And then become this! The main reception area is a spiral shape as my inspiration was Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty.

Next I made this model out of chipboard. It took a lot of patience, a lot of scoring, and a little band aid.
And this is what I'm working on right now--my sections. I'm trying to show the feeling of a spiral in these views, though a little unsuccessfully. I think the addition of built-ins might be the key--what do you think?
I barely have time for this but it's basically my first priority right now. I'm really into it too. Some of the students in my class "hate" their project but I LOVE mine. I love the challenge and the process of overcoming the challenges. I may or may not have woke up last night and started hallucinating that I had wallpaper in the pattern of my floor plan, but that's besides the point. Remember THIS this week, too! Have a great Tuesday!

Oh, that takes me back. It heartens me that you're still taught to do all this by hand.
a long transition of wall color could give the spiral feel.
Similar to what glennora said, I was thinking a mural a la Sol Le Witt could extend the spiral into other spaces.
Raina, we do Autocad too but I'm just old school and like to draw. I'm doing a perspective in Google SketchUp.
Glennora and Robin--I like that idea!! good call on the SLW, you're a true Hartford woman!

I love the chipboard model! I have a strange obsession with dioramas and this kind of reminds me of them.
