brief

section one
title?
end point?
relates to?

For my final major project I want my outcome to be concept sheets and an architectural model inspired by something scientific, I want to develop my style of geometric shapes and break some boundaries that have held me back in my past projects. I want to name my project at the end as I want it to fit the building and have some meaning behind it. By doing these things it will develop my knowledge of working like I would if I did go to university and do architecture as im not a hundred percent sure of what I want to do. Not only that but I will have to learn how to make an architectural model and use materials im not use to using.


section two
influences?
contextual?

The work that will influence me will be the 1920s Bauhaus, by the way they work but not so much the look of their work. The style that will inspire me will be more 1950s brutalist buildings with constructivism from the 1920s as I like the harsh lines and raw materials. These are the works that will be my starting points as they’re all based on architecture and design. I will also look at concept sheets and models when looking around the end of year shows from Nottingham Trent university and Lincoln university. While in the city’s I will look into the museums around such as Nottingham contemporary.

 

section three

techniques?

processes?

 

The range of materials I want to use will mostly 3d as these are the ones I will need to experiment with to see what I want to build my model out of. These will be materials such as, plaster, grey board, architectural board, and acetate and paper mache. These are what I would be using when I go to university and it would be good to see what I like working in and how well they are for my outcome I’m wanting. By using these materials I will have to follow safety procedure such as using the ventilation fan for plaster along with gloves. When cutting the grey and architectural board I will have to use safety gloves with a cutting mat. I will be staying away from 2d techniques such as painting and textiles however I will be using the macs for my concept sheets to present my ideas

 

section four

review?

Id want to evaluate each stage to see if it was working. To do this I would write what I thought about everything I did during the day as a mini evaluation listing what I would do next alongside research that may come in handy. I will also ask other people such as friends and family what they thought of my work once a week to make sure I weren’t getting bogged down or not realising something that I should have done.
