An architecture of happiness is to create a space that inspires good thoughts, calmness, and comfort. When you design a happy place you would avoid dark colors, tight uncomfortable spaces, and anything else that would foster bad thoughts. The place that I chose as a happy space on campus is the little niche garden on the south side of the Alumni house. I chose this space because I could see myself sitting in there to relax and get away. Even though it is open and has no ceiling you can still sense that it is its own space. The rectangular walkway, brick retaining walls, and building help to reinforce the space. The plants help to soften this rigid space orthogonal space, that I'm sure is ten times more beautiful in mid spring

-------Eradicating Hunger Together Day-------
In 2015, a united nations resolution mandated that an international Eradicating Hunger day should be adopted by all nations. The celebration should include guest from another nation, This event is to be held twice a year coinciding with the winter and summer solstice. Social media should become a part of this celebration, but not overwhelming. Just like I the social media aspect, the room should not be overwhelming.
The room will be comfortable and simple, to keep the focus on what the day is about {how to eliminate hunger}. This simpleness is also an attempt to make the room more relate-able to guest from other nations.The color scheme will probably be earth tones. I want my room to be larger so that it can be multi-functional. I have this idea for a hanging table that can be raised and be a beautiful piece of art to view, while using the room for some other part of this celebration {just one idea}. I want my furniture to symbolize the hunger, that we will not be experiencing, by making it empty or hollow.
Social media will be included by computerize windows.

Blog Post 4:
On Friday we ventured out into the rain and looked around the campus to find commodity, firmness, and delight. I believe that I found it in the Jackson Library. The columns outside the Jackson Library are really a beautiful structure that bring delight and also add a sense of firmness because they are real and used for structure. They are ionic columns made from white stone, which, is really nice against the brick.
Standing in the center of the semi circle created by the collunms, puts you right on axis with the school of Human Environmental Sciences.

Blog Post 1/ RR: Orion Group: Gobekli Tepe, Turkey
Gobekli Tepe was called by archeologist Klaus Schmidt, humanity's first "cathedral on a hill." This site predated Stonehenge by 6,000 years. At one time it was thought to be a burial site, but no human remains have been found. It is now believed to have been a ritual center and/or gathering space. This Temple was constructed out of monolithic limestones and have relief carvings of animals and symbols that told a story. Before this site was excavated it appeared on a map as a hill, because its last inhabitants carefully filled it with earth. Some people speculate that this could ave been to help it withstand the earthquakes that were frequent in this area. Because of this thoughtfulness Gobekli Tepe has stood the test of time. Current only five prent of the site as been excavated.

My drawing is an illustrative drawing in plan view of a landscape. The drawing describes me as a designer because all I know as of now is landscape design. I also happen to love landscape design, because of all the free forms you are able to create with living things ( the plants).
