Random Creations?

The project I am working on at the moment of Light Colour and Shape(LCS) is producing external influences to describe the findings within a selection of final pieces. Some example of the ideas that could link well with my focus topics(LCS) are listed below, they are not listed in date order because they are showing the complexity levels of the art. 

Mark Rothko. Light Red Over Black. 1959.
Juan Gris. Glass and Bottle. 1919.
Georges Braque. Gueridon. 1913.

Jackson Pollock. The She Wolf. 1943.

Lyonel Feininger. Bartusserkirche. 1924.

Daniel Libeskind. Imperial War Museum. Completed 2002.


All of the examples predominantly use Colour and Shape to describe the artists thoughts and this is what makes these pieces so interesting. They are not just a random collection of ideas, they use different methods of delivery to allow them to come across as  carefully constructed pieces of work.

CRAB by the Sea.

The AUCB is holding an exhibition for CRAB (office of Sir Peter Cook) which was created by a selection of 6 Architecture students. The exhibition was designed by CRAB but constructed by us, the images show the stages of creation from the first parts of lamination to the finished colourful display tables. The creation of the exhibition allows me to understand certain things that need to be included in producing a smart exhibition.

Colour. Shape. Light.

A couple of captions to get the mind aware of these words within the Chine. Colour is in most of the things we view within the Bournemouth Gardens and throughout the day and night colour is perceived in a different way. Shapes are also extremely dominant in the Chine, the most obvious is the Wave 105 balloon, (which can be seen in an earlier post) because of its dominant size it draws attention away from the gardens themselves. Last but not least is light, the most important element that allows us all to see things. However, this being said the light might not be entirely relevant to the final piece I intend to complete. 






The Chine.

The first semester of year three starts with a 'non-architectural'  project focusing on Bournemouth Chine. The opportunity has been given to write our own learning agreements which allows for a huge scope of possibility. The focus for my own individual project is centred around Colour, Light and Shape. This was realised on my first walk through the Chine covering 2 miles that took the journey North from Bournemouth Pier to the Coy Ponds.

2 Day Skyscraper Task.

Challenge. Design a Skyscraper in 2 days.
Site.      Created site for task near the Gherkin. 

The images below are the creation of the 2nd year model makers after the joint collaboration to design a skyscraper. The brief was to make the tower as complex and fitting as we could imagine so that the model makers would have a challenge.
