Yesterday's studio seemed a bit uneventful, but now that I look back on it we did some important stuff. First we discussed an interesting reading about craftsmen versus white collar bureaucrats. Well...essentially that's what it was about. Then we looked over everyone's precedent studies which were all really cool, but there were some very similar themes. The discussion and precendents took us about 3 hours to get through. Lots of sitting.
Then we went over and were introduced to the CNC router. That thing is a beast! The bed is 4' x 8' and it has this big mechanical arm that moves a lot faster than one might expect. Can't wait to actually use it. One of the other groups for the joint project got to cut their pieces out and they looked awesome. My group talked to our professor about our project and he said to "put it on the back burner" and work on something else. Probably not the best thing to hear.
We also took a look at the 3D model of our space and received a floor plan. Other than that I did some sketching for the room, but I didn't really want to start working on ideas until I know what the client wants; what they actually intend to use it for. We meet with AIAS board tomorrow, so I won't have long to wait.
Today in Practice we had a long tutorial of Revitt that will continue on Thursday. I think it's actually a pretty cool modeling program, just complicated. I think once I get really familiar with it, I'm going to use it constantly.
