In studio we have been working in New Mexico doing a house and separate small studio building for this couple where the husband is a Pueblo member and the wife is a bead maker. They are also into cheap ways for environmentally friendly design:
New Mexico Studio:
The idea for this structure actually came from Snow Drift Fences that are prominent in farm areas out west. I used a lot of cheap ideas for heating the house and reusing the environment around it, such as using reclaimed wood for all wood parts of the structure, a double roof to allow for a rainwater collection system and have a green house on the south side to heat up the rammed earth wall on the studio side of the green house so that it can super heat the wall to release the heat during the night when its cold. I also added solar panel cells into the glass so that plenty of light still goes through the green house glass and it also powers the studio at the same time.
New Mexico House:
The Diagram pretty much explains it in less words than I could retype
I have also been taking a class where we have been at first making a photo in illustrator by just looking at a printed out one and the second project we did a self photo by tracing it on adobe illustrator, its harder than it sounds!
