Cotton District Design Charette

Posted: June 18, 2008

After making the scale model of the Cotton District, the students will need to design a building that fulfills certain requirements. After figuring out exactly what they need, they will build a large detail model, and a smaller model that will fit onto the Cotton District site model. Such necessities include designing a space that matches the assigned clients needs (including dancer, poet, sculptor, or painter), holds the edge of the space, and approaches it in an innovative way. Pictures can be found here.

This morning, the students were able to visit and sketch the Hunter Henry Center and the Landscape Architecture Building.

Last night we tested and reviewed all of the Cardboard Sitting Devices. Videos can be found here and pictures can be found here.
