final credit review studio 3d

Well today was the final review for the studio 3d 'undergraduate thesis' project. I think it was a generally positive review, they particularly commented on the graphic quality of the presentation. However, there was some criticism, mostly that my presentation didn't reflect the overall scheme but instead focussed on specific points, losing some of the strength of the concept. I think that this is a fair criticism to make and in hindsight I might have made a few different choices with images to correct this.

Overall I'm quite happy with how it went, I think the project is successful and it's something that I'll be happy to have in my portfolio.

last few days

It's Saturday night and the final credit review for the studio 3D project is on Tuesday. I'm just putting together my sheets at the moment. I've decided to include some hand drawings too after looking back at my portfolio so I hope that works out well.

The above image is one of 28 285x285mm squares which make up my wall presentation. This one is a sectional axonometric view of a tower on the river which supports new events which I've introduced on the water and also acts as a beacon, directing people towards the site.

rothesay pavilion

I visited Rothesay on the Isle of Bute today to see the Rothesay Pavilion. It is a good example of waterfront architecture in Scotland. It is in fairly poor condition currently which is sad but it is quite easy to see why this would have been a special building when it was built in 1938. It consists mainly of a circulation block which runs perpendicular to a large hall on the first floor.

I had never been to this building before but I was really impressed by it. It has a very strong character but manages to fit into its surroundings well and really gives the impression of a building designed for function and events.
