Thesis project for my degree in Interior Architecture from UNCG. Designed and build (and 100 page thesis document written) in 10 weeks.
Knife storage. 3500 bamboo skewers, all had to be cut. What a mess!
The following are called Precis.
The word is French in origin, and retains in English most of its original French pronunciation. One who produces a précis on a subject is said to precise (English pronunciation: /prɨˈsaɪz/) that subject.
A précis (English pronunciation: /preɪˈsiː/) is a formal summary of a given subject. A précis does not seek to persuade in regard to a subject, but simply to present it, be that subject an artifact, a person, an event, or even a concept. It should provide the reader an accurate, brief, and well-rounded impression of the subject. Any opinion the writer may hold on a subject should not be reflected in the writing of a précis.
This was a 10 week course where we were required to complete one Precis every week. I think it is a great way to look back and get a good feel for the entire process. (it didn't seem like anything more than something else to overflow my plate at the time... I'm glad I did them. Thanks Patrick!)
