For me Urban Project was the most difficult so far. Maybe christmas break influenced it, because we started really early 4th Feb (and in my country NY is a big celebration, then we have Orthodox Christmas on the 7th Jan and also old NY on the 13th Jan), so my mind was still absorbed with holidays. However, I had to start this project. In my opinion, my A3 research book was very exciting. I combined photographs with drawing, looked at solids, voids, different types of textures. I think it helped me to understand more about the site. After sketchbook, I started to do sketch models. I had several ideas to develop. At first, I wanted to do a simple rectangular shape in the style of 60s. Then I looked through my research, visited site again and decided to work towards round shapes as there were a lot of arches, I decided my model to repeat it as well. As for materials I was thinking of glass, but in the brief it was said that structure should be temporary, that's why I decided to use wood instead, as there was a lot of wood on the site.
My tutor didn't like my final outcome, that's why I am not confident about my final piece anymore. Even though I spent so much time on my model. I learnt from this project a lot. One of the most important things, I started to pay a lot of attention to proportions. My model is 100 smaller than original (1 cm = 1m).
