AP 2: Pre Project Outline

-

In week 3 I attended my tutorial in which we discussed my project ideas and timescale. I will be designing a library and community hub that will service 5000 residents. I will be required to create 2 elevations, 2 concept drawings, 2 section drawings, a site plan and a 3D model.

In my tutorial we discussed the research work I will be doing, I was given some additional examples to look at which included the existing library in Cromwell. We also went over the mode in which I will present my work, we decided on me doing a combination of hand and digital drawings to better show my skills. Some corrections were made to my timescale aswell, such as the concepts sketches, elevations and sections being completed by week 5, my site map by week 4. My next step after the tutorial was to decide on my dimensions for the building, the demographic of Cromwell and how it can impact my design and my materials. We also decided that my materials can be sourced from both Connecticut and New York State. Finally, my last task was to visit the David Wilson Library in University of Leicester and take pictures. 

Here is the link to my Pre-Project Outline

Beginning Research: Mick Pearce

I am choosing Mick Pearce as he is an architect who has done a lot of work in restoring and transforming buildings (mainly in Central Africa) while also minimizing damage to the environment. In recent years he has done more sustainable architecture involving biomimicry and most recently, passive cooling systems. 'An original and innovative architect, Mick Pearce is particularly renowned for his work on the bio-ecological aspects of the built environment.' (Prince Claus Fund, n.d.). The building that I will be looking at is the Eastgate Centre located in Harare, Zimbabwe because the building takes inspiration from nature which I can also relate back to my project work The Eastgate Centre by Mick Pearce (1996) The Eastgate Centre, which has a total combined floor area of 55,000 metres aquare is a shopping centre and office space located in the centre of Harare. Mick Pearce drew inspiration for the building from nature, specifically termite mounds. Termites build mounds which m...

Initial Ideas (Crazy Eights)

-
Image
After looking at the project brief of the three themes (Primitivism, pop art, industrial) we were tasked with generating ideas based on our chosen theme. I chose primitivism as my theme as I think it gives me a more creative route and the theme is a bit broader than the rest. I started with creating a mind map I wrote down all the things I associated with the theme such as nature, history, land and so on. This helped me not to think too much on the specifics and to see how many different sections of primitivism I could choose from when creating the final project. After that we did a task called 'Crazy Eights' which required us to draw our ideas and develop them within a set time frame as it was supposed to be just a quick sketch of what we were thinking about regarding the project at the time. We folded our paper to get eight different sections for our sketches       I initially thought of African huts so I drew that first then i started to develop on that idea. I thought...

Website Creation: Gallery Portfolio

In this post I will be creating my portfolio and website gallery on my Wix website. I will also be adding my finalised Architecture Project unto the gallery The first thing I changed was the background colour of my portfolio page. I right clicked on the mouse and clicked on 'change background' and selected the colour I wanted. I did this to show consistency with all my other pages and to also make the colour more inviting for viewers.     I then added an image to the page by clicking on the 'Add' button on my left hand menu and then clicked on 'image' and on 'upload image'. I then chose an image of my project from my files. I proceeded to add the image unto my page also using the transform tools to reposition the image to the center. My next step was to create a new page. I went to the pages menu on the left hand margin and clicked on 'New Page' and clicked on it to change the name to my Project name, 'SolarHaven Home'. I then clicked on ...
