Pat's Desk
Floor plan at a 3":1' scale.
Directional elevation view equiped with scale model.
The white sketch model was my original plan for Pat's desk, however, not only was it not to scale but it was also poorly thought out. For instance if someone were really to build this and use it the likely hood of them hitting their head on the shelving unit is great. Also there is no even weight support/ distribution on the left side of the bench. While I think that it is ascetically pleasing, it is not functional; therefore a new design is in order.
The finale product. My concept is the McDonald's swivel chair accompanied by a drive through window. Instead of using a glue adhesive I used push pins that I cut down with wire cutters to mimic nails.

Enlighten:Design::Tell:Story
The Opus project...
First year students were asked to go about their normal student schedules for the week with 5 buzz words in mind. The first...
STORIES~ throughout the past week I learned that every person, charter, class and building has its own story. Each has its own background and history for why it is. For instance, an assignment we, the students of IARC, were asked to read one of Grimm's Fairy Tails. We were then asked to find the hidden meaning in the story which brings me to our next buzz word...
ARTIFACTS~ are t he actual physical designs that are created by humans. Attached to each artifact is a story or bit of history. When looking at an object one can usually determine: where the object came from; why it holds certain cultural values; as well as its possible time period. Which brings me to our next buzz word...
MULTI VIEW~ is the instance that occurs when looking at an object or artifact and finding several potential meanings for 'why it is'.
CYCLE~ can be a re-occurrence of things. In history we learn that it can either repeat itself or have no change at all. Each and every week students cycle through a schedule of classes.
TRANSLATION~ linking closely to multi view, translation is the way one preserves something. One professor had mentioned earlier this week that there is a difference between seeing and looking; much like there is a difference between hearing and listening.
All of these buzz words can be not only linked to our opus project but be the actual project itself. For opus-or masterpiece is all of these things: Story, Artifact, Multi View, Cycle, Translation.
