The last 24 hours we have been doing a charette (an old tradition from the Academie des Beaux Arts in Paris, in which everybody works on one fast design problem; the name comes from the little cart that went by all the ateliers to collect the finished work). The program was a bus stop on campus, and this is one of my screenshots of my computer model of my design:
I really don't care for the charettes; they tend to be very competitive and I think they don't really bring out the best in a lot of people. But whatever: the work was assigned for class and I did it.

The assignment was to submit a board for hanging that was one by two feet, with a 1/2" scale model of the shelter.
I'm a really terrible model builder, so my model kind of looks like it is about to fall apart, which it may be. I liked my computer model better and the rendering I did for it came out nicer, too. I guess when I go into practise I will be hiring out my model-building.
(The askew angles are intentional, but given my over all "level of craft," they kind of just look bad.)
