IN PLACE OF WEEK 12 STUDIO-Wed 27th May

Studio Team,

Apologises for not being able to run the class today 27Th May, unfortunately I have been knocked out with a cold and I thought it best not to share it with you.

To make up for today's lost studio time I would be pleased to run a session

on Saturday 30Th May form 2-5pm in our usual design studio.

Those  of  you who wish to attend MUST confirm and elect a time between 2-5. I do not want to be in the studio for 3 hours on Saturday afternoon and then have no one turn up.

Please email me your confirmation on 

anitamorandini@ymail.com

Please also include your mobile telephone numbers for ease of communication in case something goes wrong, eg. I cant get into the studio because my swipe card decides not to work.

Thanks for your co-operation and in the meantime use your time productively.

Regards

Anita

WEEK 11 - DIMENSIONS AND PURPOSE

Could all please come to studio prepared to work on their designs and equipped with all the visual material to talk about their design concepts. Don't forget your concept models!

Note a lot of you are struggling with the size of the site as compared with the required areas of accommodation for the project.

If the site is too large, then use your judgement to occupy and design on only part of the site.

Site 1 is 80m in length , you will struggle in attempting to design all of it. 

Also all of you should have your site and surrounding context diagrams completed to use and support your design propositions.

Please don't do dead analysis but rather make observations of the site , surrounds, history of the place and your precedents. At the same moment always asking the questions , how will this be relevant to the project, how does it impact on the project , how does it give form to the project?

Lastly work with purpose and vigor!

WEEK 9 -ART GALLERY SHOP/HOUSE

Design team,

Please come to studio prepared to explore.

Come armed with:

- precedent studies of relevant art galleries, shops and houses

- prepare parti diagrams of the precedents

- visit and select your site prior to class

- prepare site analysis and importantly make observations and conclusions about the site to generate a design approach.

- photograph your site and its surrounding context

- pin up all your information on the studio walls ready to start at 2.

We will have a working session , so bring the usual paper,pins,tape,pencils

Also don't forget you must upload your presentation from last week!

I look forward to your observations and insights.
