Fine tuning my design, I decided to look up other projects completed by my artist model that relate to thinking about colour, texture and light as the key component in producing the narrative of a design.

T e x t: Taking note of how my artist model - Amber Road Designs - plays with different use of materiality, pattern, and light within their space, I started thinking about how I could showcase my tiles in order to displays its full effect. Much-like my artist model , I found placing the tilesContinue reading "t i l e p l a c e m e n t"

Furthering my tile making process, I decided to experiment with colour, surface, pattern and how it can speak to the social-cultural and material conditions of the site. I wanted to create something that can be contrasted with light. I decided to use resin and hardener to construct three square samples. I then played around withContinue reading "f u r t h e r t i l e e x p e r i m e n t a t i o n"
Jan Gehl and Lars Gemzoe: 12 steps to a great public space
Thinking about my intervention, I would like it to consist of various opportunities that can cater to everyones needs. I discovered this list by Jan Gehl and Lars Gemzoe ; 12 steps to a great public space. This already aids so well as I am 1) designing an intervention for a public area and 2)Continue reading "Jan Gehl and Lars Gemzoe: 12 steps to a great public space"

Finishing off the tile workshop, I took my sculpted tiles and started glazing, painting and dipping. This was all new to me so experiencing this was interesting. I got to paint two tiles, clear glaze one and work with black oxide for the last one. I feel that I could have produced a better outcomeContinue reading "t i l e w o r k s h o p # 2"

Before beginning the tile workshop, we were asked to think about the formative qualities that we have been working with in our wall surface design. Thinking about how a floor treatment can signify a change of space - whether it be visually - through colour or pattern or haptically through texture or disruption of movement.Continue reading "t i l e w o r k s h o p #1"

Taking the rough intervention sketches, I analysed how the space could possibly function. I took into consideration the possible threshold moments, focal points and how many people would occupy the space. This will later help in my decision making for which plan would suit my idea best.

Proceeding forward, I am now gathering all of my analysis, research, modelling etc and forming an idea that could be produced within the space. I started with five rough layouts of what would best tell the narrative of what I want to create. Next, I am going to pick a plan and go into detailContinue reading "r o u g h i n t e r v e n t i o n s k e t c h e s"
