Solo Reflection: The Fourth New Beginning

Our second semester of second year has begun with what I see as one of the most interesting and entertaining designs of the past 2 years. Working with Clarissa, Jeff, and Wesley we will design a shelter out of only found materials where people can socialize. After dumpster diving the first day we were able to find an abundance of cloth tarps and cardboard which can be used as walls/seating and structural support respectively. When determining how many people our shelter should hold we decided on five to allow the possible of intimate conversation among a small crowd. We are focusing on a hexagon shape for our space with two entrances to allow for circulation and light. As we move forward I am sure our design will change but as of right now we are set on having a space where everyone will be able to see and converse with each other without any obstetricals.
