I am a 3rd year Architecture student in Strathclyde University, Scotland. We have just completed our first semester which consisted of 3 design projects, along with class assignments. These projects were completed over a period of 14 weeks. They were as follows
- 3A - 2's Company - A 4 week project to design 2 small houses with work space. This project was completed in pairs.
- 3B - To Live/To Work, Masterplan.
- 3C - To Live/To Work, Urban Housing. B+C formed one project derided in 2. The first part being an investigation into the nature of what it means to live and work in the urban realm leading to the second part, a detailed study and critical enquiry into the programmatic typology of urban housing. Part B was completed in groups of 4 while part C was an individual housing scheme.
All projects where based in Glasgow City. My tutors decided on themes at the beginning of semester 1 which ran through the initial projects and will continue through this one. The themes were assigns so as to keep a consistency through the 4 projects. We were asked to look at the city of Glasgow under 4 headings.
As part of this years final project, 3D - To Play, I have decided to record the design process by means of this blog. The project will run over a period of 16 weeks. During this time I hope to note all the key aspect of the design process, what direction I am going, and why I have chosen that route. My aim is to update as regularly as possible.
