Chelsea Collge of Art and Design. This blog is a record of my work but it is also a way for me to analyse the way I design and the processes and methods that I use. I hope that by reflecting on my work I will be able to understand more about my practice and improve my skills as a designer. I will try to be as honest as possible about my work and my experiences on the course and I invite you to do the same; any comments are very welcome!Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14550762020526941906noreply@blogger.comBlogger73125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319703151933135676.post-5708764033946695702010-07-14T17:31:00.000+01:002010-07-14T17:31:41.552+01:00Interior Sketch<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfxJDiF8trYa1JGTUom2WnMmG4cSd7NbH34BThDmzO9DTxuaJClDwuCOfHEvCSsPa6paZ8250k4yYDnaJ88HeYq1cxbSjPe5lV9X54TLjslgC6oHGnUOspxgLsVdJTtws7b3-7smmFeq-Y/s1600/Internal+Elevation+Sketch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfxJDiF8trYa1JGTUom2WnMmG4cSd7NbH34BThDmzO9DTxuaJClDwuCOfHEvCSsPa6paZ8250k4yYDnaJ88HeYq1cxbSjPe5lV9X54TLjslgC6oHGnUOspxgLsVdJTtws7b3-7smmFeq-Y/s400/Internal+Elevation+Sketch.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Interior Sketch of the First Floor of Create</div>Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14550762020526941906noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319703151933135676.post-39325145442654898262010-07-14T14:52:00.000+01:002010-07-14T14:52:14.069+01:00Sections<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGzhTotpxGe0pAdS68UAivhRDUCVDBD1S0P8Rzip-ainrIqptmwi1mYRtgclkhk75WcnnrNUl8AC-4cWwdPPDaPC7nSvtsz1UKz8oeAcl3J0wcbJ3TFoBX3xzkxXAaCwEO8ZHKN2pWeAo-/s1600/Long+Section.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGzhTotpxGe0pAdS68UAivhRDUCVDBD1S0P8Rzip-ainrIqptmwi1mYRtgclkhk75WcnnrNUl8AC-4cWwdPPDaPC7nSvtsz1UKz8oeAcl3J0wcbJ3TFoBX3xzkxXAaCwEO8ZHKN2pWeAo-/s320/Long+Section.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Long Section</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I created a regular grid to decide on the spacing of the vertical and horizontal forms, this grid is also expressed on the facade through the vertical panels. I decided that these panels should reflect the 'lost' buildings which I have experimented with weaving and layering over the existing in the past.<br />

I have tried to give the woven strips some more logical forms by setting up a grid with a series of columns to 'weave' around. This grid of vertical elements works as the structure of the building as well as forming part of the weave design. I have also used the grid to re-think the circulation of the building, trying to incorporate the main access routes around the new vertical elements.<br />

Ken suggested that I try thinking about the weaving in a more three dimensional way to try to create a more interesting plan for my building and also express this on the facade. The following plans are sketches of how this might start to work.<br />
<br />
I have tried to use the woven strips to create spaces inside the building; they might not be solid walls but a variety of materials similar to those I have been experimenting with in earlier research. They would be varying heights, thicknesses and opacity's depending on the area they were dividing or containing. On the facade they might start to become balcony spaces or simply act as a decorative panel. At street level I have tried to use the material to encourage people into the exhibition space and create a new entrance.<br />

The article is an excerpt from the book <span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" >Manual: The Architecture of KieranTimberlake </span><span style=""><span style="font-size:100%;">by Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake, 2002.<span style="font-family: times new roman;font-size:100%;" ></span></span></span><br /><br /><br />"Weaving is most often associated with textiles, but it is also relevant to architecture. It is a construct and a craft that can purposefully and aesthetically order building systems. Just as a thread can be pulled from a woven fabric and a new one inserted in its place, so too can building and urban systems be removed, replaced, or added when the whole is conceived as an exposed woven tapestry. <o:p></o:p> <!