ARRIVED AT OUR FINAL OUTCOMES

Following are the presentation boards prepared with the group members. 

Here is the quick render I generated placing the Steltman chair with Mondrian’s colours in the preferred spot - Bus stand.

[nazkanazar-kaleidoscopeworl-blog]

was wondering how can I create a Bus stand as such??? 

Current questions in my head........ 

What do I want to convey?

How do I serve the public and still make it attractive?

What sort of materials?

What sort of inspiration??

What sort fo colour combination? 

IDEA WAS BORN. I chose to go by Mondrian’s theme as he wants to convey the driving force of nature in through his works. as he is a well-known artist this message would get conveyed right if embedded into the bus Stand design.

As a group, we worked to create a bus stand design in which we wanted to place the Mondrian's colour combination in the seating and glass panel around.

HOW ABOUT THE CHAIR?? 

We chose  Gerrit Rietveld’s classic Steltman Chair. This was suiting with the colour combinations we already decided. 

HOW WILL THAT LOOK??

This was the outcome I derived by combining the colours and the structure of the Stelman Chair.

A number of designs have been proposed in every country as each structure in a city contributes to the beauty, uniqueness and influence the citizens as well. 

While in Canada its whole new concept in their definition. No surprise even if they bring out a merry go-round, circus or anything because this directly or indirectly positively affects the citizens which all that a country wants to lead their  way to greatness. 

which country is this from??? 

none other than, JAPAN. Pretty delicious isn't it?

Multi-functional-

During my daily scrolling through Pinterest, i came across this picture. 

THE MOST COMMON structure you see every day. Your eyes are pretty used to noticing its existence while you drive or walk by because, its nothing impressive.So, just like once in a while we groom up ourselves with a haircut and such the same is required for the structures around us. 

This picture says it all. Who has time to look around when they have tonnes of posts they have to follow up with?.

suggestion - there should be structures as bus stands that need to GROOM UP.

why them - it's one of the most stationary reminders to the public as they access, pass by or take a seat at.  

What sort of designs would do?? 

you derive a concept as there are ways various ways to highlight the existence of a bus stand.

Structure, Lighting, innovative technology integrated, nature integrated, sustainable, minimalist or any approach could be chosen right? 

what do you think would be best??? examples as:

lighting a such would definitely bring out a chill everytime you see it. 

simple yet elegant design as such would promise a stare at it.

This blog has taken you through a number of different influences of my life. I strongly believe that school life has influenced me in a greater level in every aspect. 

Things have changed so much from my school days to now. for instance: the little kids of grade three carry triple the size of their body weight as school bags and are always busy with smartphones. This doesn't apply to everyone yet, this is killing the childhood life of playing, active participation and so many things. 

Further, worsened by the tonnes of homework passed on from the lower grades. This is what stands between the great difference you notice in the creativity and health of the citizens of our country and in countries like Japan and Finland.n

Now let us look at Finland education system.

The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things. - Jean Piaget

As already mentioned i like to learn things fast and easier.this is made possible by certain great YouTube channels as Bonito design and Robeson Design.

informative video on materials which briefs about cost, usability and important tips as well. 

VITAL TO KNOW YOUR MATERIALS TO MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A SUITABLE DECISION IN THE END. 

my current project is the exhibition project which requires a plywood base. This video was discovered in the process of understanding different materials.

SUMMARY - MY VERY INTERESTING ROLLER COASTER RIDE IN GETTING MY RETAIL PROJECT DONE

Welcome aboard, as you have chosen my ride I will take you through some very important instructions which will enable you to read with better understanding. Please fasten your seat-belts as the ride is about to shoot out. The ride was called the retail project which was to design a showroom for the chosen brand and produce a number of deliverable as required. The final outcomes: firstly, to produce a stack of papers carrying the research part [ development pack], a simple representative of the million dollar idea was given as concept models, the volume and space was brought to life by an architectural model,A2 presentation boards to brief the entire journey and sample board to highlight the main materials of the ride.

I refer this project as a roller coaster ride for a number of reasons. Firstly, roller coaster ride is my favorite at all times because I love the Adrenaline rush that I experience after the ride – which was the success of accomplishment after the project. Further the adventurous part of it as to how the curiosity and tension mounts as you get closer to start the ride- as experienced when the deadline got closer. Likewise, I could list many similarities I found through my adventurous ride I took for 9 weeks.

