     All of the students above will create a makeshift shelter from found or repurposed materials. Our group focuses on developing a suitable space for studying.  

     Initially we were able to construct the structure with various found objects.  However, as of 1/22/10, we are limited to five found/repurposed materials and only two binders/adhesives.  We also became aware of the size/shape of the space for exhibition, 10 1/2' x 4 1/2'.  As a result, we revisited the overall shape of the structure.  Even though we had already begun brainstorming prior to this, it was time to consider our limitations.  In order to create more interest in the decor of the space, we will multipurpose all of the materials.  Even with the changes, lighting, insulation, texture, and comfort of the study are key issues we will still address.

     As for now, we have an overall plan for the choice of the materials and the display's overall shape.  Over the weekend everyone will all have pulled from their resources to find materials such as cardboard, plastic wrap, wood and fabric.  On Monday we will be able to tell what we have, organize it, determine what we still may need, and decide on what we can do with what we have.

     The projects are due on 1/29/10.  If we can organize and problem solve ahead of time, the more successful I feel we shall be.