-- included from /building_articles_rectangle.dat --> <p>In its ancient usage, weaving creates surfaces and volumes by the regular interlacing of pliable strands — the warp and the woof — passing over and under each other at right angles. Friction at every joint enforces the structure of weaving. No material is completely inert, and under pressure from the environment, all materials deform. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>When deformed, many materials are elastic; they retain some memory of their prior state and will strain toward their original plane unless restrained. The bending of the strands, each of which wants to restore itself to a flat position, creates friction, between the threads at each overlap. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>This three-dimensional friction among strands above, below, and to each side, restrains the individual segments and forms the stable plane of a textile. In modern architectural usage, fasteners often provide the required friction in place of the deformation of the individual strands of material at work in textiles. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>The building block, or cell, of a woven surface is the joint between overlapping materials. Weaving is in essence a continuous joint. In closely spaced weaving, the pattern of intersections becomes both visually and practically subservient to the plane or volume.<!-- preformatted body content end --><o:p></o:p></p> <p>Although the joint is normally an event of such physical consequence that it dominates our perception, in a densely woven form, the joint is transformed into a recessive contributor to the overall appearance of surface and shape. <o:p></o:p></p> <!-- included from /building_articles_rectangle.dat --> <p>Weaving, however can never be completely closed; it always has space between its strands. While the woven surface separates and contains, it breathes and connects. it is a scrim, a screen that is at once space and surface, Never quite a membrane, but part joint, part surface, part volume, part system, weaving is unique in architecture in being simultaneously open and closed. <o:p></o:p></p> <p><b>Weaving Systems</b> <o:p></o:p></p> <p>The association of weaving with volume and system carries the craft into the deepest structures and largest scales of current architecture and urbanism. The integration of a large number of operating systems into buildings is a problem of relatively recent origin. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>Indoor plumbing has been common for less than 150 years; widespread electrification and elevators for vertical transportation are little more than a century old; air-conditioning and fire-suppression systems were novelties less than 75 years ago, and today, emergency power, door operators, and security, voice, and data transmission are part of the onslaught of systems that course through our buildings. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>The fundamental process and manner of conceiving architecture, however, has changed little. We still tend to organize program and space long before we integrate systems. <o:p></o:p></p> <p><b>Rock Hall, <st1:place st="on"><st1:placetype st="on">Temple</st1:placetype> <st1:placetype st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place></b> <o:p></o:p></p> <p>What is the depth of the imitative versus the authentic? One is a fictive invention, and the other is a fiction derived from necessity. In Rock Hall, an auditorium of the Esther Boyer College of Music at <st1:place st="on"><st1:placetype st="on">Temple</st1:placetype> <st1:placetype st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place>, we use the idea of the room as a musical instrument; the depth of the sound box is represented in the depth of the weave. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>The metaphor is one of tectonic reality and is drawn from the program. The acoustical requirement of 50 percent absorptive and 50 percent reflective surfaces led to a proscenium that exploits the depth and lightness offered by flat panels. It is a solution that balances the question of imitation versus invention. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>The strands in this textile are typically six-inch- (15-centimeter-) wide plywood strips with a two-foot- (60-centimeter-) wide central panel. During design, we built a full-scale panel with a small millworker to test the ability of the plywood to bend and for the necessity of fasteners at points of overlap. An adjustable metal superstructure supports the woven wood panels. <o:p></o:p></p> <p><b>The <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Shipley</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">School</st1:placetype></st1:place></b> <o:p></o:p></p> <p>In our shop, there are no matters of lesser importance. At this new middle school, architecture is structure. It is fire protection, it is codes, it is equipment. It is all design. These systems are inseparable and intrinsic to the problem of designing a school. They are part of the education of children. