Cassandra’s concept word was Ignite. Like Blaneni, Cassandra made use of associative words to help her with her designs these include: provoke, inflame, and evoke, also in that order. For her first space Cassandra wished to provoke feelings of passion for nature. Further inspiration come from the grand scale at which nature’s beauty reveals itself to us. The idea behind her second space was on of contemplation, and the ability to evoke an idea, and feelings of anticipation as on moves from one activity to the next. Her third space is inspired by the idea of the new arising from the ashes of the old. The word inflame is used to embody a feeling of old world comfort with a modern pulse. Much as one’s body temperature rises, and pulse quickens when excited by something or perhaps even someone.
Cassandra makes use of the two columns and a wall in her first space. These evoke her ideas about nature through the rough edge (mountains) on her wall that separates the bathroom from the rest of the space, and the scale of her two columns, which are “as big as trees”. In her second space she makes use of one of her two walls to house a huge contemporary fireplace. This interpretation of inflame is a bit literal for my taste, but nonetheless it does putout the warmth and comfort on which her idea is based. Her third and final space makes use of the two solids. These take the form of a distinct level change and a partition wall. This level change and partition wall are intended to evoke feelings of anticipation as one makes the transition from one activity to the next. Over all I found that the axons and the sections in Cassandra’s project were the most helpful in communicating her ideas. I also felt that Cassandra’s spoken presentation went very smoothly, and the visual cues from her drawings and carefully crafted drawings were very helpful
