Slideshow: Part 2 of 2





Slideshow: Part 1 of 2






This is my slide show of the posed statement, "What was Louis Sullivan’s take on the seed as a suitable motif for ornamental expression, and how did Frank Lloyd Wright or Purcell and Elmslie apply the motif." I researched the topic using the internet and a few books. If you'd like the bibliography slide as well, just ask.

Being a fan of Frank, I knew who Louis Sullivan was and what he did for architecture. He is the so called, father of the "Skyscraper". This information is all very interesting to me, but what do you think of it? Is it at all useful to what we are doing in studio?

Ice Shack Final Product

So, this is my ice shack! This is what I would want if I were to sit on the ice for hours. I could have gone a more simple route without all the entertainment equipment, but I think I would get bored out there. I have only been ice fishing once with no house for cover, so I didn't really know what I would want. It would surely be possible to make a less complex model with all seating and maybe a stereo.

Hope someone out there likes it!

Ice Shack/ Spring Studio Goals

Sorry for getting this out so late. I thought we were supposed to follow a link on Bb and when I didn't find one I contacted others, but a little too late.

So, this is the basic floor plan for my Ice Schack (ice fishing house). Pretty self explanatory. I'm working on the mechanics of how to fit it in a pickup truck bed and putting it together. Should be done with it later today/ early tomorrow.

Some of my goals that I have set for myself this semester include, but are not limited to:

  • Developing my skills in digital & free hand drafting
  • Progress my skill in presenting my projects
  • Develop skills in graphic design in relation to my Arch. projects
  • Exceed expectations with my projects
Those all seem to be attainable goals and it would be fantastic to achieve them all!
