The final step for this last project was for students to design a studio space for a specific profession including: an artist, a poet, a dancer, and a sculptor. Each student was required to design a studio space for one of these four clients. Students produced drawings explaining the interior, as well as 3-D models to explain the exterior.
This is the first step of the students’ final project. Students went on a tour of the Downtown Cotton District and practiced site documentation. Students were given a specific site to document and then return to Giles to create a physical model.
Students were challenged to make a cardboard lounge/table device that supported at least one person from the team as well as perform one other task determined by the group. Students presented and tested the chairs later that night in front of the students and counselors.
Each counselor gave their group a different drawing exercise from their experience in architecture school. Some students explored blind contour drawing, while others worked on their sketching techniques around MSU’s campus.
Students worked together in teams to design and construct a life-size enclosure on a pre-selected site. They had limited resources including: bamboo, muslin cloth, and string. They were required to make a space and structure that provided shelter for their team, and related and responded to their site.
