So this is the first real physical design Ive had in a few months....I finally managed to gain access to the two retail units in Barnsley, so spent a Friday morning measuring the space in order to create a basic model. The ideas behind the design are linked the the Olympics and the five rings. Although they have become slightly distorted and are slowly moving away from that theme...but it was a useful way to begin my design process.
Before I was able to even create this 3D max model, I used a combination of paper and card to develop shapes and ideas that could be then translated into the 3D model. I have included a couple of examples below for you to browse:
Im really pleased with the way my final project is developing and the ideas that being generated. The fact the site is within my local town has also helped me contextualise the project, and draw inspiration from other projects within the area.
I am also beginning to make some progress on the written element of my thesis. I have decided to research into regeneration projects and their affect of communities...this has been partly influenced by the proposed regeneration of Barnsley, which would encompass the site I have chosen for my design project.
Anyway I will update again, probably towards the end of the project when my design is more advanced...
