Final Review

That was horrible, truely horrible. The feedback was all negative, and it had nothing to do with the drawings or presentation, they just thought it wasn't a great idea, or that i had too many nice ideas and maybe i should have let some go. I don't think i'm gonna pass this one, i kinda hope i don't scrap a pass, its obvious i have some issues to sort out with my design process. i'll just have to wait and see. I'm glad i didn't waste any time on fancy images now ha ha.

on a plus, my friend Angus met me outside my review with a huge flask of fresh made Mojito, perfect way to forget about a bad day.

Week 16 - Final Review all pinned up

Well i've done all i can. Not happy with what i've got, the drawings are very basic and the presentation is quite vauge. There is no detailing whatsoever. I'm quite happy with how hard i worked though, i've been pulling 12 -16 hour day for the last 3 weeks, but despite that i'm still 3 weeks behind with a building thats not been looked at. Finding it hard to be confident about tomorrow, There is alot of nice stuff already on the walls already.

Cutting corners

I had played to create a series of photoshopped images to conceptually display how the village will work, what the spaces will be like and how they will be used and populated. It's obvious now that i'm not going to have the time, so i've had to cut that corner. Instead i've prepared these sketches, hopefully they'll be successful in conveying my thoughts.

Auditorium Diagram

The Auditorium was designed to be as multifunctional as possible. The upper level has tiered seating while the lower level is uninterupted. Additional seating can be provided with the addition of bleachers or small Stool and Table pods, depending on the capacity required or intimacy?


I've also prepared a diagram highlighting the servises in the building

Coming together

I finally have a building, it's rough at the moment, but its something. I happy with how it works but i know its far from perfect. The floor plans are just about finished, due to the size of the building i'll have to print them at 1-500 scale.
I've also drawn up some rough Elevations and sections, i'm hopeing to give them all some sort of photoshop render to highlight the concrete formwork that will be used.

Interim Review

So today i was supposed to have an interim reviewbut i didn't go! Not sure that was the best idea, but to to perfectly honest i was fucking raging with the email i recieved from a tutor. I wrote to both of them explaining that i wouldn't have full plan section elevations, but i did have a clear diagram of the building like discussed at the end of the last tutorial. The email was form the tutor i'd seen at the start of that session, he had obviously not realised what i'd agreed to produce with the other tutor. His email expressed hi worries, which where extremly valid, But i'm not an idiot, i know i'm very far behind, and some of what was written was in no way supportive, infact one statement was extremely patronising.

I hope i don't regret this descision, but i know i was far too upset and angry to face either of them.
Looks like i've got just over 3 weeks to pull together a building and a presentation, nothing like a bit of pressure eh?

Here are some of the diagrams i prepared.

Althought this is not annotated it displays clearly how the massing of the building will work.