The brief was introduced on  13th of May. I remember as to how confused and lost I was, as it required a number of deliverables. I followed by the lecturers’ requirements for each review date to be able to stay on track and get it done. I planned my days to make sure I had satisfying amount of work for the reviews conducted.

Firstly, I started off with the research about the brand Desigual. It was the first impression of their marketing tactics that made me fall in love with the brand. Eventually, that led to choose it as my project brand . As I proceeded researching I got more involved into how they carry out their marketing, their sense of respect to different skin, website presentation and so on. I wanted to present my sketchbook in a magazine style in which I included models of Sri Lanka in different rival dresses to stay in the context of the showroom location.

Furthermore, my point of interest towards marketing backed me up to do an in-depth analysis of the brand. This made me investigate various different aspects as well. I have included the marketing mix, five forces of theory, market segmentation, used primary and secondary research data for my conclusions and so on. The sketchbook also covers the draft plans and sketches to derive the final renders and plans. I have always included the short-listing process to make a clear connection of my development course.

It was challenging to filter the most credible and best sources of information out of the highway of information I had collected. Thereafter, jotting them down in an attractive manner was even tougher as it had to be something that they could easily absorb and understood at a glance. This was tough for the statistical data, the questionnaire results and numerical facts. It was because, I had to visualize the data in proportionate shapes to appeal better.

Secondly, I started on my renders for which I spent hours in front of the laptop to get an attractive outcome. I had to always keep looking at the development book as it carried the main elements that led to renders. That was the moment of realization to have everything recorded as it helps the final outcomes to be derived faster. This part of project tested my attention to previous lectures very well because, it did test all the knowledge that had already been taught. It took a lot of time to do mistakes and reverse as it was the very first attempt in doing many things at once. Unfortunately, all my time spent on render went to waste I had to redo as hand renders were required but it was part and parcel of it.

Meanwhile, I had to concentrate on having my materials been collected as per my render. Luckily, I had some backup materials which I had already collected through certain contacts, through exhibitions and so on. Therefore, I had to spend few less hours searching for the correct piece of sample. I would say this was an interesting aspect as it got me thinking like a real designer. For example: I had to choose what sort of carpet I needed which made me question the durability, the aesthetic aspect, the ability to maintain and many other aspects before I arrived at the final sample. The hunt for samples molded me to talk to people in a convincing manner to persuade them to lend samples, understand the variety of products available out there and be able to get the job done quick remembering I had various things to follow up with. It was an informative journey.

Thirdly, I started working on the model. I wanted to throw some colors for my model to be able to portray the brand Desigual at a glance.

All my work carry a dominant amount of the color red to be able to grab the eyes and strike the Desigual image right away.

Throughout my reviews, I had a lot of positive and negative comments that I received which influenced for the betterment of my work.

I have committed many mistakes due to the time span and the pressure of finishing the project. I learnt that research is one of the main component in any design as it allows you to generate more realistic and more suitable design ideas. Further, arriving at renders needs to be faster as many deliverables do depend on it example: the model and presentation boards. I had to do a lot of test prints to arrive at a convincing font size therefore, test prints did save a lot of money in my case.

In my upcoming projects, I will be able perform better as I have experienced as to what component carries the highest importance and how each deliverable is dependent on each other.

I was able to exercise a number of lessons that I learnt in my semester. Each lecture had an influence on me to reach a better outcome. Example: I had a doubt regarding the exclusion of the back door which reminded that a fire exit is must in every building so, likewise there was an ample amount of influence in my work which was evident in every step I took.

In conclusion, this ride had its own obstacles, ups and downs which made it more fascinating. The driving force of living your passion takes over all the negativity in me which kept me strongly on track. It wasn’t an easy journey for me to start on this degree so, I consider every project as a platform to express my best.

I have already shared about our visit to Geoffrey Bawa’s masterpiece - LUNUGANGA. 

This video will take you through a very in depth view of Geoffrey Bawa’s life, architectural works followed with plans and perfectly carved words that conveys the perfectly accompanies with the images.

Pause and read them, the words speak volumes about the architecture.

Firstly, the utilization of space is done with range of soothing materials used in the space. Further, cantilevers and the way the light reaches through openings as huge windows are made with a touch greenery advances the beauty of the structure. The use of wood for the flooring matches with the materials used and durable option. Further, the very famous concrete finish add the minimalist look thats adds more class to the structure.

Will the concrete be a good option for a tropical country?

Included in in Vo Trong Nghia Architects‘ House for Trees series, Binh House features gardens on top of multiple concrete levels visible through openings: http://bit.ly/2pPSObr
