We have been working on the final design since last week, drawing up floor plans, and creating a 3D model in Sketchup. Photographs have been taken of the site both day and night, from many different angles. The design is coming together well, and we look forward to getting some feedback from the tutors on Wednesday. We have made a small rough concept physical model to show to the tutors as well.
The tutors provided some really important feedback that questioned the foundations of our design. Basically the complexity of our design was questioned, in terms of its design and its concept. We were glad for some feedback, and agreed with a couple of the points. Whilst we thought the concept was something that we wanted to stick with, we agreed it could be approved upon. As for the physical design we went straight to the drawing board and came up with some conceptual changes by warping the design. Platforms were added, ramps twisted, benches installed and a centrepoint explaining the concept and navigating the users was added. We agreed that these changes gave greater depth to the Folie, whilst creating a really striking design. With some of the glass panes reaching 5metres in height, it should be a really striking experience being among them, especially when lit up at night.
Below are initial floor plans and a conceptual sketch of the Folie design.
