So hey, here's a new studio project (by "new" I mean last week). In three weeks, we were tasked with designing a functional, aesthetically appealing three-story apartment building for visiting professors, again in downtown State College. The program included a cafe, an art gallery, a public lecture space, a public library, a private library, a private seminar area, at least 8 private individual suites for the "professors", private and public roof terrace/solarium, and some sort of method of circulation from floor to floor (two means of egress). Also, hypothetical ADA approval was recommended.
It was HARD.
Haha, not really.
But yeah, really.

Admittedly, the design was pretty simplistic. However, this was nearly air-tight logistically, so that's a decent accomplishment. The next project is slightly smaller scale, a little further down College Ave, and has been designated as a "Cafe/Bookstore". Sweet deal.
Also, my group just finished our Sketch-With-Wood project for Materials. What does any of that mean? I'll post pictures later.
