best of intentions just won't cut it.

The intent for my sister’s house is comprised of many aspects that come together cohesively to one main intention throughout the various exercises that we have done. In examining light at the site through the light charrette, we were able to capture the different angles of the sun and determine that light was an important aspect that we wanted to incorporate. Following the research of various artists and designers of the 1930’s innovation became a key idea. Many of the designers that we researched, thought in new ways about ordinary objects or ideas. This leads our group to think about my sister’s house in innovative ways as well. After reviewing the good, bad, and ugly materials we again came back to innovation. The bad and ugly materials when used in innovative ways were no longer bad and ugly. Rather they took on a new life and were not merely about the material but the ways in which that material was used. The main intent that was gathered from the various charrettes, analysis, and research was that of innovation, innovation in material use, in ideas, and in the overall design of my sister’s house.
