[9.22.08]

The order of our mat board arrived on Friday [9.19.08], and the day went downhill from there. When the box was opened, and some of the students saw that the boards were green instead of the originally decided cream color, hostility overcame the studio. The order was placed while a few students were sent to the model shop by Dr. Bozorgi to cut out houses to see which colored houses would look better next to cream colored mat board; while these students were gone, the idea to use green mat board was decided, and the students at the model shop were left under the impression that the color of the site contours were going to be cream colored. After much debate both Friday and Monday afternoon, it was decided; our site model will be green. Dr. Bozorgi was very truthful when he stated, "using a color like this [green] will present us with a great challenge throughout the project", so we will ALL willingly put our complete faith in the design capabilities of this diverse group of 9 students, and come out with one bad-ass model! Later.
