Week 5: Design Theory

So this week in Design Theory our chapter was on Modernism Abides - In a nutshell the return with technology for modernist buildings.

These buildings were a reaction to those ideals in the 1970s

Lake Point Tower, Chicago (1967)

Gunma Art Museum, Japan (1974)

HSBC Building, Hong Kong (1978)

Pompidou Centre, Paris (1977)

Looking ahead to Week 4

Work doesn't slow down, we've got a design submission this coming week......

Our site is located adjacent to the Campanile, very industrial context.......

Week 3: Felt like a portfolio week

A real rough week, a Design Theory test, and pushing presentation for the PG Bison Competition... It came out proper....

The brief asked for a open air cinema, under a bridge in the Maboneng Precinct.....

This was my proposal, very pleased with my presentation...........

Design Theory Test

Well we have a upcoming test and really we studying is how thoughts of architecture went from the Perceptual (Traditional) to the Conceptual (Modern)...... Excited stuff......

Traditional House (Perceptual )

Modern House (Conceptual)

That's basically what our test is made of, what were the premises of Modernist Architecture. How did we move from perceptual to the conceptual..... Very interesting peeps..... And I'll fill you in........