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>Weaving provides a way to navigate what goes over and what goes under. We turn systems engineers into architects, and they turn us into engineers. Sometimes the engineers like the role reversal. Sometimes they go kicking and screaming into the world of woven systems. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>We have to trace every pipe and duct. We have to know how large it is, what it is made of, and how it turns. In this small building section, below a balcony walkway, all the building trades had to come to know and work with each other, while coinhabiting three feet four inches (102 centimeters) of common real estate. If one is not willing to become a mechanic, one should not become an architectural weaver. <o:p></o:p></p> <p><st1:placename st="on"><b>Sterling</b></st1:placename><b> <st1:placename st="on">Law</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">School</st1:placetype>, <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Yale</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place></b> <o:p></o:p></p> <p>We love direct challenges from our architectural ancestors. The blunter the challenge, the better. Our addition for the Sterling Law School Dining Hall comes squarely up against the stone walls and elaborate windows of James Gamble Rogers's 1930s structure. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>We sought direct competition with the original wrought-iron metalwork by using stainless-steel and bronze rods and straps, but the new gates in no way cancel the stone craft against which they are juxtaposed. The old stone carving and the new metal gates, while of different ages, are equal crafts. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>The fabricator really rose to the task. Consider that every pair of bends in the stainless-steel bar — out, then back to vertical again — had to be made in precisely the right location so as to intersect the 3/4-inch (19-millimeter) bronze bar where the buttonhead fastener, passing through a predrilled hole, would lie flat against it. When asked what he had worked on before these gates, he replied, "Something for the space shuttle." <o:p></o:p></p> <p>Viewed in relation to contemporary architecture, weaving is a conceptual and physical armature that accommodates the differential life spans of buildings and urban systems. <o:p></o:p></p> <p>At the same time that weaving provides for separation and the differential removal and replacement of elements, it composes and organizes single strands of material into a deliberately visual artifact, insisting upon repetition and pattern in its placement as purpose is translated into orderly artifice. Weaving celebrates the realization that permanence is no longer a prospect nor even a desire of architecture."<o:p></o:p></p> <o:p></o:p>Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14550762020526941906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319703151933135676.post-85667740366161617462010-06-12T10:35:00.004+01:002010-06-12T10:41:56.491+01:00Oslo Opera HouseAs part of the design for the Oslo Opera House (voted best cultural building 2008) by Norwegian architects Snøhett, local artists were invited to design panels on the building.

The three dimensional pattern adds depth and interest to the monolithic panels and creates an interesting series of shadows and reflections.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe12YCLMp6rt2XuR-VnodRZW9XNyer12zZwB0ywhHctNMMJ9gUfEq1otSEpX7HRPDWL3EqkBfYyXT0JadIK4B71lXkE0EYpesydjNWVC93rDmLJeTs7fsYPSauB4LAwqO6sV__jcsasL_O/s1600/Oslo+Opera+house.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe12YCLMp6rt2XuR-VnodRZW9XNyer12zZwB0ywhHctNMMJ9gUfEq1otSEpX7HRPDWL3EqkBfYyXT0JadIK4B71lXkE0EYpesydjNWVC93rDmLJeTs7fsYPSauB4LAwqO6sV__jcsasL_O/s400/Oslo+Opera+house.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481819606109650690" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I saw weaving technology similar to their inspiration at the Technical Museum in Berlin.

