So in terms of my design, it has developed a lot over the last few weeks - as already stated in a previous post I have been looking a introducing angles into the design of my container. I have managed to do this by incorporating angled ribbons of glass round the outer edge of the design. I developed the idea for the roof from some small 1:50 models that I finally managed to construct.
Following a presentation from the textile students, two weeks ago, I was inspired to experiment with overlapping fabrics and using tensile fabric to create a design for the interior elements of my designs. By looking at overlapping layers of tensile fabric for the inner walls which will allow light to penetrate the interior space, so the structure takes on a light and airy atmosphere. I was really pleased with the results from the photographs of the models.
I have also been working quite intensely on how my project will be presented as I only have two weeks until I am due to present it to my fellow students and tutors. Currently the idea for the presentation revolves around the shape of the shipping container, and creating banner style sheets which will contain visuals and information in a narrative form. I have decided to use a narrative style to explain the nature of project as the design is for a temporary structure which moves from town to town. I will use time frames to explain how the exhibition works and how it interacts with its surroundings and the public.
