Krista's project review

Krista’s project is an old mill building located in Mebane, NC. It is the old White Furniture Co. mill. The whole building was recently bought by a developer and it going to be a mixed of residential and commercial spaces. Krista however wants to renovate part of the building into a restaurant that would feature a dinning space, a bar area, and a place for live music. For her concept she is playing the idea of rebirth, like the phoenix. With furnishing is mixes the original space with the modern furniture. Warm colors, like the phoenix, mixed with accents of complementary light blue. Copper is used as a modern touch, being a warm metal it is complementary to the old brick and wood. So what she is doing is mixing the old with the new. Her use of materials expresses the want to celebrate history while embracing the new.

point(s) i have for Krista
1. Further explore your idea of rebirth, or the phoenix
2. How can you better represent the concept through materials and furnishings

We started this week with an Esquisse. It helped with the beginning process of our thesis, by gathering our thoughts and ideas. I wrote a narritive using my program, then created a vocabulary representation, and finally models representing my key aspects of my theis.
