Week 2 Lecture - Reflection

This weeks lecture was about site, context, interpretation & (beyond) representation.


Key points brought up by Yasu during the lecture:

  • Site and project context - Must be what is given
  • She sheds have to remain because they are heritage listed
  • We need to find a suitable position within our sites for the Folie design


Some ideas for the A1 poster:
  • Have a heroic image of the Folie? Something attract the viewer from far away.
  • Font reasonable size (not too small or too large).
  • Site context needs to be given on the poster - WHERE? 
  • Think about structural elements - HOW can we actually stand the building?
  • Choice of materials - WHY?
  • Colour? - be true to the materials and utilise its propertise?  Use paint or texture to cover its 
  • Make sure the Folie fits at least one person
  • Cold, warm? What feeling to people get from visiting the Folie? possibly show this on the poster?
  • Use diagrams to explain the concept.


Some of the interesting exemplars shown in the lecture: 
  • Jen Nouvel - Serpentine Gallery, Summer Pavillion
  • Kennett Snelson - Needle Tower 
      • Good example of tension and compression done well.
      • Transparency through the structure.
  • Daniel Libeskind - Memory machine  (Lebbus Woods have done a log entry about this design)
  • Tado Ando - Church of light
  • Richard Serra - Intersection 2.
      • Idea about presence and how the house can be installed on site.
      • How a house could be brought into the site.
