This advertisement was effective because it showed the product well, and emphasized it's goal of the door being strong and durable towards nature. Although it is very modern and industrial looking, it looks good with the contrasted background.

these are images of my first perspectives. I tried to invision how this space would truly look, with such an open area in the center. Also, in the exterior perspectives, the entrance was addressed.

Exterior Charrette of CNNC

For this Charrette, I focused on the connection of the vaulted buildings. By using a glass walkway/ entrance that leads to both, this first charrette proved to be a hint at how difficult a process connection of the two would be. Also, the glass windows and roof overhang on either side helped to bridge the building together and make it cohesive. It was still evident however that the exterior needed a lot of work to make it home for CNNC and it's inhabitants.

IAR 212 Reading Assignment 1

Computers have transformed from being tools, to being totally engaged in the design process. Not only can they prevent mistakes, but are now able to make decisions on their own. No longer do we design with a simple paper and pen, but the environment of computing allows us to have resources that can aid in every aspect of a project.
Communication and computing are another vital part of the design process. The internet makes sharing information between designers a simple process. In this way there can be one hundred percent coordination between group members.
The last and most important way in which computing aids the process of design, happens after the buildings are built. Whether electricity, lights, security, a computer is now running it in some way. This example of the computing process reveals that design is more and more reliant on the machine. It will always be a part of the process, and computers can only become greater involved in it.
In the future, I feel it is vital to remember the creativity that designers bring to a project. As computing gets more advanced, it is almost certain that creative nature will be forgotten, and buildings will be simply an assembly that computers can practically do by themselves. What computers can’t do is create a new and innovative aspect in our world, something that has never been done before. Designers are something that cannot be forgotten, for they are the backbone of every project.
