So Far
So far I've really been paying attention to architecture and just the basic structure of not only buildings but also patterns in life. In this website there is inspiring architecture and I'm trying to take some of the designs in consideration for my design of the senior lounge. Though i haven't been taught anything about the subject, I have a rough idea of what i want it to look like. Also i found a website about rob dyrdek and his foundation. This is how I'm hoping to receive the money for my project. There's still lots to do!

Around Me
As I look deeper into the world of architecture I realize the diversity in it. That there is no boundaries in architecture, only the ones that i create. This Ted Talk helped me in realizing the importance of simply identifying a problem and finding its solution. In this project I was considering making it green. In open source architecture, there is an emphasis on using the resources around you and solving the problems near you rather than far away. In the same way, our projects focus on the problems near us. This senior lounge is going to focus on having an area to potentially help with the seniors' stress levels and academics. This changed my perspective on creating this amazing lounge, instead I'm shifted more towards its reason. That's what this video reinforces, that ideas are the base of the bigger picture. Take a look for yourself :Click me! Click me!! (embedding for this video didn't work, so here's the link.)
