Final Project Images.

A few images to sell the concept of the project of Anatomy - building the sense to community and togetherness through visually displaying views to make the residents aware that are normally blinded by familiarity.

Architecture that people can use.

Procrastination can spur on some interesting thoughts. How about spaces that are fully usable rather than just retaining walls.

A big kid's version of Lego.

An interesting concept that gets the mind thinking about how to approach the designing of space. Is this cheating or an ingenious way to double a small flats floor space?

Site Visit.

The new project to sink our teeth into is a Hotel based project located on Bournemouth seafront. The site is approximately 180 meters long and 35 meters wide, this gives a great depth to what can be envisaged on site. 

Here are a few images to show the site and the hideous eye sore of the IMAX cinema.

Some of the images show different weather conditions and this in itself can have varied effects on the site. 

The site is a challenge due to the close quarters of the fly over, however this could be used to the advantage of the hotels privacy and access. 

John Pawson Exhibition.

In January John Pawson held a design space exhibition in the Design Museum in London. The exhibition was interesting because of the concept of the space he explores, using a small palette of colour and materials cleans the space and makes it enjoyable to occupy.

An fascinating concept model where the context of the landscape has been cut to show an approach to the site.

A hotel project in Morocco, this uses an interesting effect on solar gain for the windows from the below image you can see that the window spaces do not look as though they are mesh. The interior still allows light in but at a controlled rate.

The last few images are important because they link to the previous project that was completed on Light, Shape and Colour. this proves how light can be used to clean spaces and accentuate details. Viewing this exhibition has cleared up what spaces need to be like to make them enjoyable for the users of them.

The Senses.

We all know that the senses are the five ways we get through life, Sight, Touch, Hearing, Smell and Taste, they help in recognising what is in front of us. In the project that has covered the last eight weeks you could say that Light, Shape and Colour could replace the senses, but only when viewing things. To explain this further if you look at the first three images carefully, your mind will slowly gather objects and landscapes you have seen previously and re-map them over these images so they become recognisable to your brain. This happens because when one part of the image has been removed the others gain extra abilities to enhance to remaining qualities.
