Nice one lads

my apologies about lateness today, you will be happy to know that the whipper snipping around my house has been sorted out for another three months- Now...

As Glenny went through on Thursday The plan is as follows (think timmy may have been the only one to miss out) but you sir are doing Details of Doors/ Thresholds, Wet areas, Lobby and Bar section details, you are more than welcome to do any other details that you find necessary- may need to focus on one area (i suggest reading area).

Other things to ponder- am just sorting out second floor, will have it completed by tomorrow. Will start skin detailing and putting in pattern (make final plans for skin), Timmy with the thresholds should focus on folding of skin, waiting room [entrance], Benny has stuck up his hand for the Specs job, but make it easier for him by specifying on drawings materiality.

The pictures are of the Spanish Pavillion at the 2005 Expo- note colour and patterning

Peace out players

TEAM PLAN

As we found out by watching the mighty ducks in years past it is very important create a plan for smashing this assignment out. I will spend the the weekend coming up with a great plan that would rival any mighty ducks "V" formation. Lets stick to our guns and follow what a wise man once told me, "lets stick it right up them"

SMASHER

Team taipan followers

Did a site visit to Fed square on the weekend- called into "transport" and the pub 'young and... something' that surround Fed square for some inspiration. Am back from my adventures, rested and ready to smash out some sweet work.

Stay safe champeezee's

 

tessellation

hey team was just having a quick squiz at fed square and their patterning.

as you can see from the pic above they use the same basic shape all over but thy change the colour/material to give a pattern. i'm just thinking that we should do te same thing to make it easier, instead of trying to fit different shapes and sizes together.

have a look and decide for yourself.

have a good one, i'll see you next week

progess

lads (and ladies)

Don't think we have mentioned the name for the boutique hotel- it is known as GRID mostly due to the urban surroundings and construction of floor plates resembling a grid.

Its been a while architecture fans- just writing to say we have a) met the structural engineer for the first time- he was happy with the building structure, suggested a few minor changes- would like us to thicken the beams, not chamfer the slab. b) talked to Terry- he has suggested doing a few more sections in order to describe what is going on in the building and c) had a talk to james- he introduced the idea of "tessellation" for our screen which will give it more character. One massive setback though has been the realization that the majority of rooms in the building face south (devo) this will have to be discussed further and in detail in order to come up with a compromise.

ps- that screen was originally 1.5m from the slab- can you kids remember why we changed it?

if keen to catch up today give us a dingle

on that note- stay safe

HERZOG- screen?

Legends...have made a few amendments and am still in the process of smashing them out. have had a small chat with Timmy about the possibility of using sheet music as the basis for our screen (get some Mozart or Britney or anything really, enlarge and work out perforations for the notes -emboss, puncture extrude etc. what are your thoughts lads?

Am close to the end with these amendments, will be in at you-and-i-versity tomorrow for the whole day [probably in studio] get involved if not working. Glenny will definitely have revised plans up by tomorrow- probably lunchtime.

Timmy you are on the screen- details and concepts

Glenny- room (sections)

Benny- on details, joinery, operable windows

Samuel George- making amendments to sections plans and elevations

will hopefully catch you punks tomorrow

for now here is some inspiration- ps spelling has been checked the american way= the wrong way
