So I've been gone for a long while. This is me and what I've been up to.

My final project's requirements...in a nut shell...

-Wood transformation.
use the material in a way it normally isnt. but also in a way that no other material could easily substitute. To accomplish this, only stock 2x4s were used, they were curved in a way that you normally dont expect to see a 2x4, yet it had to be a 2x4 because the grain of the wood was what allowed the curve to exist.

-Secondary Material
A secondary material was allowed. In this case, it was string. In order to hold the wood's curve in tension WITHOUT ANY GLUE OR ADHESIVES, string was necessary, yet minimal.

-Human Enclosure/Pod
The project had to involve the human body. whether its walked through, sat on, or whatever. So this project has 2 chairs, a desk, shelf, roof covering and short "hallway."

-Portable
The project had to be able to be moved. No matter what. Hence the reasoning for not allowing any glue. If you cut all the string, the wood would be able to be unslotted, straightened and carried.

Final review was last friday, everything went great. I'm now a second year architecture major.

any questions?

wow that's awesome. None of the architecture students got to build anything on a scale like that at my school (A&M), especially not first years. I'm in the Landscape Arch. program, and we work hand in hand with the arch people a lot, but our final project was a little model that we built as a homeless shelter. I'd love to do a project like that. Where are you going to school?
