Design 2: FINAL, the notes
The notes below are ripped from my sketchbook. They include thoughts and ideas that need to be represented in the FINAL:
Show a place of study/reflection/observation
1. A place of Study
*To show in this space
- Focus: By making the materials direct the eye to certain areas.
- Interest: By directing the eye to catching/hidden areas in the model
- Investigation: Is sparked by the interest caused by strategically placed stereotomic pieces.
- Knowledge: Is gained by studying the model. Interest and investigation helps the self pursuit of knowledge
2. A place of Reflection
*To show in this space
- Light: Brings in warmth making space accepting. Materials will focus light into space.
- Peaceful: Felt in space by the light that comes in through openings in the material
- Secluded: By obscuring space with materials, space of reflection is open without being exposed
3. A place of Observation
*To show in this space
- Open: Space that is welcoming and has minimal obstructions
- Accessible: Easy to follow/clear path of elements.
- Exposed: Materials allow space to be shown. From inside out.
Keep The Ideas of Anni Albers In Mind!!!
- Create a "weave" of materials
- Let them intertwine on different planes
- Stereotomic to represent mass. This element adds the "pattern" of the mass.
- Basswood to represent structure. The sticks will intersect as an overlay "pattern"
- Glass to represent places. Try the skin/outer layer on the model. Sets the limit.

Shadows: Building 11
Building 11 is the newest addition to the Valencia Community College West Campus. The goal is to take Building 11 and make it our own, reposition the modules as needed. Take pictures of the models in December & June. Choose 2 top models, construct roofs and re-take pictures.
The models were made out of chipboard and placed on white styrofoam.

I Dream of Anni Albers
The class had to take our version of Building 11 and Hanselmann House drawings and Albers it. I read her and her husbands biography. I threw myself into her work seeing her patterns, focusing on her colors, and reading all I can about her ideas. There was a couple of interviews were she mentions her affinity for POP ART - so I took that as a calling. The other drawing became a color to color, pattern to pattern representation of some of her most famous work.
