A pair of gems, University of Oregon Professors Michael Fifield & Mark Gillem, put together this gem of a competition just last year. The resulting website is jam-packed with information and presentations by a myriad of talented designers.
I'm just two weeks from graduation and I just discovered a site that could been a big help over the past three years. HousingPrototypes.org is a fairly dry site but it is packed with precedents organized by architect, location, or housing type.
As part of our final (one week away) we were asked to design a summary page for our final project. A pair of possible designs are presented here. The final page will be approximately four inches by eight inches.
I don't know that I'm done yet... I'm not done yet... but I need to put my final presentation boards and booklets together in the next... 10 days! Yeah, flaws and all, I have to be done.

I spent a good portion of the Sunday and all of today re-designing and rendering my live-work units on the Southwest corner of the Eastlake Zoo site. Although it was a rewarding change and they're looking better than ever, I'm still feeling pretty far behind.
Putting it in context and moving right along...
A few tweaks to the boulevard building on my project have resulted in an improved facade on the residential floors & roof. With 30 days until our final review, it is finally time to go into production/presentation mode. (relief)
