Diversion aims to capture the essence of parallel worlds within Fort Lane through science fiction qualities such as reflection, materiality and tone. With a changing scale that mimics the dip of the site, the installation is made up of a series of half-door like panels that sit perpendicular to a main wall running the length... Continue Reading →
After the final presentation I made a few adjustments to my design, the main one being the addition of several concave reflective panels along one side of the lane. This idea was suggested to try and create more distortion in the reflections as I wanted people to pause and reconsider what they're seeing within the... Continue Reading →
My design aims to capture the essence of parallel worlds within Fort Lane through science fiction qualities such as reflection, materiality and tone. Science fiction films and books have always been an escape for me, a chance to let my imagination run wild and I wanted to capture or invite that within this design. With a changing...

After the co-design workshop there were a few changes I wanted to make. The first was bringing some elements of the design further into the lane to force interaction with the installation. I tried extending some of the exisiting panels but it felt awkward and I wasn't a big fan so I decided to try... Continue Reading →
Presentation Pitch: My design aims to capture the essence of parallel worlds through science fiction qualities such as reflection, materiality, and tone. With a changing scale that mimics the dip of the Fort Lane site, the installation is made of a series of “half-door” like panels perpendicular to a main wall frame that runs alongside...

After working on the detailing of the panels I began putting together my presentation for the co-design workshop. I already had my design modelled in Rhino so I thought it would be a case of creating plan and section drawings, rendering some perspectives and getting some process work together to help explain the design journey...

This weeks task was to find an area of our project that needed more work and develop the detailing of that element. I immediately thought to do something with the panels and how they could be constructed or an additional detail that could be added to them to elevate the design. To start with I...

Moving forward from the formative presentation I felt that my initial design was probably a bit simple. I liked the look of it and the context but it definitely needed more of a purpose and programme. I started to sketch some ideas that incorporated various seating elements but also altered the movement path through the... Continue Reading →
As I'm trying to create the illusion of a doorway through framing and reflection I looked for more works that I felt had similar aspects. The first of which was Gavin Turks, Ajar. A free-standing doorway that can be either opening or closing depending on the viewers orientation to the piece. It was created as... Continue Reading →
My requirements when looking for a material come back to needing something reflective. Apart from that I would need something strong and durable as it would be situated outside but also something that is easy to work at large scales. For my initial models I was using mirror board as it's easy to work with... Continue Reading →
