Solo Reflection

Group Red Team (Clairissa Anderson, Hailey Allen, Jeff Lynne, Wesley Shamlian) was asked to design a makeshift shelter where people could socialize. With socializing in mind we came up with certain parameters we felt needed to be followed. When thinking about socializing and how people interact when they socialize we decided that our space should be warm, welcoming, comfortable, energetic, informal, relaxed, and meant for two or more people (since you cannot socialize by yourself.) We thought about pre-existing spaces where people socialize and decided that this space should be a size that allows for intimate socializing and a circular shape that makes everyone feel included and involved. Generally in places meant for socializing you see people standing and some people sitting so in our space we are including seating, as well as space enough for people to stand and still be a part of the social gathering. In order to create a larger space that maintains an intimate atmosphere we decided that a darker color scheme would be most appropriate, depending on the materials we obtain.
