Notes from week one
Set goals: show the process, leave traces of process along the way
What is your spatial practice (community of practice)?
Interior design
Interior space in a domestic setting - reconfiguration, refit, restructuring, renovation
Space/structure relationship with light
People/place
Time
Feelings/emotions - wellbeing
Materials/materiality
How can I reconfigure the space alongside my created intervention, so that, the most important/used/needed spaces benefit from the abundance of light?
3M Meeting
Scale
Scope
Program or user/inhabitants
How well do you need to know them?
What do they need?
How you design is the method.
I am only going to use...
I am only going to make...
Process - don’t just make a final model
Keep making
Making as a means to discover
Shaping a portfolio
What is the material you explore light with? - the surface plane
The material/s that construct that space - multiple materials can offer different spatial qualities
Shaping with the formwork (light as a material)
Temporal properties
The dwelling being the framework
Don’t assume materials don’t change or are permanent
Spatial design draws in the subjective
How do I perceive the world?
What a space has to offer to you?
Builds a narrative of what you privilege in the space.
How does a model reek (speak/shout) of your concerns?
For next week:
In class close reading of frascari text
What is he saying?
Familiar/unfamiliar to me
Value it has to me and my project?
How my project engages with detail?
Can use a material something. Translates reading into something physical.
Qualities he speaks of?
Use him as a material to speak about your site.
Direct way to link reading to project.
Temporal condition to consider (light as material)
Where/what do I want my design skills at the end of the project?
New Program?
Get better at something?
Start early
