a shorter album of Chris's entire visit can be found here.

so the last week was spent working on a new competition for a Laboratory building in Germany. I joined the group a little late in the game but it was a nice project and fun to work on. It was a bit like the first project I worked on when I arrived in that I had very little time to make certain drawings fit into how our office presents them. I was somewhat successful in this light. I worked on the elevations for a few days and then on an interior perspective. The interior perspective turned out a bit better and involved a lot of work (at least for me).

After that was submitted on Thursday night I was moved to another competition project that is in Paris. there is around 3 weeks left in the project and right now I am coming up with the site plan for the boards. I think that I might have a better grasp now of colors and how things should look, so hopefully it will go a bit faster and look a bit better.

This weekend I spent saturday relaxing and catching up on all the things I neglected during the week. Sunday I am spending doing my last bit of work on my book as well as a bit of office work. I got the corrections I need to make from the grad school (only one) and so I am going to do that and then send it off. I plan on spending the rest of the week maybe doing some fun stuff to do and upload a final copy later in the week. Then I'll be done.. a little later than normal, but hey... its still done. And I like how it turned out. Its not the greatest book, and there are some things I would have done differently. But overall I think it shows my work nicely.

Next weekend I will be going to the Netherlands and visiting Annika for a few days. She is working in an office there for a few months. I have never been there so it will be a nice change of scenery and to see her.
