Studio Update 1.11.11 (Part 2)

So after realising the space I had to work with, I chose the layout I felt had the most potential and constructed a rough paper model of the 3D space.

In my next post - which should hopefully be along soon - I intend to fill you in on my final design (which I am continuing to develop) and expand on my thoughts of what my 'Physical Breathing Space' should be!

Studio Update 1.11.11 (Part 1)

Since my last studio update I have developed some of the shapes which derived from lungs into basic floor plans by dividing up the spaces which naturally formed within.

Below are a couple of examples of proposed uses for the spaces.

To help me visualise how these floor plans could become physical spaces, I used tracing paper to layer the plans and create 3-dimensional sketches. I found this quick method of drawing very useful as it is a good way of illustrating the volumes of spaces within the context of the building. Below are just some of such drawings.

Personalising the studio

One of this week's tasks for L3 I&ED students was to populate and personalise our space. After all, we are meant to be creative people, and blank white walls are not a true reflection of this. Some people got together and painted their silhouettes around the room and others created areas in which to display their work & doodles which represented their personality.

I decided I would create a frame (demonstrating my organised and neat characteristics) in which I could show a mood board of current projects, contact information and photographs from my deign processes.

Below are some pictures of my frame which is yet to be filled but includes luggage tags acting as business cards.
