This past week was more intense and extreme than we anticipated. We spent day and night finishing up our exterior renderings which we attempted (and succeeded) in 3Ds Max program. We had never done an exterior rendering before which made for an interesting experience and became very time consuming. After learning the tricks of exterior renderings we successfully concluded 4 renderings. The exterior renderings were all created Sunday and Monday and Photoshoped on Tuesday.
Tuesday and Wednesday we focused on creating and perfecting our presentation boards. We lucked out and finished our boards just in time on Wednesday to print before all the other groups and not have to deal with the backup of printing and running out of paper and ink.
From Sunday up until Thursday at 10:00 am we struggled to finish building our model. This model was rather simple except for the atrium roof. This roof was made from thin, transparency paper. In order to perfect our model we had to attempt to keep all finger prints and excessive glue off of each individual piece. This was rather difficult.
After only 20 hours of sleep from Sunday to Thursday (that is from the interiors, architects slept about 10 hours) we began the long trek down to College Station. This was not as bad as we expected and took us about 6 hours. The next day, after a wonderful 8 hours of sleep, we presented our project at the College of Architecture at Texas A&M. Our reviews with the professors, students, and professionals went extremely well and we were very excited for the positive reviews. Saturday we all woke up first thing in the morning and began our trip back to Norman just in time to watch OU become the Big 12 Champions for the last time. Next up... Tulsa presentations tomorrow, bright and early!!!
