frustration

This project is now at a point where the large scale design moves have been made, and I'm getting into the massaging of the parts.

Laying out the column grid has been giving me a hard time. It seems that there is always a problem with any solution I come up with. I have set up a series of rules throughout the project, and now I need to stick with them. I will be very happy when I can take a grid and move forward with the detailing.

Thick Architecture

I am developing relationships within the design, and quickly moving back and forth between drawing types and program to try and develop the project. All my current drawings are messy and incomplete, but they are helping me move the design forward. The project is evolving organically as I spend more time with it. I am looking forward to what will come out of this process. Here is one drawing that I am happy with now, a front elevation looking at the new house and the old house together. Things have already changed, but I want to put this up as a milestone in the process.

It seems as though the two sides are finally meeting each other.
