RURAL IN(Flux) / Negotiating between radical change and a history of stasis

This semester I have been taking Pre-Thesis and developing a proposal for my thesis which I will be working on until January. We had a "Science Fair" yesterday to show where our proposal is currently at. This is the board that I presented for the discussion. The feedback I received was really helpful for me, and I think I know where I will be moving forward. At this point I have to figure out how this doesn't just become an Urban project, but how I can use architecture as an agency for change.

I am sorry if the image is not of high quality; I had to save it down to fit.

Here is my latest attempt any thoughts?

New portfolio website

I updated my portfolio to the following website. Let me know your opinions or if something isn't working.

Platform bed

Here is some ideas for my bed I am designing for product design

Updates on thesis

Got a review in a few hours. Wish I could work at this pace all the time. I almost like the raw renders more than the montage versions.

Website Example

Here's a website from a critic I had last quarter and a candidate for tenure as OSU. It's simple and clean.
