Hello again everyone,
So its snowing like crazy here in Syracuse! Finally! I was starting to get worried winter was over early this year it had been so warm out lately. Things are going well here though. We only have a few more weeks until spring break and midterms! Yay! We got some new projects in my design classes. One of them is designing a small condo in the Hotel Syracuse, which is a historic hotel in the city of Syracuse. It is really pretty inside with incredible ballrooms and lounges. However, its been out of use for a while now and has started to fall apart on the inside. So now they are restoring the building and turning the old hotel rooms into condos for rent. There doing a lot of other things in the city around that area too. I'm pretty sure the project is called symphony place and they are planning on putting in some out door park like areas, restaurants and entertainment areas kind of to revitalize the downtown area. So our project is to design a condo for a specific client who has some sort of ties to the Syracuse area. It's kind of a complicated project though because you have to design around the existing building requirements and historic atmosphere of the space. But its cool that you can pick your own client and design specifically to them. I picked Steven Grasse, he's pretty radical and graduated from Newhouse for advertising. He's going to be a lot of fun to design for because his ideas are so insane. I'm thinking of going in the swank bachelor pad direction..
So thats what's going on here! I hope everything is going well with all of you!
