Week 4 Studio Tasks

Write 300 words reflecting on your project so for, considering what elements of each stage of the design process has made it through to the next, highlighting where the influence for each decision has come from, and spelling out in clear terms each stage of your design process. Concentrate especially on how the work of your chosen designer has helped to lead your design thinking.


The research on my chosen architect, Gehry, along with the six of his projects expanded my knowledge on his style and techniques employed throughout his building designs. This knowledge led me to experimenting in creating my own architecture inspired by the Gehry style. It was whilst doing this that I began to feel a humour involved with his methods, that although have proven to be very successful and constructive, also seem quite cheap and careless. 


Whilst thinking of how to turn my Gehry inspired environments and dwelling into 6 BUILDAR markers I aimed to express this playfulness. Thus it was this underlying notion that led me to my final idea of creating a box that represents the playful and somewhat random manipulations of a relatively arbitrary object in the hope of creating an architectural marvel. The box therefore satirically represents Gehrys design process and eventual brief.   


When it was mentioned that we are required to create a A3 poster to accompany our AR models I immediately thought of a comic-strip syle layout to tie the two together.
