FINAL PROJECT
Today we discussed our final project with tutors and found the strengths in our design. For me these were:
MOVING ROOMS- Can be detached from the building and taken to a new site/ location.
USE OF LIGHT- Moving parts change light entering the building.
STRUCTURE- Floor and ceiling are the same because of hollow blocks.
My statement so far:
My project is about the gathering and gifting of space. Four rooms have the ability to be detached from the building and transported to the colleague's wishful site to allow them to work with their projects.
The structure is situated by an apartment block close to the old railway station. This position fits the purpose of the design because the train can be used to carry the detachable room to new locations.
The location was also a good choice because it gives access to the colleague's needs which are all in a ten minute walking radius.
To create a threshold I attached the structure to the apartment building to provide a sense of new and old. To contribute to the sense of space the light levels inside the building will change because of a moving system. This gifts space because the only way space is visible to us is through light, thus the changing light levels can give the sensation of a changing space.

PEER REVIEWS PROJECT 4
For project 4 i was reviewing a group on augmented reality. After seeing these I realised the amount of development now being undertaken now than when I did the project at the beginning of semester.

Yiheng produced a portion of stairs for his 1:1 that was from his second life creation. I was impressed by the stairs because they weren't just the ordinary set of steps. Each step had been connected to the next step diagonally giving a contemporary or even futuristic style. Everything had been properly and neatly assembled making the steps a functional model.

Tessa decided to make her 1:1 a tensile structure that would cover the bridge and capture the change in light as the train moves through the incased tracks. To show this in her final model she stretched fabric completely around different shapes to reveal the effects. Her shapes included concrete blocks, aluminum sheeting and large wooden prisms. I found it a very interesting project when the halogen lamps turned on inside, projecting this tightly wrapped shapes on the inside of the fabric.

Unfortuantely William didn't turn up so i will try to hunt down his blog in the mean time.
