Component Drawings 2/22/12

• In class, I am working on the components of my model and figuring out where everything will go while staying within the space I have given myself. The main challenge I am facing is trying to figure out the exact dimensions of everything, but I think I am at a good place so far in my project.
•  Out side of class, I have completed my 1/16" site model. It was very time consuming and the measurements were difficult to convert, but I am on schedule according to the timeline I created.
• This weekend, I plan to work on my first model, working on where the components will be, and the general shape.

• In class this week I have been working on my initial sketches and working on the placement of the programs for my model. I am having trouble with choosing what I want to incorporate in my model and where I want everything to be. 
• I am currently working on my site model, and the main problem I am facing is getting the measurements and sizing right for my site model.
• For this next week, I plan to finalize my idea to exactly what I want my model to look like.

• While writing this research paper, I realized that a research paper is not very hard to complete. Even though everything has to blend together, a research paper is not very hard to complete, even with sources.With this research paper, I have learned about architects who have completed theaters, and the components that are actually involved in the creation of a theater.

• This week, I discovered the Teatro Colon, in Argentina, which is considered one of the best theaters in the world. This theater is recognized for its acoustics and its artistic construction.

• For this coming week, I will finish the paper, and I will work on my site analysis and models for my project.

• This week, I learned that there in fact are small venues which provide students to work together in San Antonio. They are a small version of what I would like to see in this city, and even though these theaters are placed in "bad" neighborhoods, they provide an outlet for many young and aspiring performers.
• This week I have completed my timeline and writing problem C of my paper. My research for the problems is near complete. I have also talked to Mr. G about getting together so I can get a better grasp about the acoustics needed for a theater.
• This weekend I plan on working on my site analysis and beginning my 1/32" sketch models.
