Holland Power

Week Nine


before moving forward going over my thoughts behind my design and design process
​
what I wanna achieve
Discussion with Sue
​
On monday I talked to Sue to fully take through my design and make sure I was going in the right direction,
I received good feedback from my design and shift in the facade design where Sue recommend I look back at my previous artist models, specifically the Eye beam Musemum and take more inspiration, how can this help me

I started to fully programme my space, where I felt in a good place before the co design work shop,
​
from here I needed to add materials and shift more into a colour perspective to understand the layout of my design
​
Moving forward:
- doing renders
- making floor plans
- site plans
- abstract
-


Exploring seating options


Exploring Table Options
​
I started to explore how to layout the seating and tables for the communal working spaces
​
Because I have never seen the interiors of Level 1 and 2 of Imperial Lane it became hard for me to visualise my proposed space
​
I started to look at other communal working spaces in Auckland in order to get a sense of how these spaces are laid out,
​
Although these spaces are catered more to the working community of Auckland, I felt a better understanding looking at these spaces and taking in inspiration

​
taking inspiration from shared co working spaces in Auckland, a lot of these spaces are layed out to allow for a lot of negative space, developing different heights of seating, and how this creates different aspects through the space, pushing the idea behind the communal working space
​
from this I wanted to try to design a seating arrangemet that included a individual seating arrangement using the facade as dividers between the desks.

Co Design Workshop Planning
I started to explore site maps, looking at the surronding communities around imperial lane, developing more insight into the building around imperial lane, brainstorming how I can develop a site plan to enforce my idea
​
​


from here I decided for co design that this type of site map didnt fit into my design, that it was too detailed and was hard to see the outline of imperial lane
​
I moved onto doing a plain outline for my site map, this process was simple and allowed me to focus on my renders and modeling more

I added a movement line to show that areas of movement through lower CBD as it shows an indication of the people I am trying to capture the attention of through Imperial Lane
​
- moving forward I wanna explore how I could elevate showing the communites of Auckland CBD and the overlap of these people
​
- adding shading to the buildings
​
- materials maybe??? materialality of my design isnt that important so does that take away from the design princples of my design
Co Design Workshop Planning
next week I wanna focus on my renders and floor plans, making everything simple and clear so its easier to understand
​
the most important aspect to me is my renders as this will convey my idea and show the feeling of the space, I wanna use a conjuction of rendering, photoshop and procreate to develop my final renders
