In preparation for the Interim Critique 4th Nov

INTERIM CRIT 4th Nov - 5CTA1041 Design Studio 3

Please arrive early to be on time for start at 10am. There may be an external guest critic but this is not yet confirmed. 

This is a crit of ALL WORK IN PROGRESS.

You will present the following:

Prepare a 5 minute talk about your work - be prepared to justify your design ideas and progress and intentions 

1. PDF presentation of all work to date. Ensure you have a coherent order of the work - making sense to read, view etc

2. Print out KEY work in progress to pin up/show - this can be A3 size (select with care from sketchbooks and documents you are working on)

3. Site and building MAPPING - links where ever possible to the design concept

4. Accurate drawings of the space, sketch models/models/experimental spatial, concept models, 1 x A3 concept board 

5. CONCEPT - what is your inspiration is, what is your proposal? Although early progress work, you still need to have a clear idea now.

6. Spatial Analysis task - linked where ever possible to the site/concept - ordered visuals and progress

Start preparing this now as next week studio day is spent on own developments and the London trip on Wed.

This is a formative assessment point. Be on time, be clear and prepared. You will absolutely need to spend additional time on this from now through to the 4th Nov. 

Regards,

Heidi

Concepts!

Getting close to CONCEPTS!
21/10/13
Happy with the level of ideas, development - initial ideas taking shape
and very happy with some true level of innovation!
Let the games begin.

1. Drawings in place - 2D working towards 3D (make a model)
CONCEPT!
2. Concept board and documents supporting these ideas
3. Concept model developing from the above
4. Add to design documentation from mapping, site, building
5. Title your concept
6. Edit, tweak, add..

busy busy

Evening all,
Today was very energetic and lively - many good ideas coming through in the work now. Spatial Analysis tasks in tutorials, this needs to be refined, edited and presented - made good and presentable. You may add to the work, but only minor aspects as we are moving swiftly on. It is clear that students who have started to compile the work into coherent slides, files etc are moving faster and in the right direction - do not delay this process as you are getting more and more to do each week.

MONDAY - present the MAPPING from the site, Arcola etc. I want to see clear ideas and ordered mapping that you can describe and defend. What, how, why.. ask questions, have the answers.

You shall also show the Spatial Analysis task in a near complete format of work in progress. Spatial Analysis task should be presented as a pdf/film for now, you will be required to produce an A3 format/task document for this. So set up as such on your computer. You may present this as a pdf, saving time. Try to save the film files as Quicktime if you can. Always have any linked movie files to hand or your film may not show.

MAPPING can be presented as PDF and in any format. BUT have a clear idea of why you present in a particular format - always accompany it with a pdf so you ca project the work. Pin up any sheets/additional work.   Bring masking tape. Starting at 10am. 

You should have technical drawings ongoing - this is crucial. Work together on this and if any information is needed go and find it, inquire and revisit the site if you have to. Do not wait!
I am back at UH on Monday morning.

Later,
H
