There are many tactile surfaces and open areas to connect all community spaces into the hallway. This hallway is the main station for displaying whats going on within the school. Each surface is marked off into sections such as activities, clubs, or achievements. This helps each student begin to feel welcome as he continues his journey and have a basic understanding of whats going on within the school. School spirit es once again established here. I view this hallway as another ring in the tree trunk. It shows the schools growth and is the foundation to stitching the school with the grade level hallways which are the branches of the school. Once again you can also see how lighting is important in the space by the green colored flooring which makes you aware that natural lighting is taking place there. Also, as a thin thread stitching all the tactile surfaces together on the walls, you can view a small accent of color under the top right material. It forms a straight line that even continues through the classroom doors. It has small recessed lighting built into in to create a stronger emphasis on the schools work below it. Finally, you can view the purple band still acting as the feeder root through the school as it carries the knowledge and nutrients into the classrooms.</div>Angela Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15443912304266170327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004714557266689077.post-35423607467380272572009-05-12T06:06:00.000-07:002009-05-12T06:20:37.510-07:00Into the school<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_YZersvu-v0u5_DAM81IK8L71NnPdI5YnUuDXncGxSZ4xiIp6zs2ga7tsRG0e72Wg3sUU0UsxjMapYGoj5fMZVQhrAIjXgNFsJmrZFqo5mF0ezcOoGxrnJylIG0ybRhx3GVEmlzcARF0/s1600-h/entry.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334923279527855394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_YZersvu-v0u5_DAM81IK8L71NnPdI5YnUuDXncGxSZ4xiIp6zs2ga7tsRG0e72Wg3sUU0UsxjMapYGoj5fMZVQhrAIjXgNFsJmrZFqo5mF0ezcOoGxrnJylIG0ybRhx3GVEmlzcARF0/s320/entry.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The entry way into the school is to be a general information area for the school's sustainable practices as well as the surrounding communitys interaction with the school. There are to be sliding frames with graphics and text on the right wall to dispay the info. The info wall also proves how this knowledge is tied to the knowledge found in books because of the seamless openess into the library. You are able to view grahics, text, and books all at the same time. The width of this opening relates to the floor because it is the same width of the purple that continues to feed its way through the school. This helps provide a direct connection between the knowledge found in the school as it journeys its way through each grade and hallway. Another important addition to the entry way is the natural lighting. Where to begin with the school was very sterile and being a LEED credited building, it did not show natural lighting in the most important region, the circulation areas. I opened up all sides of the space to allow the lighting to highlight certain areas. </p><p>1st : The left wall- lighting into the office, (also highlights seating at the same time to encourage students and others to stop and read info wall.</p><p>2nd: Ceiling - Lighting purges through the wood beams and translucent 3Form to highlight standing area to view graphic/info wall.

There were a few students including Bryan and Wade plus some other teachers. Janel, Shannon, and myself presented the studio's projects and ended with a video showing the process of our own studio's spaces' transition. I never thought I would be so nervous to present until I was standing in front of the students. Whether it was because the abundance of coffee combined with no sleep or the fact we were responsible of presenting others work, I was shaking. Not something I have done since I was in second year presenting. It was an experience however, which made me realize some other important aspects. There was a quote in the book, <span style="font-style: italic;">Home from Nowhere</span> by Howard Kunstler which reminded me of this.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 0);">"The outcome of two decades of urban renewal was that almost nothing of enduring value got built"</span><br /><br />This relates to my experience because I had studied each persons work so hard and became so focused on presenting each persons project with the intention of showing their whole space, that I lost site of the real challenge. This presentation was not meant for that, it was meant to show the potential each school had. By separating their work out and trying to present it individually I think I failed at this. This is why nothing had ever been built according to Kunstler. So many people tried to go in every direction to show what they believed was best for that time. However, it wasn't and many issues arose and communities were lost. The value of design needs to be looked at from every angle, whether great or small but either way it needs to be looked at as a whole. Something I should have done when presenting.<br />This project was a great learning experience and helped me achieve many goals which I set out to gain this semester:<br />1. Balancing school and life<br />2. Going back to my roots of hand rendering<br />3. Research<br />4.

This is an obvious importance but one that always seems to be disregarded. The high school and the middle school circulation spaces have been a constant confusion of how much design should relate to both spaces. I think Patrick made it clear that it is important to have this easy transfer of design but you can't force it. If something doesn't work, don't use it. If it makes a bad design then how would either group benefit from the project. I'm glad we talked about this and have settled on some common paths we both wish to take with our designs.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Next Steps:</span><br /><br />1) Look up fire codes--very important!<br />[communicate with group]<br />2) Determine how the "U" stitches together the spaces and relates back to our concept.<br />[communicate with group]<br />3) Sketch out floor plan to understand how the "U" works with each space from aerial view.<br />[communicate with group]<br />4) Finalize design<br />[communicate with group]<br />5) Start Revit!.....yikes</span>Angela Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15443912304266170327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004714557266689077.post-68492588435503834872009-03-26T19:17:00.003-07:002009-03-26T19:25:40.698-07:00Holt McLean-NC artist<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb2u9X4-9L0CHr19hUuToMhhyphenhyphenj0K5hucnbVL2eZFNGsEtZRkwVl_JWPmvyA4xboXSLD6mWZ3z5pkRdSk7cD4W5kjvq5qh1C7PR789DC3QzGIgtR0r4WLDGlaGP2LYqjM7nyZ70dEAJCjs/s1600-h/Holt+McLean.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 208px; height: 285px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb2u9X4-9L0CHr19hUuToMhhyphenhyphenj0K5hucnbVL2eZFNGsEtZRkwVl_JWPmvyA4xboXSLD6mWZ3z5pkRdSk7cD4W5kjvq5qh1C7PR789DC3QzGIgtR0r4WLDGlaGP2LYqjM7nyZ70dEAJCjs/s320/Holt+McLean.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317686057135648290" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This image is an oil painting done by a local artist.

