ID CONTEXT – Post Card

“What is the future of hospitality in relation to human occupancy and in-habitation?” Using past patterns and present design I will research this question and then use this to develop my design for a place to stay. However I cannot choose my protagonist, at random we were given post cards with the profession of out […]

ID PLACE – Visuals

Due to doing most of my work digitally I have decided to include all of my visuals on a blog post instead of printing them off for my sketch book. This is because I have done some of them twice and they have all be edited a lot on photoshop. FacadeThe image above is taken […]

Material Research – Rope

For the netting above the glass for people to lay on I want to use a thin rope because it will be strong enough. Rope is a bundle of flexible fibres braided together to increase the strength and length of the rope. People have used rope for climbing since prehistoric times which proves it can […]

Material Research – Glass

Glass is vital part of my design because I have replaced one of the floors with Glass. It is known for being a material that breaks however it is possible to get really tough glass that can be used for aquariums and bridge. Glass is made using three ingredients; Formers The former used in most […]

Material Research – Wood

I choose to use wood in my design because it has a warmer colour to it that concrete or steel. If treated correctly wood is strong and last a long time which is perfect for furniture, however if left in the damp it will rot and go mouldy. Wood has played a critical role in […]

Material Research – Steel

I have chosen to include steel in my design because it links to Sheffields History. When Park Hill was first built the main industry in Sheffield was the steel works and many of the original occupants worked in steel factories for their only income. Steel is an alloy of iron with about 1% carbon in […]

Material Research – Concrete

Concrete is the obvious material to research because the structure of Park hill is made out of Concrete and it is listed. Concrete is made up of three basic ingredients; Portland cement The cement is mixed with water to form a paste that sets and binds the aggregates together. Water Water reacts with the cement […]

THEORY – Portfolio Presentation

This wasn’t a full lecture rather some inspiration for the latter projects in the year and how to present our work. We were shown a few other students portfolios which I can’t blog as they were paper copies however this will help me in future projects to present my work.

WORKSHOP TRAINING

This blog post is just a short blog post to confirm I attended both of the workshop training session and the laser cutting session meaning I can use all of the equipment I got taught on, this was before the workshop practice I have already blogged about. Some of the things I have learnt are; […]

THEORY – Narrative

This lecture was looking at the story behind a design. The piece of work that stood out the most to me is by OMA PRADA which is one building which can be transformed into four different building for different things. Another example is The Museum of Stolen Art which is a virtual museum for Art […]
