Second Year Critique

After watching several second year Interior Architecture students present their projects today I had many thoughts about what I saw.  The two that stood out most to me was one of a plexi glass material and one made of cardboard.  The plexi glass one was inspired by the human spine and it is designed to be something that a person can walk through.  It appears like a tunnel of clear objects shaped in a dome type of way that all work together to create the whole, just like an actual spine.  The other presentation was based on the repetition of triangles in a series.  It is interactive and can be collapsed down or expanded out.  it is sort of a tunnel like shape that someone could go through, that serves more than one purpose.  It has a consistent overlapping theme.  Each of these have a model that can be held and a poster to help express the idea.  They were both highly effective idea that could be made in real life and used.  The critique involved a series of questions and explorations concerning their models.  They had to look at the paper as a structure and space.  They also explored various materials and focused on the surface of the one that they selected.