The form of the building takes its inspiration from the areas traditional basketwork. The facade is formed from a continuous woven surface made from panels of glass and fibreglass reinforced concrete. It becomes more transparent as you move up the building, giving greater privacy at ground level and views over the surrounding landscape from the top level.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6SGScLFBc-KKqPhGrJSfUtjkiIhGPvGcSzw6WMIAnVGzpFGmhQJ4ceV2WEqiVnWtcD0HtfKQmuIPuj_ZfnFIJ7HpXnI7I35bL7JwZb6FH2F2Tm2i63UJBzmC040WaJ_NKxNjhBy_BJy4J/s1600/Aragon+Pavilion+1.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6SGScLFBc-KKqPhGrJSfUtjkiIhGPvGcSzw6WMIAnVGzpFGmhQJ4ceV2WEqiVnWtcD0HtfKQmuIPuj_ZfnFIJ7HpXnI7I35bL7JwZb6FH2F2Tm2i63UJBzmC040WaJ_NKxNjhBy_BJy4J/s400/Aragon+Pavilion+1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481811608197359186" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Detail of the Facade</span><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6QwdZ32bvEyjKVj009plaBmRAttwQRMdRVw6MeMFU6SVypnI7BnniLpbmhC9lPrBJvYn2Bbaqo2hOfER-EVbeqD7afNGr1n5kAmOYuwKDqxXvDDamLBOWFlG3DT6KedmLBIPAli8WOg1U/s1600/Aragon+Pavilion+Model.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6QwdZ32bvEyjKVj009plaBmRAttwQRMdRVw6MeMFU6SVypnI7BnniLpbmhC9lPrBJvYn2Bbaqo2hOfER-EVbeqD7afNGr1n5kAmOYuwKDqxXvDDamLBOWFlG3DT6KedmLBIPAli8WOg1U/s400/Aragon+Pavilion+Model.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481811955704472258" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Model of the scheme showing the basket-like nature of the main space</span><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlwQ5IZat1RzhfQQAcyeTF6RYSQPpin8kuwsjoqUu3eiCqSrDgLegddaSq1v8ysmFJUsyiEni3fwZ8wI6AHB165tXQ82jb7_N4ujM3JKeWAYmN5u4eQf7jrLxmrHQ_5lukx0oaPC8-pDIN/s1600/Aragon+Pavilion+2.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlwQ5IZat1RzhfQQAcyeTF6RYSQPpin8kuwsjoqUu3eiCqSrDgLegddaSq1v8ysmFJUsyiEni3fwZ8wI6AHB165tXQ82jb7_N4ujM3JKeWAYmN5u4eQf7jrLxmrHQ_5lukx0oaPC8-pDIN/s400/Aragon+Pavilion+2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481812576810521874" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">View of the Pavilion from ground level</span></div>Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14550762020526941906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319703151933135676.post-4373287155522183632010-06-12T09:45:00.003+01:002010-06-12T10:03:46.406+01:00Architectural WeavingFollowing the feedback from the unit 1 assessment I have decided to try and diversify my area of study a little and carry out some more conceptual experiments to help me to generate more interesting forms and textures for my project. Throughout the project I have been interested in pattern design and silk weaving (linked to the historical context of the site), my material experiments have been running parallel to my architectural work on the site and I now need to combine them. Through discussions with Pete I have decided to look at ideas of architectural weaving and how I could weave the old and new contexts of my site as well as the old and new architectures. I have already looked at layering the old 'lost' architecture over the new but now I want to find new ways of combining them which might take this process one step further.<br /><br />To move the project forward in a more creative and experimental way I am going to look to the current site context as well as the historical. I hope that this will generate new ideas about the site and help me to integrate my social programme. I will also continue to experiment with materials but at a larger scale. For the exhibition I aim to have some 1:1 elements to display which will enhance my architectural drawing. I have started to think about what my exhibition will look like but I think the final design will be very much driven by the scale and nature of the work I produce, however I would like the way I display my work to be linked to my ideas about archiving.Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14550762020526941906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319703151933135676.post-77433277530727867802010-04-28T22:48:00.005+01:002010-04-28T22:51:25.732+01:00Archive, Create, Exhibit: Program DevelopmentAs part of the unit 1 portfolio submission I have been developing my proposed program for the site and researching examples of archives/collections, artists studios and exhibition spaces.

The building used to a be a series of almshouses for the Ironmongers Company. The houses are surrounded by gardens, with a large lawn at the front creating an oasis in this busy part of East London.

