Hey guys, thanks for the awesomeness

David here, a little late as usual. It's been a great quarter and despite the homeless issue, I think we really came up with a great project. I was blessed with a great group, which made the whole experience awesome. Thank you for putting on this class, it was unlike any class I've taken and thus learned a lot of stuff I never knew about learning. The interdisciplinary nature of the course was also fun, Grace and I got to show the others what a true architecture all nighter is all about, finishing just in the nick of time.
 Thank you again everyone, it was an awesome class,

Final Thoughts

First of all, I want to say that this has been an amazing group to work with, and I could not have asked for a better group of people who meshed so well together. I believe that we produced a great final project, and it was because of the combination of our strengths.

I learned so much this quarter about many different topics relating to museum exhibit design. Discussing learning strands, concept mapping, and design graphics among many other topics helped me not only in this class but also for whatever I may do in the future. I really enjoyed the multi-disciplinary aspect of this class, because I know that I would have never been able to work with non-CAED majors otherwise. It was good to get other majors' perspectives on the same project.

I would like to thank Professors Arens, Chen, and Jipson for guiding us along the way. Your input on the practicality of the project and the overall design in general kept us in check and ultimately helped us transform our project into what it is now. Thank you for a great quarter.

Friday-Final Design Day

It's my final post! Boo hoo! First of all, all of the groups did an amazing and fantastic job. I love everyone's ideas! For the Blackboard assignment, I wish I could have chosen everyone's! Oh I forgot to mention the blog stuff on Bb. Oh well...

So where to begin on this. We got together Thursday night to finish everything. It was a long night, but I don't regret anything.
Here's some pictures:

Wednesday June 1

Woops, sorry we've been so busy getting ready for Friday I didn't post an update for Wednesday. So I'll post one about Wednesday and I guess everyone has to do one for Friday.

Well Wednesday, We have the cave part of the model finished and was brought into class. We've been pretty much been working on the model and poster. We got together that night to work on the model and the poster.

Wednesday night- put pieces together for the model and covered it so all we had left was to wait for the model to dry so we could put "grass" on it, paint it, and put the stuff on the inside. We also have been doing great work on the poster. It looks amazing so far, we just have to make sure we cover all required content and word everything perfectly. We weren't sure how scientific or technical we were supposed to be with our poster. So that's an issue for us.
