addition progress

i've decided on a final design for my addition which will consist of a studio space, library, and small outdoor patio. i realized i wanted to do these specific rooms because i felt they were the only rooms that were missing from frank lloyd wright's original design. im going to place the addition above the entrance in order to make a statement with the room and at the same time seclude the addition from the public. the room will help enhance the appeal of the entrance and also shelter it with more ceiling space.

im going to use steel, elm wood, brick, limestone concrete, and a translucent glass material as well. my goal is that by using some of the same materials i will keep a cohesive feeling of the room to the rest of the house and incorporate new materials that wright might have been interested in using. the studio will be almost completely open to nature which is the main design criteria that wright worked around.

the final presentation for this project is due wednesday so im going to have to kick it into gear to get it all done since i will need a basswood model, drawings, a final laid out presentation board and i will also have to redo the first part of the project to make my drawings more visible and appealing. wish me luck

p.s. the final presentation will be a silent critique meaning we do not get to talk about the project but we will be critiqued on only what we have on the board. in a sense the board will do the talking for me so i need to make this one good!
