So, in this final two weeks, we are to design a package that will carry your models from where you are to where I am. Not unlike Apple, you are sending your product to an audience.
The intent is for you to consider how full scale objects communicate. What do these packages say about their contents? How does their design distinguish top from bottom? How do the decisions you make inform the user about how to open, extract and understand the contents?
Architects work and think in smaller scale representational objects. Our models and drawings are about some possible future. The goal of this exercise is to make something full scale, which is present in the here and now.
Surfaces, planes, corners, connections, fenestration, openings - should all be considered the way one might consider these when designing a building. How do two materials join to form the corner of a container?
The idea, as stated in the email, is for you to ship these to the BAC for delivery by end of business day, September 28, 2007.

Did we end up with a final decision on how we are going to have our final “meeting” crit for our project? (phone/skype/video conference, etc?)
