Evaluation!

Overall, the project was both successful and unsuccessful in the sense of teamwork. But managed to finish it off, and it is a strong piece of design, that really made it kind of hard for everyone to focus on one thing hence the distribution of tasks between us as a group/team.

Having distributed the tasks between ourselves, that made it really easy for everyone to know what they were doing or what job they had to do. I think that was a success because if we all talked the design process, as a group, we would have slacked behind.

The floor plan is quite complicated and minimal but tricky if you were the one putting it together, but overall working with Charlie (the wood technician), it made it more accessible because if we didn't know anything, we had to ask. The model took about 5_6 weeks working on it as a group. It's a minimalistic design but yet structural and complex. It took longer than we as a team thought. As the building process went on, we changed a few structures as we went on. Hence the building is the art piece itself.

works/pieces

At the beginning of the project, we had all decided to put at least a portion of work in the space to give it a sense of identity since it was an exhibition space, but have decided on the theme: “OUT OF PLACE”, we thought the pieces should be the piece itself.

As shown, the building process was a bit tricky when it came to the following the drawing plan to produce a more significant component of the design. The angles were a bit hard to put together, but with practice, we just smashed it, and the process got a bit faster considering we were behind when it came presenting the cardboard design.

Being part of the building team has really made me consider what we should or not do.

unsuccessful!

 The coloured pieces shown were meant to be my work, the idea was to add colourful pillars all around the ground floor. But unfortunately, the team members and I figure if the piece is the art itself, it's best we kept it simple and minimal.

Stairs and windows!

The model has a variety of open space, and the windows add that space too! in the sense of light and movement.

As shown me and my building decided that the stairs went going to be painted white just so we could give the model a sense of style and depth. We used wood to make the stairs.

FINAL OUTCOME!

As shown above, the design model was a success and the fact its white, just expands the composition I think. Making it look more like the theme “out of place” as the model is the piece of work, we decided to put too much work in the space would make it loud and have no sense of identity!

INTERIOR SPACE As shown above, took some shots of the interior space, and looking at it I like how the light plays parts in making the model space look more out of place and unusual! The next step here is to paint the design and put works inside that interacts the atmosphere.

DEVELOPMENT 

As shown above, after the easter break me and my team continued to  work on our design. some of the angels were abit tricky to make but in the end, we managed to finish it off.. with just a few adjustments, we changed the way the door looked before to something more complimentary with the actual design.

we used to stick the sides then later, stamped the MDF with small nails that holds them together...in an accurate angle

DIGITAL & MARKETING.

The graphic’s team of the group, shared with us in the group chat of how the leaflets are coming together, as shown we followed the exterior design of the model design. I think the shapes are unusual!

DEVELOPMENT! Having given a 6m piece of wood, we went down to the workshop space and talk to the technicians (me and my team members ) about the measurements, and while doing that, we also started to measure the wood and cut it into desired pieces. Using the cardboard design we made as our starting point. Its easter holidays now, and we couldn't manage to put it together as the workshop space will be closed but as of our first week back from the holidays, we will tackle the model, and it will be done in no time!.

STAIRS? The big scale design didn’t have the stairs as shown but we figured if we first overcame making the model space then we could think about adding the stairs.

CARDBOARD CUT OUT

As shown above, the carton was a starting point to scale how we would want the space to look like. This gave us the scale and composition of how big or small our pieces should be.

Having separated the group into two me and some of my colleagues decided to work on the building and putting together the design. With the cardboard design, Ellena( one of our teammate) measured the lengths and width, so it's easier when taken down to the woodwork studio for scaling up.

INTERIOR VIEW 

the following images are the interior view of how the space design is going to look inside or without having to separate the different floors.

MODEL SPACE CUT-OUT 

Having seen the small 3d model space, we had to separate the group in two separate ones, so we could all have tasks to work on as a team that way, we not behind schedule with others groups. The next week we would have to present out the cardboard cut out for our chosen design.

[rachellethebae]

Didn't get to take a picture for the outcome, but after being introduced to the theme, we as a group, decided to go back home and work out what we would want to do for the model space as a way, we all agreed on one design from out-group colleague whose design was more fascinating and out of place. As we all thought we should take on her plan and work to develop it. As shown above, that was her planning of the building with that, we also got to do a piece of work that I will be uploading.. later on. As shown the small-scale design we all decide to develop. As indicated above, we all wrote down where we would want our pieces of works to be placed in the exhibition space.

lectures & curation 

Within the collaborative project, we had lectures that really inspired us to really be confident, in what we would want out design to look like, but also pay attention to the surroundings that the space mode itself would be surrounded with. So, with the help of  the lecturers, who are also curators gave us their approach to design an exhibition space!

theme introduction to the individual groups

week 1

After being introduced to them out of place, we as a group decided to go back and think about how we would want out model space to look like. Taking the theme under consideration, I drew some sketches in my book and researched for out of place architecture structures and building. Before we came to that conclusion we thought of space and time as the other alternative theme and having given deep thought to it we decided that our area or model should be a piece of work itself and out of place structure.
