Reflection Piece II

 

 

For the second week back at college, I was just continuing with the project that we'd started in the first week. So now i needed to finish off my hand drawn elevations and then start creating 3D visuals for the interior of New Road Primary School.

 

What i thought went well during the last week is starting my 3D visuals so the client has something to look at. This is something i enjoy doing as i work well when using Google Sketchup, however there are aspects i would like to improve in my sketchup work such as the proffessional look and the lighting.

 

With the deadling fast approaching, im looking to get my 3D visuals finished early in the week so that i can concentrate mostly on putting all the designs together and making them look good for my client.

Reflection Piece

During the first week back we were set with the task of writing a reflection piece for the previous week, which would encourage us to be more confident when talking about our own work and in the long term, aid us in going for interviews.

So for my first week back, we've been set with a project for a local school, in redesigning their reception and staircase area. One of the aims of this project is to refresh ourselves with the skills and techniques needed on this course after the long summer break. On a site visit to the school we had a look at the two areas we would be working with and took the required measurements for these. By doing this is gave us everything that we needed to start constructing out floor plans and elevations and then eventually the generation of ideas.

What worked well during these first two days was the communcation between everyone, whether it was when we were at the school and taking measurements, or back at college and talking about what we feel should be done with the areas, both aspects were communicated very well. What i would like to achieve in the next week is to get my ideas generated and start to see them taking shape.
