Transformation Project ft. Poem

-




I had two attempts at this activity, exploring transformations of form with 7 identical 3D objects. It is interesting to explore the differences in depth, shadows, light, texture and colour along with their shape, and spacial composition. 

When exploring the form of a cashew nut I considered the beauty of its design. The smooth, untouched interior and organic curves. The natural symmetry of the identical halves and the variety in their shapes and sizes. They composed some curious transformations, though identical objects they are not. 

I experimented again with seasonal clementines 👍




Transformation poem:

Kaju

I can’t quite believe my luck

admiring your curves and voluptuous butt

 

But a poisonous sister and a toxic past

I’m questioning now, how long could this last?

 

All was forgotten when I started nibbling, swallowing, gasping, dribbling.

 

Grinding with haste.

Eager to taste your sticky nut paste.


I love you naked, nice and naughty, 

Hot and spicy, sweet or salty

 

Magnificent, beneficent, tropical lover

I hope you don’t mind becoming a butter?

 

You’re great for my brain and good for my gut,

I’ll take you however… cashew nut.

Design Precedent - Parco Dora, Turin, Italy

-
Image
This precedent has been chosen due to similarities shared with the site on Alney Island, spatially defined by the river Dora and characterised by an industrial past. Designed by Latz+Partner, the urban park has varied amenity areas for walking, cycling, skating and other sporting throughout the park. Notably, it repurposes an old strip steel mill into a covered event space, transforming the post-industrial landscape into one that is multi-use for local residents. Similarly, there is a potential opportunity in Alney Island to repurpose the Electricity Sub Station building into a unique post-industrial event space. The inclusion of street art in this urban park serves as a colourful remedy for the potential eyesores stemming from existing industrial features. Alney Island shares a parallel challenge with a few particularly unwelcoming road underpasses that could be improved through thoughtfully curated street art. This design approach will narrate the island's stories, myths, and i...

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Phase 2: Initial design overlays & concept

-
Image
My initial overlay sketches to experiment with the site layout. I am still undecided whether or not to close North Place, the road running through the centre of the site. Although it poses constraints, it provides access for vehicles away from the main pedestrian entrance on the A4019, en route from the Old Town and Brewery Quarter. Currently, I am edging towards maintaining the ends of North Place road, providing vehicle access to the carparks, whilst opening up the centre to allow for pedestrianisation through the site. My initial concept is inspired by the ecology of the surrounding area - a bioregion that integrates with the local environment. Geographical features of the Severn and Avon Vales provide a foundation - rolling hills, low lying meadows and agricultural fields.  The multi-storey carpark will feature a rooftop park imitating the undulating hills of the Cotswold scarp, blending with the north-eastern background view of Cleeve Hill. Whilst the ground plane (beneath the...

Exploring the Art of Brick Bonding

-
Image
Brick bonding refers to the arrangement and pattern in which bricks are laid in a structure, such as a wall. It plays a crucial role in the structural stability and the aesthetic appeal of the brick work. There are multiple brick bonds, variations and combinations of patterns, leading to a wide range of possibilities.  The above poster was created for Weekly Task 1: to correclty identify five different brick bonds during a walk in the local area.
