Makeshift Shelter

We have been given our first studio project, which I am excited about since our shelters have to be made of found objects. My group includes Carlos, Veronica, Cassandra and myself. We have to design and build a shelter that is for snacking in. We put our heads together and tossed up some crazy ideas that included a gingerbread house, a real garden, having windows, a circle concept and/or theme, tables, bowls of food, and putting plants inside plastic bottles that are cut in half. We gathered some materials that we found in the free-bin in studio that included a lot of wood, plastic, bubble wrap, papers, cardboard, fabric, cylinder tubes, and foam board. From the ideas and materials, tomorrow we will have a more exact idea for this snacking shelter. For now we are still jotting down ideas and sharing them with one another.
