Visual exploration and explanation
Community
Community is a unified body of individuals. The differences between people within a community allows for each individual’s true colors to show. Everyone is as unique as a Fruit Loop, but when all the different colored Fruit Loops come together in a bowl filled with milk they are connected by a common diversity.
Stewardship
Stewardship is the responsibility to take care of something entrusted to one’s care. Everyone in the world takes part in something within their community whether it is a small act of kindness or a large act of generosity. Taking part in something bigger than one’s self and utilizing one’s potential allows for the maintenance and improvement of the world as we know it. Bats are a perfect example of this; they fly around during the night doing their part by illuminating mosquitos allowing us to enjoy our evenings. Although this is a natural process they have been continually doing their part and when something works it should continue.
Innovation
Innovation is the introduction of something new. As time moves forward the things we experience in life constantly change. An invention of the past becomes an innovation of the future by being adapted and evolving in ways in which enhance it. in other words if you are able to use the phrase “ the best thing since sliced bread” then what you are experiencing must be ground breaking and a success in itself
Authenticity is the real or trueness of something. As the world moves forward one thing remains constant, one thing happens no matter what and it is this thing that cannot be faked and it is life. In the beginning of life everything starts the same. We all start out as an egg and develop into an original being. This ability to be generated has survived the test of time and will continue to be genuine.

WEEK TEN: what people are working on for their final
Here is some of the thing my classmates are working on for their final furniture prototypes. were are allowed to design anything as long as it is considered furnishings. This is just the starting point of what people are going to have. I can't wait to see the final products. Good luck everyone!

WEEK SIX [bookSMART]
ABOUT THE DESIGN
Book smart: being able to succeed scholastically but not necessarily in the real world.
This definition inspired me to think about students; their necessities and what they, as college students, are exposed to on a day to day basis. As a large part of the education system students are required to purchase and use textbooks as a way to further their understanding of specific topics. Generally, students are able to sell back their no longer needed textbooks, but this is not always the case.
This being said, what happens to the textbooks that are no longer in use? This is where they term “book smart” came into play and is being redefined in the sense of reclaiming out of date textbooks and using them to create something new, unique, and sustainable.
As my design developed I was able to propose a seat that captures the process in which a textbooks life is based upon. In the beginning it is full of new and important knowledge, within several years, new editions are being developed, updating and adding to this knowledge, making the previous textbook invaluable. This seat depicts the solidity and importance on one end providing seating for people. As the seat progresses it begins to disintegrate into an insignificant state, which then allows for the new function of shelving.
SPECIFIED FURNISHING
Folding bookshelves is an adaptable yet simple shelving system which allows for various miscellaneous items to be displayed. Because this is a retail space that provides a wide variety of goods this system can provide a flexible way in which to display them.
