Calm Before the Storm

Long time no post

I was in the calm before the storm, and now the storm has reached.

I'll start by sharing with you a project I've been working on for my Building Integration class.  This is a comprehensive assignment  my precedent study, the childcare center.  A version of the document can be found here:

Some warnings: this is not the final version I plan on handing in.  For copyright purposes, I've withheld the annotations and bibliography, since the rights belong to UVa (they use these assignments from the first year architecture students for their national accreditation process, thus I will just show a large portion).  There are spelling mistakes, but I think I've fixed them all at this point.

Additionally, I had a short review with a professor from the GSD on Friday, and as I've said, my project has changed quite a bit.  Here are some links that show my current state of design.  I've decided that the train is horrible and have built up a wall to block it out.  The pecan trees are now plum trees, as well.
