As part of the residential development for the site we are currently working on, we were required to meet with a professional designer who would help us further develop out designs, and give us feedback to the work we have created. To the meeting we were required to take a drafted set of plans, materials, and over visual aides that would help guide them in understanding our designs. I had with me some very crucial elements that I felt would give some reassurance to what I was trying to do, and when I met with the three designers from WSU I felt it was a great success.
I met with Joanie Thomas, Jennifer Reynolds, and Stacy Gravel who are all employed here at WSU with the Architectural and Engineering Services department. I got some very good feedback that would follow through into my design solutions. One of the most important topics they brought up were the idea of really emphasizing the modular shelving and using materials that would reinforce my concept. I was originally thinking of using some sort of plastic or resin based material for my shelves, but they thought that by creating as much visual texture it would help push my fingerprint concept a little further, along with the whole natural material feel that I was pursuing. Overall I was really happy with the result and know that their creative input really helped give me a better approach overall, and led to a great product and result.
