Spring break just ended. I didn’t go anywhere fun, but I did
get to go home and relax. I worked for a few days once I got home, but soon
realized I just needed to take a break from all the school work and actually
have my spring break be a break. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we
all need a break from time to time. But now, getting back into the swing of
things is the main focus of the week with it being so nice as well the fact
that we’re now halfway through the semester. It’s a little scary to think that
is the case and there’s still so much to do on my thesis on top of all the
other work I need to get done.
Luckily, I seem to be moving along pretty well with my
concept for my thesis. After my last review, one of the main ideas that the
reviewers made clear is that it hadn’t seemed like I had done much research or
even overall design work. That was partially the case as there were certain
buildings that needed more in depth research to really understand the overall
condition of my site and without that, it was hindering my proceedings with my
design. So after my review, the first thing I did for the next day and a half
was only research. I wanted to make sure I had a full understanding of the
history surrounding my site and the two large hotel buildings in it. After
doing so, I then proceeded to begin reworking my whole design as my first
attempt was a vague interpretation of the general idea I wanted to achieve and
in the review that was made very clear.
At this point in the semester, I am currently working
towards a final overall site design with the incorporation of urban gardens and
green spaces as well as mixed use residential apartment buildings to accompany
the new Red Wings Stadium in Detroit. I have addressed the given issues
presented in my site with the two hotels as well as dealing with the massive
stadium next door and instead of ignoring them, trying to incorporate them into
my design to benefit the residents of the area.
