Week 10 - Interim presentation and reflections






My final panels I think work well visually. I tried to incorporate a few elements that allude to movement and also are indicative of my node's activity.

Feedback from Zuzana indicated that I need to work on my graphic presentation re my sections in order to show more depth and distinguish placement of certain elements. She also suggested that I think about where I want to site my building for Project 3 and the relationship flooding has with it, as I explored advancing and receding in this assignment.

Structurally, the device would have worked better if there was rigid framing in the centre to help distribute load more efficiently.

From other students' work, I think the idea of folding and bio-mimicry are ideas I'd like to explore. Folding in particular as the materiality of my design is well suited to that (although I obviously won't be using cardboard as my whole building, I think elements of folding that are translated into other materials will be interesting to explore).

After working on this small node for so many weeks, I'm really pumped to start on a large scale design, as I feel the last two projects were particularly difficult for me as I'm admittedly terrible at small-scale architecture. I already have some ideas about which architects and buildings I want to look at but I guess that all depends on the brief we get.
