Commencement               Wednesday         02.10.2013

Interim Review                  Friday                     25.10.2013        


Final Review                        Friday                    15.11.2013


With this project you can really let your imagination fly. There are no cost constraints, no client restraints; you can use any material in the world. 

The Challenge
- To give people an unforgettable experience.
- To create an experience which excites the senses and sparks the imagination.


You are to consider a new lightweight pavilion from the angle of the human encounter: how vision, touch, sound and memory play a role in our perceptions of space, proportion, materials and light.

1. Firstly explore different environments - find an unloved enclosed space in the centre of Nottingham (see Lecture One for examples).  Develop your response to a site.
2. Explore different human encounters such as moods, senses (sight, touch smell, hearing), climb, sit, talk, walk, contemplation. Develop a specific direction, a distinctive approach to create as site specific installation.
3. Investigate spaces, materials and light to create an unforgettable pavilion.


This is a 6.5 week project, with an interim review in the 4th week, on Friday 25th October. 


Explore sites, select one

Investigate the unloved enclosed space

Explore different human senses

Develop your concept / idea that lifts peoples spirit – how will the space/s, material and light make you feel?

Present your SCHEME….! of an unforgettable pavilion that excites the senses and sparks the imagination



The brief is based on the Royal Academy, Sensing Spaces exhibition that opens in late January.


Requirements
1.     A bound document for research and sketch development (showing how that spark of inspiration translates into a final scheme)
2.     Concept model(s) these can be very rough, working models
3.     Sketch models (quick, rough, working models used to explore your ideas)
4.     Finished model (minimum of 1:100 scale), existing model can be made in groups
