Everybody's a Critic

A studio-rendition of a poem by a popular modern-day poet:

Our palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

There's sweat stains on shirts already, we're not ready

She's nervous but on the surface she looks calm and ready to drop bombs

But she keeps on forgetting what she wrote down

The whole studio goes so loud

She opens her mouth but the words won't come out

She's choking now, everybody's joking now

Keep trying to put words together but I'm stumbling, wow

The clock's run out, times up, over, BOW!

AKA: It's review day.

However, despite the fact that majority of architecture college students hate reviews, I tend to like them. I don't like the actual presentation of course (who actually likes those?!) since I tend to forget the art of English-ing, but I rather enjoy the critiques and conversations about my/our design afterward. After you've worked on something for so long, hour after hour (most likely in the wee hours of the morning), it's advantageous for a group to get a fresh pair of eyes to review the project at hand. 

In spite of the fact that both my partner and I were running on roughly 2 hours of sleep each, I think that our presentation went well today. The reviewers were very helpful with their comments after our presentation. They talked mostly about how, at least in the beginning, liked our parti (even though it was most definitely not in chronological order.. which is surprisingly hard to realize at 3 am..). Later though, they said the form was lost in the process, specifically when we split the one "noodle" form into two different pieces. 

Now, I think we will be able to move in a direction that can fix the children's noise issue, that they also touched on, and still be able to stick with our original "inspiration" and/or parti.

Hopefully we will be able to design a great form and fix our currently non-functional areas. Will get to work before the weekend however. :)
