Desk Crit with Classmates

Talking to some of my classmates I developed a better understanding of the project (Revolution Mills). Allison and Matt had suggested to me that I keep in mind the original building and add a sense of modern architecture, to where they could be looked at as a whole building and not a renovation. Looking at my inspirational photos, i want to keep those in mind. The fabric and flower petal light fixture and the columns and beams would be a good consideration in the space but using them in a different way adding more detail in the area. In the area I wanted to include a patio area facing the creek, and actually having the back facade facing the creek being an important part of the building, either creating an open area, or adding windows. I do have to keep in mind the actual dimensions of the area and keep the columns in mind because not everything can be taken away without the building collapsing. Then Matt suggested that I use different materials instead of what is already in the space like, concrete or slate with the reclaimed wood or the use of a different veneer brick than the pre-existing one. When I spoke with Jimmy about my project he suggested to break away from the square shaped building. Speaking with my classmates helped me understand better of what i need to do, and now that I understand I think I can develop my ideas further.
