2.0 Environment
Project Development// CARC7003// CIND7012 Introduction For this project you are defining and refining the general theme of your research, working towards the main focus of your output for the end of year show, and you will be engaging more closely with ideas of context through your design work. You will be taking the most fruitful and interesting aspects of your work in the first term, being critical and evaluative of that work and selecting an aspect to take forward, to develop and adapt the research you have already progressed to a more defined investigation, again with a tangible outcome. This time you will be working collboratively with others in a defined reseach cluster of three students within your chosen units.
Brief
To design and make a responsive spatial experience in relation to a particular site which challenges your perception of that space through 1:1 testing and prototyping.
Context
What does responsive mean? What does environment mean? Your work will be interactive and immersive, it must be a spatial intervention responding to your site with its own conditions, be it very site specific, environmentally specific, such as changes of heat or humidity, interactive with users, or change over time, or very specific needs of particluar users in a chosen community. The environment can be can be created through tectonic, filmic, electronic, biological or kinetic means, it can engage with issues such as sustainability and heritage, but must demonstrate some kind of very specific experience, marking it out from other work that has been progressed in your field, of which you will be more and more aware as your knowledge of your chosen field improves. It is up to you how you develop your interest but it should be rich and engaged with the experimental outer realms of contemporary design thinking. Be aware of what is entirely special about your work and how it develops our perception and understanding of space.
Outcomes
This project is designed to comply to the unit aims and learning outcomes of units CARC7003// CIND7012,following the completion of which you will be able to engage in experimental and exploratory processes in the development of an MA standard project, both practically and theoretically and critically reflecting on that process at assesed moments. You will be able to develop an advanced knowledge and use of materials, processes and techniques appropriate to the project proposal at MA level. Through your practical and written work you can gain a clear understanding of the critical context of relevant contemporary practices and the particular significance within this of the research proposal. You will, through the thesis and thessis review process, be able to reflect and explain your work in the appropriate practice context, coherently and thematically. Through your research clusters and the review process you will demonstrate your ability to work independantly, manage your workload and meet deadlines.

Site
It is up to you how much your site infiltrates your work, but context is of course of utmost importance in both Architecture and Interior Design. We cannot work without it. We are interested in you developing a thorough understanding of a site through your work and in collaboration with your research cluster. We are organising two different study trips for you so you can understand the diversity of space and conditions you might interact with. We think you might be interested in looking at a variety of conditions. London is a world city, has been inhabited from prehistoric times and has been a major urbation for thousands of years. It has, for much of those, depended on the River Thames as a source of commerce and transport. The conditions you will come into contact with have arisen from the ebb and flow of this relationship with the river and its hinterland. On the first visit you will come in contact with the trading parts of the city, the meat market and the fish market. Both spaces are surrounded by spaces of a difference kind of commerce, that of finance and the service industry. There is word these historic spaces of London will be moved even further out of the city to the hinterland, the estuary of the Thames, at Dagenham. The second of your site visits will be to Seasalter and Whitstable, much more close to home, but again, on the Thames, and will give you another version of this locality and environment as a potential source of further study for you. There is lots to sink your teeth into, you might even be a bit spoilt for choice!

Think carefully about how you might like to document your site, through film, photography, drawing, are there other means of recording you might progress to help you? In what way would you like to work contextually? If you are developing an interest in an alternative site, do discuss this with your tutor. This will be a really good opportunity for you to augment your made work with more 2D representational information through studying the existing fabric of the site, working with scans, archive information, photography, mapping, representations of sound and intangible information. Bear in mind you are producing a site specific, dynamic, human scale experience. The site might inform your work in a different way, through colouration, lighting, materiality, form or movement. But be Feb 10, 2020 03:36 Scale 1:400000 a little adventurous, ask a few questions and see where50you get to. Lucy Jones 0 km

