Development models

These are some development models I created moving on from my intuative response, looking at how I could create a facade that world replicate and allow the natural elements to filter through the building.

I was really happy with these models and enjoyed using models in the design process.

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.
