Another presentation bites the dust!!

Yep another presentation! Sustainability this time. I am pretty sure this did not go well at all..our efforts for this presentation were lackluster! The contents of our presentation were good however we simply did not have enough of it! We also lacked a thorough understanding of what we were supposed to do resulting in us missing out on presenting some vital information we had in our slide show...we got to work harder next time team!

Liverpool, New Brighton

This is the starting point of my route to the site where this project is based. I chose to start the the towns train station!

I like photographs that are low down on the ground..This is at the top of the high street next to the train station. This area was not really anything interesting.

Waterloo road! This is the road that links the high street to my site for this project! I love old road signs like this, unfortunately there scattered around the side roads these days...

This is the Castle that sits opposite my site. Its a focal point in my design, a place that i feel can be very interesting. Incorporating this into my design will be my main focus, i think this can unlock the potential that this area really has!

Jaspal just looking across the water. I felt showing this picture can show how deprived and un important this area really is. You can see the outdated banisters, not only is the design rather depressing and boring but it clearly is not cared for, the paint has chipped all over the place and its as if nobody cares..to be brutally honest i can understand why, the area does not really have anything going for it.

Liverpool trip! Manchester...

This is a piece of art i think :confused: it was very interesting to see such a thing in the middle of a shopping area, it really proved that the whole had been renovated! It gave a nice separation to the hectic shopping area! It was kind of dangerous though! The individual things were not attached to the ground, they rocked when i tried walking across! Maybe i was not supposed to do that..

It looked amazing from every angle! I really liked this piece of functional artistic sculpture, to put this kind of thing in they landscaper design worked really effectively, I'm going to consider things like this in the future if i feel its appropriate.

This was another piece of clever Landscape design. It was a sort of extended bench right in the middle of a square..At first i thought it was so odd but it made sense, it was a clever use of the space as it allowed the people from the area to come and enjoy their breaks in a visually nice place. The seating feature itself was nicely designed as well it its raised and cut in areas, i liked this a lot!

Looks like Fahin is having fun on the bench, i felt it looked like a surf board so i asked him to jump up for a photo!i thought the design of the bench was interesting, i didn't see how it fitted in with the area however, but it was aesthetic.

This is a photo of me feeling sorry for my poor feet! i decided to buy shoes that were tight cause they did not have my size and then wear them on a long walk, how stupid of me!

Final brief!

I have been waiting for this day a long time now! Can't believe it is actually here now..so what is the final brief? We have to create some kind of public space or feature where our route from town meets our site. We can do what ever we wish within reason! This should be interesting for sure, i wonder what i will choose to do! i wanna get stuck in straight away...

Going to liverpool!!!!

Found out recently that we are going to go to Liverpool for "work", yea right mate! This should be fun..but need to make sure i do all my work as well, cant get too carried away!

Brighton: from the station to the sea...

This is part of the work that i done for the Project at Brighton. I took loads of pictures along my route from the station to the sea..from this i used some in photoshop to see what kinds of effects i could achieve..i like it very much.

This is a small selection of the photos that i chose to do, but i feel that these are the most effective. This was a digital project so this kind of work was completely appropriate..In addition to this, instead of having a normal map from the station to the sea i done a 3D one on rhino with raised buildings and an animation..unfortunately for me i do not know how to upload these..

History and Culture essay..

Well i had to hand in my history essay today..cant believe i didn't get the books for the reading earlier! stupid me left it thinking that the library is going to be open over the Christmas and new year period, what was i thinking! Anyway i done it all on the last day :) was up till 7 in the morning finishing it, and it was due at 9! I do not wanna do that again! But i think my essay was well written, guess im going to have to wait and see what happens!
