First year AAD students build through collaboration

This is for our foundations studio, foundation labs that all school of architecture, school of design students take. They knew that we were going to build something full scale with the intention of being an occupiable space. All the students in the beginning were working individually. As they progressed, the projects came closer and closer to one unified idea. What we did today was fully realizing that idea in a built construction. We had a prompt at the beginning of the semester and it was called "inside outside multiple in betweens" for each student to create a model of that concept, and we all just collaborated multiple ideas until we got our egg. Everybody wants their ideas to move forward. The way the world actually works is collaboration. I really hope that they carry this, this act of collaboration forward into not only into second and third and the rest of the time they're in school, but into the profession. Everybody got closer. The more we worked on the project. We were all outside. We were all in here like a couple of weeks ago, and then we all did different stuff that we were interested in. We got to experience different sort of materials that we didn't utilize before. We spend a lot of our life looking at digital screens and pixels do not respond to nature. I think it's a really important lesson to work with real materials and for things to not go right. You know, not everything went right today. And that's a really good learning lesson. And I think learning how to sequence like how something goes together is vital for designers.
