füd

      OK, here is my first post of some of my work-work (not student work) that I did for my internship with Mills Group LLC. The project was simply to upgrade an existing farmers' market, adding shade structures. In this proposal for an RFQ, we proposed photovaultic cells, a water-catchment system, and sustainable shade structures where tree plantings were not an option, while encouraging alternative uses when the market is not in session. We opted to stay away from photo-realistic renderings to come across as loose and flexible, as this project is still in its early phases.

       We did win this project with these graphics, and I believe we were up against somewhere between 4-5 other firms. Since this plan, a new one has been revised to feature one large shade structure as opposed to the two separate.

This is what Delegate Charlene Marshall, D-Monongalia, had to say about the designs, "I think it's a wonderful thing for the community and when you look at the diagram and see the architectural drawing and the fact that there are so many possibilities to use it for other than Saturday's market, just here today I heard so many possibilities that may be explored."
