Truthfully, I’m currently feeling like i’m in need of a full MOT. Ok, so I’ve realised that the workflow that has seen me this far over the past year and half doesn’t seem to be working for me anymore. Made a daft error late last week which has cost me valuable time - in that I complete forgot about the existence of “cad-blocks”, and had been doing some things from scratch that may have been unnecessary. Rhino has also been slowing me down (I really shouldn’t be surprised by this point - I’d been warned by not one, not two, but three tutors of the dangers of digital 3D modelling as primary over the past 3 projects), and I’ve been going off it anyway - certain graphical outputs aren’t working for me as they used to. I don’t know whether it is the tiredness that comes from a long project, or an accumulation, but I feel a genuine creative block on this project that I think started with the Aylesham one.
What have I got for tomorrow? I haven’t worked on the 1-50 since I printed the test off last week, as I’ve been focusing on trying to finish the plans so that I actually know how things will be shown in section (already know the programme just, how to show it). One (and a half) elevations, sans embellishment, and the plans as they are, sans embellishment. I have some programmatic diagrams, but the mapping I’ve started from scratch (at least graphically, as I wasn’t happy with how I presented it the last time). I’m planning on pinning up the WIP scribbles I’ve been using as well, and I think I’ll be taking markers to the 1:50 tomorrow morning once it is all up.
From this point, we have 2 months, that is 8 weeks. That isn’t any time at all. Also, I’ve been typing this whilst watching Apollo 13… that is currently where my sense of humour is.
