I N T R O D U C T I O N
Welcome everybody to the PSU arch 282 studio blog.
We are proposing a unique approach to a typical second-year undergraduate architecture studio, so we figured we would open our progress up to the public realm.
What makes this studio unique is that the clients are real, as is their vision for this community. As such, the students are afforded an opportunity to get input from and make proposals to these people, knowing that they are contributing to an actual, tangible, eventual work of architecture.
Another departure for the students is the fomat of collaboration. Over the course of a short, ten-week quarter, sixteen students are working sometimes together, sometimes in small groups, sometimes individually to create a single coherent project.
All the individual features of this ever-unfolding drama are organized in the main posts, and will be updated as the work progresses. Stay tuned, and let us know what you think of the progress.
-your faithful servant,
Garrett

A small group of lifetime friends are approaching retirement. Their children are grown and gone. Through a wish to simplify their domestic surroundings and strengthen the social bond between them, they wish to discard their individual family homes and join resources to create a collective living community.
ORGANIZATION
As with all blogs, this one is organized from most recent to least. So you will see the latest progress on this main page, in three posts going backward in time from top to bottom. To get a better understanding of who we are and how we got here, just click on the post titles over there on the right. They are also organized backward in time, from top to bottom.