I first found out about the practice when I visited the Listed Property Building Show whilst doing research for my parents house in Epsom. They had a stand and were advertising their skills in restoring historic buildings, especially Georgian townhouses. I then came across their work again in Period Living magazine. The practice has done a great deal of work in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Spitalfields</span> area and have also restored Huguenot weavers houses, including Chris Dyson's own house and studio building. Their approach to restoration mixes modern materials, furniture and lighting with respect for the existing structure. They have undertaken some quite radical restorations, including the work to their studio at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Princelet</span> Street. From the before picture you can see that the building had lost its original windows and loft which the practice decided to replace. The result is a building which looks and is mostly new, although I can't deny that the end result is a huge improvement it is a form of restoration which I am not entirely comfortable with. It has become a copy of the original Georgian building and has therefore lost its authenticity. It also presumes that the original Georgian design has more merit than the additions and changes made by more recent owners, it strips the building of its true history and presents us with a false one; making us believe that this building has remained in tact since the 18<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> Century when in fact it has undergone many developments over the centuries.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZIEy7cgo3QwecbVE1o_Z1owCFrTBnX9trLWPT8DgGL8f8cxdIiR9khSPhNb7oXkYuGlon-zDa21T4u89HQqei3Ps3yHOyBzWTv-DCki4CX359czeiuZbC-dVSoTrX820q7VRmMUWyVzR/s1600/before-after.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 349px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdZIEy7cgo3QwecbVE1o_Z1owCFrTBnX9trLWPT8DgGL8f8cxdIiR9khSPhNb7oXkYuGlon-zDa21T4u89HQqei3Ps3yHOyBzWTv-DCki4CX359czeiuZbC-dVSoTrX820q7VRmMUWyVzR/s400/before-after.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458104737699962178" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Overall I really like the work that the practice are doing in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Spitalfields</span>, they have created some very beautiful spaces and helped to bring life back to the area and the buildings. I particularly like the strong sense of light and space in the buildings, this has been achieved by adding modern glass roof lights and extensions and also by using a lot of white in the interior decoration.<br /><br />Article from Period Living Magazine:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHmtEhV_3oTuE9gmarFFQqiyFYmWQnYovumBCBcd9C3R-q9hQ3yeBTfauyPhUFO1eqbh3gbrHn5HDrdnMtKltf-kmU5czDE5YPIvCz_ulX1AJJSHt-DKWWFf7GwQpYXDDU3U4CffMLRSHT/s1600/History+Man+1.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHmtEhV_3oTuE9gmarFFQqiyFYmWQnYovumBCBcd9C3R-q9hQ3yeBTfauyPhUFO1eqbh3gbrHn5HDrdnMtKltf-kmU5czDE5YPIvCz_ulX1AJJSHt-DKWWFf7GwQpYXDDU3U4CffMLRSHT/s400/History+Man+1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458105926161174098" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMkJhoIQ9mu9AFJN2H6ZCzLUbt1XRucZn6F8-plz-yvpDInoXUur2maji4tBqE6dqOpN4N4e6IxANkn-4n1rGu_M15XfG4drG4ni4vQvi7SGGoVgySrWvPjdKaCAzK9b9ssw0TGD9yn01R/s1600/History+Man+2.