[back 2 your roots]

Following the concept of taking a look back into our grad school years, geared our minds toward our visit to Northern Guilford Middle & High schools. We were to choose 2 items that defined "school" to us. I choose a compass & ruler....reason being, they are a couple of the most complex tools introduced to us at a primary school level, in which we may not understand there true value, but these tools remain in our lives & rise in significance, especially if you enter the design field! Following our selection, we were instructed to sketch 8 contour drawings, extending that to a total of 128 equisse of each item, then break that down to 16 interesting images, analyze those 16 then break those 16 to 8 interesting images, ending with 4 main images that should influence our design of passageways within institutional design.
