Peer Review 3

This week I once again reviewed Group 3 however this time it was augmented reality creating the 1:1 section of the construction detail.

The first two augmented drawings they had to do from this group - one was using their precedent building and ideas surrounding materials used and for the second one they had to get in groups in which they chose the two weakest designs from the previous weeks and work with those.

Nicole created a building which was made of simple rectangular modules.  One made from concrete and the other made from glass perpendicular to the other rectangle and looked on out to the road.  The building sat right in between two others, suspended.  What I liked about this construction detail was that Nicole chose a section in which showed the relationship between her building and the existing builidng next to it.  Also, instead of just using a concrete grid on the facade of the building, she also tried a steel one so she was exploring different ways of interpreting her builidng.

Regan created quite an open and shared space for the five colleagues at work.  It was made form perspex mainly in which the perspex squares were stacked on top of each other to create a grid pattern but areas were left open so that the space felt quite shared and opened.



Sally Hosking - http://shos033.blogspot.com/
Sally used cultural traditions as her starting point for her building as well as the precedent building and the weakest building which everyone was required to start with in terms of the augmented drawing.  The building consisted of a concrete circular facade in which encompassed a space which contrast with the outer walls.  The inside was made from bamboo sticks in which the circular form allowed each colleague to have their own private space while also having a central area for meetings.  The spacing of the bamboo was thought through so that the bamboo was placed in order for each colleague to have enough privacy at the same time not sacrificing communication with those around.  I liked the idea that she focused on the spaces inside so that although it was a concrete facade on the outside, the space within was very different.
