Final Adjustments:
Part of the feedback I mostly received from my co-design and Formative presentations was to expand my light projections to consume the whole of Fort Lane rather than just my structure and to balance out the materiality across the structure. To balance out the materiality I have taken Lizzi advice and have incase part of... Continue Reading →

Her work is truly seducing and mesmerising at first glance, giving the viewer the feeling as though the moving image is trying to break free and come towards you in an extremely visceral and physical way.

Redesigning the Form
Version One: Looking at creating a folly structure down Fort Lane, slightly elevated viewing platforms. Feedback: Try and bring some more shape into, go bigger, test how you can connect more ribbons into it. Bit plain at the moment make it more into a feature. Version Two: Adding in more shape and elevated platforms, looking... Continue Reading →

Developing a new concept & programme
After receiving last weeks feedback I decided to come up with a new idea that continues to use the same material and canopy but in a different manner. Sue suggested placing it on ground level to make it more interactive so I decided to move it down to floor level and see how that would... Continue Reading →
Formative Submission
Below is the pitch I read during my presentation. (A horizontal line is used to show when I changed slides) Feedback: I think I received some very helpful and positive feedback from Sue and our guest critics. I had a few questions about how my design works which makes me think I perhaps didnโt talk... Continue Reading →
Writing a Pitch
Using provided prompts and questions we were instructed to come up with a pitch on the spot. We then pitched our ideas in groups to our peers to see how they understand our project from the information we gave them. From there we are to continue refining the pitch.

Script & Temporality
Script: Reflection on doing anotherโs script at site: I really enjoyed this excise as it allowed me to view Fort Lane in a different light.

Following on from Tuesdays exercise I worked at creating a refined scene transition model. Using model 1 & 3 as my starting point I used knife, tape and mirror board to create the models circular frame walls, ceiling and floor. I then cut up different shaped bits of mirror and placed it sticking up from... Continue Reading →
Transitions & Model Making
Below are the notes I took during the transition context talk: We were then tasked to quick fire design and construct three models based on a transitions from your site sequence. These are to be fragments of spatial thresholds - spaces of movement and transitions. I wasnโt too sure on how to tackle this task... Continue Reading →
