Hello again everybody!
We've started doing floor plans in my interior design projects!! Finally! I am so excited, I mean I've enjoyed all the abstract design projects we've done so far, but its exciting to finally be getting to the interior design work I've been working towards for so long. One of the projects is really cool, we're taking an actual classroom in Smith Hall and turning it into a student lounge. Well, we're not actually going to be building the space obviously but we still have to use the exact measurements and design the space as if it was going to be a reality. Its also a group project which is nice since so much work goes into designing the floor plan, furniture and materials selection and model building. My group's theme for the project is connecting design students with design alumni! I just feel that it is so important that students know of and are familiar with Syracuse alumni since it helps so much internships, and job placement. It's also cool and inspiring to see all the famous designs that come out of this college! For example, the guy who invented the swiffer, graduated from here! So I am really excited to be working on that and I will let you know how it goes!
