Week of October 20-24

Monday October 20th:
In class today, you will conduct an internet search for "recycled furniture". You may select any type of furniture that could be used in the Tiny House. By the end of class today, your group must identify the type of furniture that you would like to build and the source material for that item.

The due dates for this activity are as follows:

10/22: Rough Sketch of object (including dimensions, you need to keep in mind where the item is going to go in the house.
11/14: Material List (refer to the rubric, I would like you to find 10 items that are going to be "re-purposed".
11/21: Scale Drawing of object (final/actual dimensions)
12/05: Material Acquisition (you need to create an inventory of these items and take pictures of them; also keep track of where each item came from.)
01/09: Building Completion

Please use this rubric to design and build your unique piece of furniture that we could use in the Tiny House. We will use this activity to supplement the work that we are doing on the house. Check out the "free" section on craigslist for material ideas. The goal of this project is to take materials that would be garbage and turning them into useable items.  This is called material up-cycling.

Tuesday October 21st:
You will complete a rough sketch of your furniture and begin a material list. We will (in small groups) begin to build the first roof section. This will be built in class, disassembled and then reassembled on the Tiny House! Pictures to follow!
