A Revisited Inspiration
Mr. Jason Young gave a very attention-demanding presentation on his projects as an architect that he has contributed to in years past. The first project for Everyday Cook, was involving constructing a large kitchen for cooking classes to be held in. This project was specifically designed for the experience of the cook and to provide a unique and authentic experience to those who participated in the cooking classes. The other project that Mr. Young highlighted that caught my eye was the Oswego House project. The uniqueness of the house after the project, shows pure architecture and provides an authentic experience to the homeowners. The state of Michigan has many homes that were built and modeled after Frank Lloyd Wright, this house gives a little of that same feel. The large, bold beams and the simple structured living areas give off that same experience as well as the open spaces as you can see in the dining room space with the living room on the other side of the half-wall. Seeing this project reminds me quite vividly of the home of my family that still lives in Michigan. I feel the same experience seeing these pictures as I would if I were to walk into my family’s home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mr. Young’s presentation brought back many memories for me of when I grew up working with my dad on his construction sites. These projects that Mr. Young talked about were right up my alley. Projects like that inspire me to want to be a builder and designer to create an atmosphere and experience that is unique all its own and to create a uniqueness in whoever experiences it. Mr. Young gave a great presentation and inspires me to pursue my passion for design.
