Site visit...

So we went to see the site today, its kind of dull! Not a surprise there then. This project is about our perception of public space so its starting to get serious already! We had to take into consideration the senses when exploring the site today, this was definately interesting, not somehting that i had considered before. Now from our field trip and observation we are to create a new and dynamic public square..

Will these projects ever finish?!

So were pretty fresh from finishing our last project and they dropped another one on us! I knew uni was gonna be on a whole new level but i thought they would have gone a bit easier on us in our 1st semester atleast!!! Neway thats besides the point! This is the last project before christmas, might as well just work hard and get it out of the way..

So there is my design proposal..ok ok i no the model is pretty rubbish but it was my first attempt at making one, go easy on me! Dont really need to say much, the blue bits represent water! There is an elevated bridge like structure taking you from the entry points to the main grounds, i liked this the most...

I think they liked it...

So i spent the last week trying to make my design proposal more original and groundbreaking! I incorporated an elevated area to go with the slope to the reservoir which worked well, on top of this i considered everything i was told was rubbish with my last design and improved it..i freed up a lot of space, my kids area became a lot more up to date with organic and much nicer play features. But i fink the most successful part of this design is the entry to the park, upon arrival you are forced to take the bridge over the water..i felt this tied in nicely with the reservoir and was bold enough to bring something to the boring park that lied there before.

Epic Space Part B

We got the second part of this project a little while ago and the brief seems fairly straight forward. They wanted us to propose a design concept for the part adjacent to the reservoir. I thought easy! But i was sooo wrong. i just thought of a few simple things and jotted them down, without considering the things the area needed or the originality in my design overall. I didn't think of the more recent movements of the things i was proposing and the whole idea was awful. After this was all told to me by Ed and Bridget i was forced to rethink my whole idea...But that kicked me into place. I started to consider something different and more original!

Guilford trip...

This is a photo of a swan in the canal when we were on the Way & Arunn. I thought it looked really nice so i just took a picture out of nowhere!

Ed! on his mobile, duno who he was talking to though! This was taken on our way back from town one day, what a long and tiring walk dat was...

Unfortunately they are the only photos that i have from the trip, my memory card decided to go AWOL and as soon as i put it in my laptop to save the pictures it told me i needed to format as they were corrupt, SHOCKING!
