Service the Core, Core the Service

Greg's handiwork, I take no credit

I always wish that I was able to come up with clever blog titles, but I'm pretty sure it is an epic fail 9 times out of 10. 

So this week, in sticking with conceptual masses, we worked on service core locations. Greg and I both worked toward figuring out an ideal core layout that will work with the mandatory uses for our building. I stuck to tracing paper while Greg knocked it out of the park with 24 Revit models. I had a measly 10 sketches, but one of them I look forward to expanding on in this next week as we move to concept sketches and masses. Up to this point we haven't really taken design into our own hands, rather let code show us the way as we tagged along for the ride. I am ready to begin making this project our own and seeing how everyone begins to develop their concepts. I kind of feel like we are behind in the design process considering that mid term review is in a couple of weeks, but I'm trying not to stress about it because I am assuming James has a plan. That being said though, you know what happens to people when they assume.
