Today we woke up, finished the reading and typed our summaries in a frantic whirlwind of subpar comprehension and comedic hatred before heading off to the seminar. After our discussion group had finished, I went back to the room to get caught up on some life-maintenance things (reading, relaxing, nutella and jelly sandwich…). I also did my part of our self-assigned studio homework: typing up ¼ of an article on our building in an Italian book so that we can translate it to gain some more knowledge about this clearly fantastic work of architecture. After that I did some readings until we met up as a group to discuss the book before we left to meet up at the school to work on studio for a while!
Once there, we worked for a while on trying to develop our idea from the criticism we got the day before. We ended up making some pretty good progress, and Google translate has played a pretty big role in that, we have been getting pretty good at phrasing sentences so that they transfer well (you would be surprised how much we say makes no sense!). Although we have been getting some pretty fantastic oddities from her, such as “cylinder engine” when she tried to say too much…and the good thing is that we haven’t offended her at all. Our favorite moment was explaining to Jessica and some friends the very subtle differences between “beach” and “a female dog,” which was a blast! After a few hours of pretty solid work, we left the studio, stopped at Eurospin (the grocery store) for some green apple drink, and went home.
We decided to sit down as a group and crank out some diagrammatic digital models and discuss ideas to show to her tomorrow, which went pretty well and I feel pretty confident about our design! Studio in the morning and then free all afternoon!!!
