Planning Primary Research

-

 I am going to be planning primary research that I will do for the location of my project which is gonna be Paphos, Cyprus. I'm also going to be visiting some places in Leicester that relate to my project as further primary research. 


Location Research questions: 


- Demographics 

- How is life in Cyprus? specifically Paphos? 

- Which specific Location in Paphos would better fit this concept?

- Is the Location close to my target market?

- Is the place easily accessible? 

- How much local competition is there? 

- Is it safe? 

- What are some traits of the location traits for an office building? 

+ More secondary research 



Places to visit - Further Primary Research :

- Engineerings Building University of Leicester 

- John Lewis High Cross

Week 5 further research

-

 In week 5 of planning, I'm doing some more research. Today I'm researching Rem Koolhaas, a Dutch architect who is known for his gravity-defying structures. His innovative and futuristic style has been setting standards for years, he thinks that "Terms like city, street, identity, and architecture are things of the past. The past is too small to live in". One of his famous works is the "De Rotterdam" building, this is a multifunctioning building, (a great work to look up to since my project revolves around multifunctional requirements as well), he describes his work as a "vertical city".                                                                                      The De Rotterdam  This building is located  at  Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam, he design...

Prototype 3D model process

-

This is my 3D prototype process.  I used foam board and mount board as the main materials. I started by cutting out the water drop shapes from mountboard for the main part of the design with a craft knife, after I measured them. Then I cut out a wave line that I would later glue on the foamboard wave part and tested out the placement. After I  cut a rectangle foamboard piece, I started cutting lines on it and making some space in between every cut which would help the material bend for the wave. After I tried the placement of the mount board wave on the foamboard piece to see if it fits correctly. After that, I started cutting out the lines on the pieces in where the wave part will be placed.  After I had most of the pieces ready I tested out the foamboard wave on the straight wall of the mountboard to see if it would stand and bend correctly when placed in between the cut.  After I started gluing the pieces together of the main part with PVA.  After the three w...

Creating my boards process / results - Project Development

Image
 This is my process of creating my boards for my final art portfolio project, using Photoshop.  First I created a new document by clicking on 'New File', then 'print', 'A3', and chose the landscape mode. after my page was open I went on 'Unsplash' to find a related background.  Then I clicked on 'File' that's at the top left corner, 'open' and 'on your computer' and chose the image that I downloaded.  After that, I selected the image with the 'rectangular marquee' tool which is the first icon on the left toolbar and then clicked on 'edit', 'copy' and then went to my first page, clicked on 'edit' again and pasted it. Then from the right tool bar I lowered the opacity to 40% which is located at the 'layers' category.  Then I followed the same steps with uploading my concept image and arranged the size and placement by clicking on the 'move' tool and then clicking on 'show trans...
