So it turns out that blogging about my work habits on an hour by hour basis is a real pain. I think that, by now, anyone reading this has a pretty good idea of how much time I spend per week, and hopefully, that won't need to change much.

Here's what's happened in the past week...
We worked more on planning until Monday's studio pinup. By comparing our work to everyone else's at the pinup, we learned that we tried to design in too much detail too soon. We knew that we would need to spend all day on Tuesday working on studio to make up for this.

Tuesday, was really productive... we thought. We came up with a scheme to do the following..
1)provide ambient light to the presentation halls
2)adjoin the presentation halls to the lobby
3)raise the ceiling of the presentation hall above the ceiling of the rest of the first floor
4)provide a large public area/lounge on the second floor
5)provide lots of ambient light through a light well which stretched all the way to the circulation around the first floor.

On Wednesday's crit, we found that, though this idea might be usable, it wasn't public enough. Monson didn't like the idea of interior spaces revolving around a lit, but non-public space. We spent the rest of our studio time sketching to fix this problem, and Julie started on a sketch model Wednesday night.
