THE REFLECTION

There are things I had wanted to do that I didn’t get around to, which is disappointing, however given the circumstances, some of it could not be helped.

With the final project, while I think a lot of the base is largely resolved, I think the refinement is still lacking in many areas and I didn’t truly resolve my material finishes to the level I would have liked. These moments have all be learning points as to where I put the most energy.

The final model is something I would have liked to have done more for, but due to a lack of care when laser cutting, followed by the lockdown and time, it didn’t quite go as far as I would have liked. I had wanted some surrounding buildings and to add the facade finish to the model.

This studio has taught me to design more from the user standpoint, where the user is one with completely different needs than my own. I’ve learnt about structure and how to consider and accommodate those elements.

I’ve also learnt a lot about physical modeling, especially to problem solve and to generate ideas, as well as more practically to work more efficiently with hand-modelling. I’ve also learnt more about my preferred graphic style and that it’s still changing. Getting to do something slightly different with style and building type from previous work has been a fun challenge.
