office stuff

not much happened today.. slept in a bit, only to discover that today was the changing of daylight savings here in Germany. So I was able to gain an hour of sleep which was nice. After clowning around a bit at my place I went over to the office to get some work done on my thesis book as well as maybe some work for the project we are working on.

I thought I'd share a little bit about it..

I am part of a group of people working on a competition for a new museum in Canada. The current museum is expanding and our firm along with around 15 others are submitting proposals for the project. I joined the project a little late so its been hard to get into the swing of things and get my head around the whole thing. We are designing a space that will hold part of their permanent collection as well as temporary spaces. My role varies but most of my time thus far has been exploring the various ideas that have been suggested by the other team members. I'll do this through drawings, making a study model, etc. Exploring how our idea can work with the program they require as well as various other constraints. Its a nice project to get my feet wet with but even after only a few days I already know I've got a lot to learn and my time here in germany will be well spent.
