Group Project

On the 26th September we were set a new brief, this brief involved us working as a group with the 1st years. In our group there is me, Jamie and Ann from our year, and Dan, Michelle and Lisa are our 1st years. The first week Michelle and Lisa were absent so me Jamie, Ann and Dan were given a client to work for. Our client is an architect. We have to design a home for our clients needs based on the fact that he is an architect. On the first day we came up with a persona for our client, a male batchelor who lives on his own, and who likes modern, sleek designs. We created 2 moodboards and came up with a concept for our idea. On Tuesday we had to do some sketches as individuals and come up with different shapes from our boards that could be used for our building. We went away for the week and created a 3D Concept from our sketches. This is mine:



I came up with this design by using the square and rectangular shapes from our moodboard.

On Monday 3rd October we came together as a group and had a discussion about the shapes we liked and what we would use in our building. We then sketched out some drawings of buildings using the shapes we liked. These are the ideas I sketched-



Then on the Tuesday we selected bits from everyones drawings and came up with a final design.




We then had a discussion of who would do what in their own time, working on peoples strong points and the basis that the first years don't know how to do certain things yet. So me and Ann are doing perspective drawing, Jamie is doing floorplans and elevations in AutoCad, also a sketch up as Dan is using ArchiCad to create a 3D model of our design and Lisa and Michelle are doing scale drawings. This is what i have done so far-


So hopefully on Monday we are able to start our card modelling to scale :D
