The lab is going gonzo with so many people doing renderings for there finals, here is a rough sample of what I have been thinking about. I would like to use several composite drawings both in my digital presentation as well as my booklet for details and sections/ perspectives, etc... With so many details within the space There will need to be great deal of referencing to other drawings so this layering of information should prove to be helpful. This Image still needs a great deal of work but let me if it makes sense at all.

Some work on branding from over the weekend. Please comment there are more on the way.

I was begining to get a little bogged down with things, but this exercise helped move things forward. These are a few ideas for some of the display areas within my market space. Some of the things I still need to resolve are branding for the products as well as storage of goods. hopefully today in studio Some light will be shead on these areas.

A few more images from the past few days.

Some of the work from the past few days.

Things have been slow coming this week until yesterday afternoon. I was becoming rather frustrated with myself and decided it was time to go for a walk. I didn't have to go far to find just what I needed. I hope to share my find with my classmates today in studio!

FREE YOUR MIND......

With a market place that carries produce from all over N.C. I feel it is important that the architecture of the space speak the same vernacular and regional architectural language. Not exactly the same materials used in the same manners but perhaps old building systems with new materials or the other way around, reminiscent of my concept overdrive project with the use of materials in ways they may now generally be intended. Also I would like to use textures, colors and forms from nature. I would also like to use agricultural architecture, barns, greenhouses and silos to give a few examples but put a more modern abstract twist on them. Think of the features that really make them recognizable and try to incorporate these into the retail space I am working on. After a discussion with Suzanne on Friday it became apparent that this space would ultimately tell a story of the people and places that the produce are harvested. This could really help bring life to this space and give it a soul that would really help the customers relate to the products carried here. I REALLY want to strive to recreate these iconic forms and design elements without reproducing them piece for piece. I don’t want to reproduce a barn or greenhouse but capture their essence in order to create a market place. I feel that my concept as changed a great deal from using nature as a palette to more of an abstraction of vernacular farm structures. These structures often do use natural materials in there construction so I may not stray to far from using nature as a palette but focuses more on the materials that are relevant to this particular space.
