Final work

Here are some photos of my final model in various light situations:



As well as the final model photos:





And the sectional drawings (done in the style of one of my previous augmented reality drawings) that details both the effect of early morning light in the building and the access way/stair that leads to the bridge to the tram stop, showing the "gift to the community." (for some reason the blog automatically rotates these photos and doesn't allow me to change it back, inconvenient but I haven't managed to find a way around it.)



Some floor plan sketches done as "working drawings" in order to figure out details like the orientation in rooms such as the kitchen/bathroom and office details in the workshop/studio.

The crit on the 17th October was very informative, I was given a lot of advice that could take my project further. This is an excert from my PDF file submission, the reflective sentence on how the crit went: "In summary, from my Final Crit I have learnt several things I could improve on in my design, as well as which points were strongest. In continuing with this design I would focus on blurring the clear boundaries of my materials, as well as exploring ideas such as the weaving of light and aspects of my building that could be cut out/be pulled out with more focus on the interior environment of the building. I was praised on my consideration of a wider context on the site, recognition of other elements, idea of spaces and the interesting architectural weight within the project. Further exploration would see this design even more integrated into the site and exploring its horizontality. No design is ever finished, not even when it is built, which is an important lesson I have learnt in Architecture so far."
