Initial Design Proposal

Out of the previous three design solutions, this seems to be the most favorable. The inspiration behind the design comes straight from the sugar beet. Just like the root/the beet is the featured part, the labs are featured in my design. All circulation throughout the building occurs around the labs. They are sunk down one story into the ground and surrounded by glass so that passerbys can look down and see whats happening.

Well this is my progression from initial thoughts to a more "quality" design. The last two sets of plans are geared more around a sugar beet as I considered how they grow and what the important parts are. I am really liking how the last design is coming along right now. The facility is focused around the labs just as the important part of the beet is the root.

I've only been wrong once, and that was the time that I thought I wrong.

The bank is stocked!

Good news,

Thanks to Frems, Ward now understands the concept of gravity!

Is there anything about architectural form and transformation that is
implied by the “Machine in the Garden” metaphor, or some other
metaphorical meaning of a “seed germ”?

SEMESTER GOALS

-Time Management
-Sketching
-Revit

This semester I plan on managing my time more wisely and wasting less of it. I want to work on projects the same amount all the way through and not leave myself with tons of stuff to do at the very end. Working consistently should make this semester a little easier especially towards the end. I also want to keep up with my readings for all of my classes and not allow them to build up.

By far my weakest strength in the architecture program is sketching. I am horrible at drawing and sketching things free-handed so I just don't do it. I know there is value in sketching and I want to become better at it.

Welcome to my life as an architect!
