• For Wednesday progress to show on the following fronts:

1. Concept/Narrative – continue to craft the concept of your project and the story your project reveals to the occupant regarding light.
2. Building Scale – continue to investigate and test design ideas for the building as a whole through sketch models.  Think carefully how the building is oriented in relation to the sun and how it relates to your concept and narrative.
3. Room Scale – Begin to make larger scale study models (1/2″=1′, 1″=1′, or larger) of specific spaces in your building in order to photograph and test  how light enters the space at the scale of a room.
4. Detail Scale -  Design when and where your screen systems will manifest themselves in the project, and how they will play a role in telling the story of your project to an occupant. Evolve an update the design of your screen and module to fit into the building and tell this story as needed.  Create new study models, 3d prints as needed.
