Mid-Semester

So this past week has been a pretty crappy week. It is mid-semester which means we have our first design project due. Since this past Friday ( a week ago), I have spent all of my time that I am awake in studio, finishing the project. I am designing and building my building in a computer program called Rhinoceros. IT is a 3 dimensional model building program. So last night (or I guess this morning) around 4 am I finally finished the 3-d model. So now I still have a lot to do before Saturday at 10AM. I still need to draw/edit plans, sections and elevations in autocad and I also need to take renderings of the model (renderings are images of the 3-d model that are similar to photographs, they show the materials and textures that comprise the actual building. So we have to present our projects on Saturday.
Since it is mid-semester, we are leaving for our trip to Rome, Italy on Monday early morning. We all will meet at the train station at 5:30 am, take a train to Venice, and then fly from Venice to Rome. We finish in Rome on Friday afternoon, and we then have a week off of school to travel on our own. The school does not make return flights for us to return to Vicenza, instead we each plan our own week leaving from Rome. So my plans include leaving from Rome on Friday late-afternoon, flying to Madrid, Spain. Staying in Madrid for 3 days, then flying to Berlin, Germany for another 3 days, and then returning to the Veneto region of Italy, and going back to Padua ( the city we visited as a class on the rainy day).
So that is my agenda for the next 2 weeks, I will not be posting anything until I return. I am not bringing my computer. But I will take many pictures, and post them when I return to Vicenza. Also sorry there aren't any images to accompany this blog, all there is to show for the last week are some empty espresso cups, and some files on my computer.
