One of my last projects in my first year was to design an exhibition space, between two warehouses. In Bermondsey, London. Inspired by Haworth Tompkins architects.

The individual task was to pick a letter of the alphabet at random and construct some research in order to select a design of an object which relates to the alphabet, the way we had to produce our task was on the orthographic drawing on a 420x420 scale layout.
I was given the letter K, so there was many words popping into my head like kettle, kit-kat, kitchen, kiosk and after a lot of researching I found the brand Knoll and discovered this table that looks like a K, I know that's an obvious reason but that is my reason.

I had a deadline yesterday to complete two tasks a individual and group task.

The group task was to create a 10 minute verbal and visual presentation in anyway you want so we decided in our group after a number of meetings to create a powerpoint presentation about the Bauhaus, Modernist Movement and Mass Production and then linked them all together.
As one of my tasks I decided to help my group by making a model at 1:4 of a Red and Blue chair, by Gerrit Rietveld.  

So this week has been quite an adventure...

I had two deadlines this week, my staircase and kiosk project. I felt like this would be an easy hand in, however apparently not. These photos show my work produced for these two briefs.

So for the staircase brief I had thought up of a few designs and came to a decision, to create this design. I had some feedback back from it and my tutor said it was bloody brilliant, so that made me smile.

This my information kiosk that I had designed for under the overhang of the front of the National Theatre. And I had successfully finished all my technical drawings, google sketchup drawings and photo shop illustration until the day before the deadline I had realised I made a massive mistake. By making the kiosk somehow twice the size, okay I am still learning the scale in which to make the kiosk but I just felt so bad leaving it like that.

And I came to the conclusion to re-do the kiosk model and designs in one night, and I did it but never again I'm going to make sure next time I double check that I have made everything to the right scale.
