As a second year we were asked to peer review the first years on their writer’s residence project. A student by the name of Lindsey Grace stood out to me because we’re always encouraged to go above and beyond and she did just that. She showed ambition in her design ideas. She realized that the amount of room provided was not enough to incorporate her visions in their entirety so she added a space that not only was needed but showed appreciation to the original structure. She represented a strong amount of technical drawings and renderings to help further explain and portray her process. Any questions that were asked she had an answer for which showed Lindsey had a great understanding of her work. Her tone of voice was nice and kept the audience interested and eager to hear what was to come next.
When I was a first year the word “just” was not allowed to be in our vocabulary when discussing our work. It showed a lack of confidence and no thought behind your decisions. Although Lindsey used this word a few times she did not over use it. I would encourage her to be aware of using “just” and avoid it completely as necessary. Also, consider the hierarchy of your work during your presentations. The color of mounting boards and the order in which you place your deliverables is important.
Overall I would like to commend Lindsey on a job well done. If this project was to be continued and further explored, I’d be eager to see the finished product and where her ideas take her from here.
