THINGS TO THINK ABOUT - EXP02 SUBMISSION

Hi all, I thought I’d write some things for you to consider for the experiment 2 submission. If you need to clarify anything, either write a comment on this blog post, or email me at r.kember@unsw.edu.au. I am also happy to help out over the next few days if you get stuck on any parts of your design. Just send me an email.

2 X LABS:

“At either end of your structure of 10 interconnected prisms.” They don’t have to be at either end, they could be on top of each other, for example. As long as:

01 your prisms are arranged in a way that reads as an amalgamation/united combination.

02 there are two areas that each reflect the client / scientist and their hypothesis.

MAKE SURE YOU STICK TO TEN PRISMS!

1 X MEETING SPACE:

“On the land form.” Or, part of your structure could be the meeting space. It just has to engage with the land in a way that”

                        01 “articulates a relationship” to your rectangular structure

                        02 allows each client to arrive from their lab in a “distinctive and significant way”

DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THIS PART. YOU ARE SCULPTORS. REFER TO RUSSELL’S LAND LECTURE FOR EXAMPLES OF WAYS YOU COULD THINK ABOUT SHAPING THE LAND. CHECK OUT SHAOWEN’S AND FRUSZINA’S BLOGS TOO.

BUILDING DETAIL:

01 Should reinforce the electroliquid aggregation that it represents

02 Should be derived in some way from your prism structure. Think about scaling   larger parts of your structure down to create a series of steps, for example…

03 Can be any building element, e.g. Stairs, a ramp, balustrades, openings. HOWEVER, we are not after a massing model /prism structure that is a fully furnished building,. The point of your detail is to enhance / reinforce your overall scheme. So consider wisely what bits of detail to include.

Consider the points at which you take your screen caps – they shouldn’t really be from a point hovering above the ocean - you should use them to illustrate the movement to and from, through and around your structure and land form…Also,  I am happy to go by boat / helicopter to you island, for example! Just tell me where to start on your map.

A good scan and muck-around in Photoshop can improve your axo sketches immensely.

Include all necessary info to your blog in a way that I will know what your hypotheses are and who your clients are. A blurb explaining your design would be good. You might even like to compose your words and images together in Photoshop , like the student examples in Russell’s Elec lecture.

That’s all for now,  good luck!
