Pre-fabrication

Though the design has not yet been officially approved by the school board, we have started construction in a school shed by the wood shop. The main tower, comprising of modular 2X4 studs, is pin-joined at the corners allowing some flexibility while we await the approval. The constructed pieces are also currently being double coated with water-proof stain.

Final Design Proposal

The design proposal presented at the Texas Art Education Association Presentation with Mrs. Gardere :

String Excercise

The kids had a lot of fun spatialy engaging their entire classroom during this excercise. The students thought about previous 2D excercises and incorporated the ideas into a spatial environment. Key points such as alignment, connectivity, space and materiality were discussed during the activity.

Site Plan Excercise

For this excercise, the kids were given a scaled version of their school's site plan as well as a variety of crafty props.  They were asked to create a site strategy for the playhouse project using the two dimensional drawing along with the three dimensional props.
