This week was spent completing floor plans and working on schematic sketches of interior components. On Wednesday Jean Carter, the State Fire Marshall, came to campus and met with our class. We researched codes before he came to figure out our occupancy type and load. In doing so, many questions were formed and promptly answered by Mr. Carter. It was very beneficial to meet with him and hear first hand what sort of leniency is given in certain situations. Mr. Carter made codes seem like fun.
My most exciting project at the moment is designing a auditorium that is also a skate boarding ramp. What am I getting myself into? I am also working on a "tunnel" that forms display space for the art gallery with its exterior walls, and explores our five senses on the inside. I would like all features of the tunnel to be activated or created by the person/ persons walking through the tunnel. Any thoughts, ideas, knowlegde is needed. Please feel free.