I am more focused on <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">defining</span> myself as a designer. <div>The first charette taught me the benefits of working in a group and how sometimes <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">collaborative</span> efforts have there ups and downs.</div><div>The first project with our group in rm. 204 really helped me to step up and focus on becoming an <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">effective</span> leader and organizer. Something I usually put off because I love being the out of the box, conceptual thinking, and living in my own little world where rules and requirements are up for <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">debate</span>.</div><div>The reading, at first, I was not happy about. It wasn't until I looked at the book as something that maybe I wasn't supposed to understand exactly they way it was written. It also, is up for interpretation. It has broadened my <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">outlook</span> and stretched my brain out beyond its container. A poets head may be out there but somehow it all makes sense.</div><div>This last charette however, I am still confused by. The most useful aspect I have gained from it is that design can form out of anything. Whether it is a picture or an object. It works really great if you have <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">designer's block</span>. Free drawing can take form and become something interesting because it releases our minds from the square room with no personality.</div>Angela Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15443912304266170327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004714557266689077.post-63256831624668448562009-02-21T10:51:00.000-08:002009-02-21T11:02:02.416-08:00looking back/5th gradeFavorite teacher: Miss. Garner-5th grade<div><br /></div><div>Miss. Garner was new to the teaching world when she first entered our 5th grade classroom. Being that we were her first class, she spoiled us. This is the reason she stood out to me most throughout my time in school. She would always begin and end the class with a fun activity such as thumbs down, charades, or storytelling. She had a great personality and was always compassionate and patient with each student. She knew how to have fun but be stern when she needed to be. I remember her throwing a pool party for us at the end of the year at her house. It was so much fun because it gave all the students a chance to interact together in a different setting without so much pressure. We became a very tight group throughout middle school because of this. </div><div>I remember another time she took a group of girls, including myself, to the mall. We just hung out for the afternoon and at the end of the trip she took us to a kiosk that sold jewelry. She bought us each a small 1 kt. gold bracelet which I still own today. This was so impressive to me that a teacher put so much time and effort into her students. I had so many better memories of elementary school because of her.</div>Angela Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15443912304266170327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004714557266689077.post-79962499395355230662009-02-20T20:13:00.000-08:002009-02-20T20:17:11.390-08:00Knowledge, intimacy, and freedom<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpb-Wh30_ZuSnnYcUsCa6uojedyQCVKejLSVjFo9KOyIBRArQE_QZ666CiUin2Tr9BWONIkPnandN1N7-Bncs-pS-s88aDfsK0PUq4orYIOMqhCRXG3hST1x3u_Deh25ltk1VIDw75ht0/s1600-h/staircase_drawers.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305099048244228690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 238px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpb-Wh30_ZuSnnYcUsCa6uojedyQCVKejLSVjFo9KOyIBRArQE_QZ666CiUin2Tr9BWONIkPnandN1N7-Bncs-pS-s88aDfsK0PUq4orYIOMqhCRXG3hST1x3u_Deh25ltk1VIDw75ht0/s320/staircase_drawers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQhyphenhyphenc3XWL6YAYUlad9JF2cXPvtd6epRcW-t3UeSEKf-JMmd13Fjo-JJkF721SAqgdbQ2e8hF6_fdWWWA8ON6A9EY9Zbd2YPmnZYIcFczTmVVDEG7_yFOUjIIdQuqu9oqRRVdq9m6cQsTI/s1600-h/00_wardrobe_2_door_2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305099045429759714" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 282px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQhyphenhyphenc3XWL6YAYUlad9JF2cXPvtd6epRcW-t3UeSEKf-JMmd13Fjo-JJkF721SAqgdbQ2e8hF6_fdWWWA8ON6A9EY9Zbd2YPmnZYIcFczTmVVDEG7_yFOUjIIdQuqu9oqRRVdq9m6cQsTI/s320/00_wardrobe_2_door_2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicFFe1oaM6v4_n-rKyzsABhv-U1sE3jynn9hbHKlDi8QRdBqKZD_dNGhIncHWeZnN2XZPiCwaeGaFScc0RXMIW7xzdd913qyZYQOqkXXC8WEaPAoECjr01GJiIz8Y3Q_FBkcfRS2vN8N0/s1600-h/PirateChest21.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305099044725046546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 305px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicFFe1oaM6v4_n-rKyzsABhv-U1sE3jynn9hbHKlDi8QRdBqKZD_dNGhIncHWeZnN2XZPiCwaeGaFScc0RXMIW7xzdd913qyZYQOqkXXC8WEaPAoECjr01GJiIz8Y3Q_FBkcfRS2vN8N0/s320/PirateChest21.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Angela Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15443912304266170327noreply@blogger.com0
