Spatial Seattle Study - Day 2

Day 2 of this crazy competition project thing!

It started out somewhat early to attempt to eat the free breakfast at the hotel as soon as possible. I got severely confused by the daily savings time and the multiple clocks around the room. At least we still made it pretty early.

Then we got a tour around various urban zones in Seattle. Fun times with these two group leaders, compared to the previous prof + TA combo. Rants galore, but good info on good and bad design choices. Especially prominent were the Darth Vader building and the Pike Place Market. One is bad. One is good.

Pike Place had a very familiar lively feel. We got some clam chowder down there, although I would've liked to get it at the more famous place, but we couldn't find it!

Then we just headed back to that one waterfront park with sculptures. To take a ridiculous amount of pictures for use on our model.

Then the rest of the day was work work work. Concept development (parti), what to do in the buildings, the general form, the pdf slides, the model, etc. So many things to deal with including find good ol' scale people (aka people we rip from photos and put them into renders). Good process forwards, though we did seem to move back at some point, so it was good of the 3 mentors who guided us to find a better concept to attach to the program.

And it continued on and on and on and on... (continued in next post)