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMkJhoIQ9mu9AFJN2H6ZCzLUbt1XRucZn6F8-plz-yvpDInoXUur2maji4tBqE6dqOpN4N4e6IxANkn-4n1rGu_M15XfG4drG4ni4vQvi7SGGoVgySrWvPjdKaCAzK9b9ssw0TGD9yn01R/s400/History+Man+2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458105864420456178" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_7IL8pjD_DHDxRzmJwonFckpPH-uNks66R6qFx9W_yT4oZQP1VM-if-Xc5IeR9Vgzo2Fmh5w7K2rcjOj26Rh3jE7Uy8CznMUKNdiu9fMyqQWZEYWQ_lEur939HtMlmdWRu0lRQCAftJ9-/s1600/History+Man+3.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_7IL8pjD_DHDxRzmJwonFckpPH-uNks66R6qFx9W_yT4oZQP1VM-if-Xc5IeR9Vgzo2Fmh5w7K2rcjOj26Rh3jE7Uy8CznMUKNdiu9fMyqQWZEYWQ_lEur939HtMlmdWRu0lRQCAftJ9-/s400/History+Man+3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458105796638326498" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd3YZTCdW7ZaO4DaS-zVUb9bNwc4YyNDC_m6_-FwKJmBOBG5jGS-qH1yjpGPh3WIP95ALIgbgHR3umlbJ5-ny7xf0cijqIugDylcLYBFyGZmctS3o0zcAXMdhW3MkJQQPwO1anXJP5T_1B/s1600/History+Man+4.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 278px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd3YZTCdW7ZaO4DaS-zVUb9bNwc4YyNDC_m6_-FwKJmBOBG5jGS-qH1yjpGPh3WIP95ALIgbgHR3umlbJ5-ny7xf0cijqIugDylcLYBFyGZmctS3o0zcAXMdhW3MkJQQPwO1anXJP5T_1B/s400/History+Man+4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458105718291491826" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Pages from a marketing leaflet:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSfJWm97WRhIzT7n5fNEhlqSV86ip-6PjtVeU-c4eXHUINXnx4zDSkieuedcWvtNbq9FW8gddebYzL9QiXt_2ef83qn3HWJYYKQx7NDmCotrEe_QdTDqyjLaUX79HPI7qsAlYuiBO6_okY/s1600/Princelet+Street.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 271px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSfJWm97WRhIzT7n5fNEhlqSV86ip-6PjtVeU-c4eXHUINXnx4zDSkieuedcWvtNbq9FW8gddebYzL9QiXt_2ef83qn3HWJYYKQx7NDmCotrEe_QdTDqyjLaUX79HPI7qsAlYuiBO6_okY/s400/Princelet+Street.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458107069786136562" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioDCCOqYZrmJ5ipMnl6eZct9ydCS5UMPAFtjuO8MjDj0haFCqkZEJZivLxAgFb9Tvl2XrC-s0Iq2OTfL_1Y9dIyro-ojxrgrOseeNvMI-lAWzglazbbF8M7K9SAQi_Meht5tmh3T7Csi35/s1600/Whites+Row.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioDCCOqYZrmJ5ipMnl6eZct9ydCS5UMPAFtjuO8MjDj0haFCqkZEJZivLxAgFb9Tvl2XrC-s0Iq2OTfL_1Y9dIyro-ojxrgrOseeNvMI-lAWzglazbbF8M7K9SAQi_Meht5tmh3T7Csi35/s400/Whites+Row.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458106991928006962" border="0" /></a>Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14550762020526941906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319703151933135676.post-43445084364378173102010-04-09T11:47:00.012+01:002010-04-09T12:14:57.838+01:00Site PhotographyYesterday I took advantage of the lovely weather and visited my site. It has been quite a while since I last visited and I have been waiting for the weather to improve before taking photographs. The building work on the mosque directly opposite my site seems to have finished, they have built a minaret on the corner of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Fournier</span> Street and Brick Lane but the original building does not seem to have changed. It was very hard to take photographs of the building elevations because the street is so narrow and the buildings so tall.

Originally when I started looking at pattern design it was inspired by the 18<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> Century silk designs from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Spitalfields</span>, the delicate floral designs of the period can be seen not just on textiles but also in wallpaper and fashion design. I want to stick with the floral images but find a more contemporary image or way of using pattern in my proposal.

