Intuative Response.

This was my final intuitive response, looking at how the nature developed over the site as the seasons changed.

I really enjoyed doing a piece that was completely abstract to anything I've done before, it really helped to get my creative side flowing and get me excited to get stuck into the project.

Library Study

We were asked to analyze certain libraries, I got the stockholm library.

I was abit disappointed with the feed back I was given, I felt I worked hard on several images like the one shown above only to for them to be overlooked in my presentation of them.

I've got quite afew changes to make on my analysis for it to be a successful project.

The Wonders of the Internet

I've been browsing round the web all day today looking for precedence and other things. I came across a couple of interesting bits and pieces.

It's interesting how many of these simple little squares are immediately recognizable as the architects they represent.


This is the alphabet made from looking up at buildings from street level, brilliant.

Mapping.

This intuitive response seems to have taken over my life at the minute. Heres a really interesting video about mapping sound..

Intuative Response Part 2

I was looking at mapping and how things naturally occur so I decided to drop into water and see if I could control the outcome in some sort of way. This is the results.

Cambridge.

I'm going to do a proper post for my trip to Cambridge later but I thought I'd stick this on first. It made me laugh, it's me sat on a childrens climbing frame in the Acordia housing development.

This was the view from our studio this evening.

It was a really beautiful and quite inspiring moment.

Diagram.

I while ago I wrote about Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man and about diagrams. I've had a go at doing a sort of Parti diagram for my latest project. I'm really pleased with it.

Holbeck Model

This is a concept model I did for my latest project, 'Holbeck Heritage' I was trying to look at it as a volumertric study, aswell as a material one. I cut up some old bricks I found near my house.

I was really pleased with how it turned out.

Liverpool trip

Afew snaps from Liverpool, I've only been to Liverpool once before and didn't really remember much of the city. It was the European capital of culture afew years ago and because of that alot of money got spent on the city centre. It's a really enjoyable place to be and look really great. However the weather wasn't really at its best when we were there which spoilt alot of my photos.

Something that I did pick up on was the stark contrast created by the two 'done up' area of Liverpool and the areas where money hadn't been spent. It was really rundown and was quite disappointing in comparison.

Anyway heres afew snaps.

Costa in the new One Centre.

I know this isn't the best photo but I just had to try and get across the scale on the Anglican Cathedral. It was unreal.

Inside the Anglican was pretty special, I'm not overly religious or anything but I found it hard not to believe in something when in a place that epic.

The Catholic Cathedral is interesting.... I'm still not sure if I like it, never the less it created a greate contrast with the Anglican one.

This is a quick sketch I did of the Anglican, I was pretty pleased with it.
