Stilll chasing those dreams.

Tonight I had a presentation with some "higher ups." I'm not sure what all their titles are, but I believe some of them were architects. I was really just excited to have some real world experience in presenting a design project that I helped work on. What we did, was to try and solve some of the spacial and programmatic issues that the Terrace Hill Carriage House has with some of their everyday use, based on some information that the staff gave us and our own observations by redesigning the space inside the building proposing a new addition to the south (less prominent) facade in order to preserve the historical character of the north and east facades. I know that's a run on sentence but it seemed to flow as I wrote it and I'm not going to break it up and reword it. It was a really fun project and I would be even more excited if they decided to implement any of the ideas that were specific to my group's project.

In other news, I've decided to continue to pursue my passion for architecture by taking a class on how to use the program called Revit (sp?) which is a three dimensional design program. I've been kind of self learning and trying to design what I'm calling a "kitchen house" in Google sketchhup, but I haven't gotten very far with it since it's not "due." Ha ha, even if there was a due date, I'm not sure I would have worked on it this much.
