During class we made a start on our site model by working out the dimensions we would need for the base board and land contours. We decided on using plain old cardboard as its easily accessible, cheap and recyclable at the end of the project! As a group we started to cut out the pieces... Continue Reading →
With the intention of design a public bath house I thought it was important to think about how I myself bath and what are some aspects that maybe are similar to bathing in a public setting. I'll start by describing my bathroom. It's a bright space, the walls are a textured white tile and the... Continue Reading →
This semester we're creating a public bath house in an otherwise unused building situated on the AUT Campus - The Dadley Building.

Once I decided on who my two strangers would be (exes) and the dramatic and performance like aspect I wanted to include I found my ideas flowed freely and the space was easy to create. I modelled my... Continue Reading →
For my 1:50 model I decided to keep all the changes I had made in project 2. The only other addition I made to this entrance threshold was a more clear definition in terms of public and private space. I did this by creating a small area at the start of the entrance ramp where... Continue Reading →
There were a several works that I looked at for inspiration for this project. I found myself drawn to the more dramatic, reflective pieces but also the interactive ones. I wanted to look at installation especially to get more information about them and what would make mine interesting.When I was considering who my two strangers... Continue Reading →