after visiting the Technical Museum in Berlin I realised how large some of the weaving machines could be and the space that will be needed to house creative workspaces. I have created a double height space at 1st floor and a mezzanine balcony with access to the roof garden at 2nd in the central creative space. I have also improved the link between archive and create: the link is now at 3rd floor level, in create the 3rd floor will be used for the documentation of work either ready to be exhibited or archived or perhaps both.<br /><br />I used the model to create a series of sections:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8R_8Zon_JWq8mZKSWDij8ZEbvQAswjUhsqHzkYo3jjUShEnzlW4ziDavK7j1XXk1oF0TsL0fF6UUOMwYOviKSBj3X3sr1y_JGUF0J6qIMCZQlUf2Fd87Nj2wmqOKWYvczysoIvBVW-1Jv/s1600/Section+A-A.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8R_8Zon_JWq8mZKSWDij8ZEbvQAswjUhsqHzkYo3jjUShEnzlW4ziDavK7j1XXk1oF0TsL0fF6UUOMwYOviKSBj3X3sr1y_JGUF0J6qIMCZQlUf2Fd87Nj2wmqOKWYvczysoIvBVW-1Jv/s400/Section+A-A.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457078699234005426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz_k5a9rjJP_p1MWmwi2iCE4SbsN8EFJDmHJqt5mTTBeoKkEcUscoLzuzdUvl6AO-baCiRc8cp4JK_4m55d3nnxqaG053lCjFNnsAAs-lv7PY1QGZncTzlQSOSBAcQ_5pO-LN_aEL0vzIe/s1600/Section+B-B.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz_k5a9rjJP_p1MWmwi2iCE4SbsN8EFJDmHJqt5mTTBeoKkEcUscoLzuzdUvl6AO-baCiRc8cp4JK_4m55d3nnxqaG053lCjFNnsAAs-lv7PY1QGZncTzlQSOSBAcQ_5pO-LN_aEL0vzIe/s400/Section+B-B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457078654242424578" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdqD1Le4ME66aL64uEv9ATN7F-3IjIaSxvpEqWhN0PyOgxU8CZQmRbOWZO2vHAyEdH-Sct1CsIPcH1mu8D_q4GvCALsKa18aF7jq2v2gTmOInEMoKzQO9S5lNamOfBL1XA3nB0AgRfptar/s1600/Section+C-C.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdqD1Le4ME66aL64uEv9ATN7F-3IjIaSxvpEqWhN0PyOgxU8CZQmRbOWZO2vHAyEdH-Sct1CsIPcH1mu8D_q4GvCALsKa18aF7jq2v2gTmOInEMoKzQO9S5lNamOfBL1XA3nB0AgRfptar/s400/Section+C-C.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457078593102871330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fSO5ibTCg4Z_TsXu7VSxJCNDH5mufMjCzNmDAuEcPOhLMr5JY71lYtfdFwBVTMXMO-UYPrP1nrZ58GO4y93FLjv9-uQ9TUHtGk-0p_BO9i2pJvJPxAu3PyzSKhBBjLppXdwGYRPOXPYN/s1600/Section+D-D.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fSO5ibTCg4Z_TsXu7VSxJCNDH5mufMjCzNmDAuEcPOhLMr5JY71lYtfdFwBVTMXMO-UYPrP1nrZ58GO4y93FLjv9-uQ9TUHtGk-0p_BO9i2pJvJPxAu3PyzSKhBBjLppXdwGYRPOXPYN/s400/Section+D-D.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457078527087416082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFmHf9ALDvvJdWwPBDIlgO2bSfhmFsLkh0PPUY84PhzhlY3bB1lBavYFL86CiyErqtR_nAmp4W4-vQbH_y9ardkZA5NP3U_DBgIfxLq_4-0ofyNUJWFg_Cgc7JmrBUgmWB7E5ck31CBkmv/s1600/Section+E-E.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFmHf9ALDvvJdWwPBDIlgO2bSfhmFsLkh0PPUY84PhzhlY3bB1lBavYFL86CiyErqtR_nAmp4W4-vQbH_y9ardkZA5NP3U_DBgIfxLq_4-0ofyNUJWFg_Cgc7JmrBUgmWB7E5ck31CBkmv/s400/Section+E-E.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457078467275735938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmThZ-y0l1x2hKXYA5s6LUOfkLRn-cPU9Yf58YBzHUx3339qihJNGBUCOqjueB3xmNotxoYVZXqtuwOPfbfycIgfMMPYel9s2BiZatkteP4b9CYMgQCe_wBgmf90XNwdp9CWKKSNDF5B4P/s1600/Section+F-F.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmThZ-y0l1x2hKXYA5s6LUOfkLRn-cPU9Yf58YBzHUx3339qihJNGBUCOqjueB3xmNotxoYVZXqtuwOPfbfycIgfMMPYel9s2BiZatkteP4b9CYMgQCe_wBgmf90XNwdp9CWKKSNDF5B4P/s400/Section+F-F.