Further idea development

After further development and further elevation sketch of my chosen idea, I decided to experiment more and see if I could come up with a new idea which could have more potential or that I could like better

I still went with the triangles in the chosen design and tried to rearranged them, which made me come up with this idea


This idea comes from an inspiration of my first chosen design but also from " modular structure" which is a sculptural structure created by Sol LeWitt. Sol LeWitt was an American artist who made contributions to conceptual art and minimalism (LeWitt, 2019)

The design of the modular structure consist of simple geometric units that can be rearranged in different orders to come up with one structure

Geometric Structures, Sol LeWitt, 1979


Five Modular Structure ( Sequential permutation on the number five) , Sol LeWitt, 1972

This really influenced my design because this term I went with the theme of modularity and repetitive design which these structures represent perfectly.

To have a better idea of my design, I decided to develop it further in oder to understand it more and have a better visual concept of what the final outcome could look like

    This is better - direct evidence of research and its impact on the design of the visitor centre. Really good to see the design drawings as well.

Eunine Fay Jones - Research

E. Fay Jones was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, USA on January 31, 1921. He spent his childhood in the rural Ozark Mountains, where he gained love for nature and the environment, which had an impact on his architectural designs later in life. After completing his studies at Rice University, he joined Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural practice, Taliesin Associated Architects, as an apprentice. He worked closely with Wright on several projects, including the renowned Taliesin West in Arizona (Compton, 2023). Fay Jones E. Fay Jones is famous for his natural architectural style, which includes integrating buildings with the environment, using materials like stone and wood, and incorporating geometric shapes inspired by nature. "Jones ignored architectural trends and instead focused on his own organic aesthetic with materials found in The Ozarks and familiar traditional forms from his home region"(mariathuroczy, 2013) .  One of his design that has inspired me for this project...

Final major project: Digital software

 For my project I will use SketchUp to help me achieve my final design. SketchUp is an easy 3D modelling programme . SketchUP landscape design SketchUp is a really handy software for landscape architects and designers who want to create playground designs. It has many useful features and advantages that are specifically designed to meet their requirements. Here are some reasons why SketchUp is a great option for for this task: 1. User friendly interface  The interface of SketchUp is well-known for being easy to use and understand. Beginners and professionals alike can easily navigate the workspace and utilise the simple tools. Even if you are new to it, you can quickly grasp the basics and start creating 3D models without any difficulties. 2. 3D modelling capabilities SketchUp is great at creating detailed 3D models. It helps designers visualise playground layouts, equipment, and landscaping elements in a realistic three-dimensional space. The software has precise modelling to...

Ideas Development - The Object lesson

 For this task, we continued developing the initials idea we worked on last week to make them stronger. To do that we chose objects to help us expand our Ideas. The first step was to observe the object and answer questions such as "what does it make me think of" "does it have texture" " how can I adapt it to my initial idea". Then the second step was to write down all the associations with the object.  I chose two objects for this exercise which were a ceramic house and an old piece of wood.  The ceramic house displayed a visually textured yet smooth surface, embellished with vivid colours that produced a unique splashing effect. In contrast, the weathered piece of wood, aged and covered in a layer of sand, exhibited the enduring marks of time. I wrote down what these two objects made me think of and tried to develop my ideas based on them.
