Desk Critiques Sept. 26

Today I talked with Ruby about her project. She had some very descriptive drawings of her space and discussed how their group is using graffiti as a concept. The bright colored glass and other decorative panes in the tall windows reinforce the concept. Also, graffiti artists will have their work displayed on 8 ft. wide space surrounding a void where you can see down on the lower floors.

I talked with Ruby, Lauren and Ashley W. about my project. My group (Allison, Cristina and Myself) is pursuing the idea of an industrial look for Revolution Mill. We want to use a walking bridge to connect the shops on the upper levels. We will use railing with steel cables and ramps from the bridge to the shops on each side. In my version of how the bridge will connect to the shops, the ramps at the uppermost point of the walking bridge will connect to the shops on the upper floor. The ramps on the lower section of the walking bridge will connect to the shops at mid-level. All of this will overlook the basement where a restaurant will be located. The bridge will also provide lighting with a magical quality for the restaurant. We still have more to figure out but I think we have a strong idea to work with.