Mode of practice
You will be working in research clusters of three with common and compatable aims. The tutors will steer this but to get the best possible outcome there is a clear process, involving the following activities:
13/2 & 27/2
A. Site visits: Attending 2x site visits and progressing individual research during study week
24/2 & 28/2
B. Thesis Review: Each individual presents their reflection on their progress so far in design and hsitory and theory and how their interests might develop. It is important you see each other’s presentations at this point. You must attend your unit’s entire session. C. You will be issued with a Thesis Supervisor (your written dissertation) This will be individual and not tied to your cluster
4/3 & 5/3
D. Unit progress review: Individual presentations of each student in the unit by the unit tutor. Please bring along: 1. Your laptop with your blog open on it 2. Your site research printed A3 3. Your Thesis Review slides printed A4 4. What you would like from your cluster, printed on A4 5. Reflection on why you chose your unit and your progress so far (this may be in your Thesis Review images) printed on A4. 6. What you want to investigate moving forward Again you must attend your unit’s entire session.
4/3 & 5/3 9/3
D. Issuing of research cluster lists via MyUCA E. Submission of 5 A3 page project proposals. Crit Room at 10am. Bring paper copy and usb. 1. Bringing forward from the previous project 2. Site and culture, engagement and public 3. Craft and fabrication 4. Technology and innovation 5. Roles, time planning and goals
11/3 & 12/3
F. Round table reviews of the project proposals with unit Tutors. Please bring A3 printed project proposal documents G. Tutorials and Reviews in clusters. H. Reviews will be in clusters
15/5 & 18/5 28/5
Outcome
H. Final Thesis Review: This will be an individual presentation. J. Portfolio Hand in. This will be an individual document. Linked work and coherent projects in research clusters of three students each which satisfy Culture, Technoogy and Craft. Portfolios are submitted and assesed individually but you can work on your film together. Part of your assesment will be your ability to manage. If there are problems, we will manage on a case by case basis and a working solution for one group may not be possible for another. Be patient with the process and each other and this is a positve and supportive learning experience all round. Please record notes of meetings as these can go into your portfolio as documentation of managment and professionalism.

Evidence of engagement with research into the field you are exploring through diagramming, photographs and case studies. 7. Diagrams and presntation information from Thesis Review process: How does your work locate itself with technology, culture and craft? Here you also need to present work about how you are managing your research cluster. 8. Design development drawings, with notes and appropriate level of detail. 9. Documentation and analysis of all physical fabrication tests & prototype pieces 10. Appropriate forms of documentation of the experience of the created environment. 12. Evidence of self management: this should include images from engaging with reviews, presentation and also contributing to other groups feedback. Meetings, minutes, notes, roles and task mangement. This can also appear on your blog.
Drawing
D. A1 Plan drawing communication of the experience of the environment in situ/ responding to site, presenting the use and interaction of the spatial intervention. scale to be discussed with tutor
Drawing
E. A1 Elevation drawing communication of the experience of the environment in situ/ responding to site, presenting the use and interaction of the spatial intervention. scale to be discussed with tutor
Blog infor mation
Electronic submission
F. Blog information. It is expected you will continue to update your documentation blog of your processes. G. Electronic Submission: there will be a briefing as to where this is submitted. 1. Film of project in use. Learn from your previous experience from the Explore project. SURNAME_FIRST NAME_PD (MP4 compressed to less than 200mb) 2. pdf of your portfolio (compressed to less than 40mb) file name: SURNAME_FIRST NAME_PD_PORTFOLIO
Format Remember to line through!
Remember to line through!
We are quite specific....This is the required format for the portfolios submitted, on A2 size paper. This can be of any colour but we suggest you use a slimmer and matt paper to be economical and simple. If you want to present large photographic images, you can mount them by hand. We suggest a simple font such as Helvetica and a range of sizes, captions and text can be 8-10, titles and sections 16-18. Take care with consistency and lining up your work, use inDesign and design a grid to help you out. A few decisions at this stage can really help you in the long run.
