Mid-Term Presentations

Nothing like a little bit of critique to make or break your entire project. David and Andrew came in today to give us feedback on our projects and most likely didn't exactly know what to expect of our designs. That being said, I think their reviews were helpful, but I felt as if some of the things said about our project were a tad harsh. Not that I can't take criticism, but being told that your project is disrespecting the original architect and design can hurt a little. It seemed like in their point of view our project had potential, but we always seemed to have missed opportunities. I do agree that our children's and teen's space needs to reflect its use and users better than it currently does and that we maybe should rethink the height of the ceiling in that area. I just felt that they were so focused on the fact that we took away the curved wall that it was all they could see. The space is functional and a plausible solution to the problem at hand and I guess I just felt a little beat down after the presentation. Amber and I will definitely need to address the issues at hand and make some decisions on how to fix them quickly since we only have a little over a month left to work.
