No tutorial this week instead there was a fairly impromptu crit.
The result of this crit is mainly that i need to clarify why im doing the gridshell. Or get rid of it entirely, i'll opt for the former because i've invested so much time in experimenting with the shapes in 3dmax.

All,
As timetabled I am confirming the arrangement for your assessment for units AD3.2 and AT3.2 on Thursday 13th May.
Remember that this is not just a crit so you need to be able to present as complete a presentation as possible for assessment. You will present the work to a panel of 2 staff members. Make sure to arrange a display that tells a full story of your design from analysis to technical resolution both in 2 and 3D.
Regarding technology AT3.2, for your final reviews:
• Your stage 1 technical studies will be available for you to pick up from the fifth floor studio 12.00am Tuesday 4th May for inclusion with your work on the 13th
• You are required, to submit both stage 1 and stage 2 of the technical module along with your scheme design. The scheme design will be on the wall, the combined technical submission will be placed in a portfolio under your work. Please ensure that that you label your work with your name.
• Your stage 1 & 2 submissions will be reviewed in the context of your final submission and examination. The successful integration and implementation of synergistic constructional and structural principles in your final design will be examined.
In terms of arrangements, we are aiming to give all students one board each so that all work can remain in place for 2 days. Please pin up by 10.00am, remember that this is your submission time for the units and late comers will be marked accordingly. Please bring all models and accompanying work placed either in your portfolio or below.
W need you to leave your work up an in place for Thursday 13th and Friday 14th, to be collected at 4pm for assessment.
We aim to give a provisional mark shortly after the assessment.
If you have any queries, please ask your tutor.
Regards Bridget

Following the review of schemes by Simon Hudspith, it is clear that almost all schemes could be improved if attention was given to the following matters.
1.The effect of your proposal on Briggate. Ideally, an elevational study showing your building and how it relates to its neighbours on Briggate should be included at, say, 1:50.
2.The landscaping of adjacent spaces. Is the landscaping an extension of the architecture?
3.The character, identity, atmosphere, mood, appearance, techtonics, materiality, colour, and texture of the scheme, internally and externally.
4.Is there a "killer image" which summarises your intentions and makes people want to understand your scheme? This should be the sort of image which you would want to see included in the Course Yearbook.
5.Two people showed memorable Sketch-Up aerial views of the whole block, showing their proposal in its context. It is hoped that each student will use some similar powerful technique to show an aerial view of the proposal in the context of the whole block.
6.The order in which the information is presented and the layout, and coordinated presentation of the scheme.
Please try to tackle some of these issues by the time of the next studio day on Thursday 6th May and bring a draft of the proposed presentation so that it can be discussed.
