cameron's thesis

Cameron’s thesis project is an advertising agency located in Colfax, NC. His overall concept is about connections and intersections. He is exploring many things under that including public and private spaces, systems and how to create unity in the spaces. He is very interested in hierarchy in the space and will achieve this through level changes, changes in materials and space planning. His project at this point is very interesting and quite complex at first glance. I am excited to see where he will take this. My advice for Cameron at the moment is to explore materials a little more. In doing an ad agency he has the opportunity to pull off some unusual designs.

This precedent study although a residence is very similar to mine in that they took the shell of a Victorian house and made the interior more contemporary in style and layout to suite new needs.
