I am willing to bet that you have to learn how to design something like that properly. -------------

Its geometry and trigonometry applied with a little bit of physics. If something is a certain shape and the measurement for one part is X, then you can deduct the other measurement must be Y. After that its just as creative as you can get. Of course, I'm sure after you design several simple buildings, you start to learn "If the room needs to be large enough for four, make it N x Y feet". I had to design structures for our drama department, its a pain but if you have something of a fixed size to build around (such as a painting or screen or whatever) its much easier. Sketch-up is your friend. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

I wouldn't want to live in that.

This is what I've got so far. I dont feel like explaining the brief we're following, but the lot we're building into is triangular:

Yeah, I see what you mean, made a little change: *edit* Couldn't really see the change, heres two new pics

| What about widening the porch and make it fit with the triangle? |

No dice, we're keeping the front nice and open for greenspace/ walking traffic. The area that we're putting this in, walking traffic practically takes priority to cars, so we're making it pedestrian friendly/ inviting. Also, triangular buildings for this particular purpose are kind of a no-no, and the prof didnt like people using up the entire triangular lot. Couple reasons to keep it as open as it is. |

| What specs is your prof looking for? Can't put my finger on it but the building looks awkward. |

Me neither, thats why this sucks. Anyways, it's a three week project, this is week 2 so we're going in with this design, and seeing what sort of critisisms the prof has, and touching it up for the final week. |

Sounds like what we're doing. Although our windows are dileberately placed, we're still going to have to BS our faces off. We do it every week |
