House of the Immediate Future

Habitat for Humanity held an outdoor and informal symposium about The House of the Immediate Future. I toured a house made for developing countries and one for a developed country as ours. What struck me was how little we really need to survive and be happy. The concept of the wet core is a wonderful idea, but still needs some fine tuning. I'm looking forward to seeing what advancements come up in the future. In this image, I sketched the ramp and entrance of an immediate home.

Sketch Crawl

In Seattle, artists and sketchers participate in sketch crawl at different locations in the city. I was able to them one day at the Olympic sculpture park. I sketched The Eagle, an amazing sculpture that had a majority of the sketchers enthralled. Whole groups of people sat in the shadows at each leg. My angle was distant and I was able to capture the whole structure. In my mind I imagine all the angles I could have found in that piece and the various ways I could interpret them. I look forward to going back one day and trying to draw it straight underneath with sky as a backdrop.