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457078409292589010" border="0" /></a>Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14550762020526941906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319703151933135676.post-53150228237818377222010-03-29T16:46:00.015+01:002010-03-29T17:26:06.510+01:00The Technical MuseumOn the last morning I visited the technical museum in Berlin. It is a huge museum, covering lots of technologies, all housed in a former railway station and its sheds. I was there mainly to look at the textile, paper making and printing technologies. There were lots of different weaving machines and mechanisms to look at and it was a really interesting museum. There were a few interactive exhibits and it was possible to see demonstrations of the machines but unfortunatly not on the day I visited.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5zdMVL2or_yw8cQ6_ihS_mosPBm7BLQIX_8OOP-eiuI1CvFyCQwJKJYzgR_yxVNDMPvZgpgSPG2j0Nz_cAesQZxJFIQUxu5YyJKZgraYbjQfq0ZYRVUqTkK8TrMxXjZSi-gUpKIQGk-2U/s1600/weaving+1.JPG"><img style="display: block;

They had some nice examples of textile pieces and more interestingly the designs for the textiles. The actual displays in the archive are quite small but I think that they have much more material kept in private storage and they also lend a lot of material to other museums/exhibitions. As well as the permanent collection there was a small exhibition on classic Japanese design which contained some really beautiful objects.<br /><br />On the way out we picked up these interesting quotes being used as promotional literature to encourage you to become a member of the Archive:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqerp_AjPSFHYkLaqDZoM59Uj6X36mBFWkx2iXmRKwkYQMaAGjrsF0LQWlq2mssvxCu7gZfXhnyegeASIG3RXMUOwJAKGkaq030a_Qlr0o7G6rB-0J8ckCi4ITKV-uqBOUseuhfCxO7DKd/s1600/bauhaus+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 293px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqerp_AjPSFHYkLaqDZoM59Uj6X36mBFWkx2iXmRKwkYQMaAGjrsF0LQWlq2mssvxCu7gZfXhnyegeASIG3RXMUOwJAKGkaq030a_Qlr0o7G6rB-0J8ckCi4ITKV-uqBOUseuhfCxO7DKd/s400/bauhaus+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454074817924547138" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-JNDNmpuE2kG9RauV8hVo35drYXkz76_hFEgoAFPF1NghHWTkPMUtoxfW2AMCKw_BNI1YBvPUU0B5S7RElMx4G9VMU4PLJIgxHFH7EScx3Km2Ud0XDwbGmxvSuGfjyt79Zri17uEfmzbo/s1600/bauhaus+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-JNDNmpuE2kG9RauV8hVo35drYXkz76_hFEgoAFPF1NghHWTkPMUtoxfW2AMCKw_BNI1YBvPUU0B5S7RElMx4G9VMU4PLJIgxHFH7EScx3Km2Ud0XDwbGmxvSuGfjyt79Zri17uEfmzbo/s400/bauhaus+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454074777569608210" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilSPNq2i-1ZbbdwzN9lpNV9peiInwavx3VGa6OZrLC-QIi9HtRvX8g4ubk-T8BLWfrmtS5-HmuFzbskkDqNlFICpdY8JCyuRJHPOG_kZMDUQr0rLy1IJP1CPYPmN4EhzgB3hDyTSDgyiks/s1600/bauhaus+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 282px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilSPNq2i-1ZbbdwzN9lpNV9peiInwavx3VGa6OZrLC-QIi9HtRvX8g4ubk-T8BLWfrmtS5-HmuFzbskkDqNlFICpdY8JCyuRJHPOG_kZMDUQr0rLy1IJP1CPYPmN4EhzgB3hDyTSDgyiks/s400/bauhaus+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454074730908601826" /></a>Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14550762020526941906noreply@blogger.com0
