The project is ramping up rapidly now - despite the campus closure due to England’s aversion to snow. Last week was predominantly model making - both a 1:200 site model which was fabricated using both a CNC router (for the pine base) & laser cutter (for perspex & MDF pieces); along with plaster casts of 25x25x15mm & 50x50x15mm cuboids for volumetric concept modelling.

Translating my initial intuitive models to 1:200 site based concepts was, and still is a bit difficult, but I’m getting there. Having gone through 3-4 iterations (both physical and/or CAD based), there are still problems with my current iteration that I will have to fix on the go as it were. The crit is <2 weeks away, and we have a mini-brief for Technology to complete in that time as well if memory serves. There is also the continued Communications task, based around the keyword/concept of ‘folding’, (which I have attempted to wrap into the main project) we’ll see how that turns out.

I’ve had to take some personal time these past two days as I’ve had a pretty rough week and a bit, nothing major; just a lot of soul searching and a desire to put myself back on track. I really am grateful for the friends I have.
