After getting it all together frantically for the review, I was left feeling happy with what I had come up with but disatisfied at the same time. I felt my concepts were strong but I had just not given myself enough time to explore different parts of the project, parts that may have been more important in conveying the design than others for review day. As seen in my posters below, I spent considerable time on the planning and my facade worked, but as pointed out by the review panel, I didn't explore the design 3-dimensionally as well as could have been and didn't have any sort of images to show this.
After reading about industrial design there were 2 phrases that stuck in my mind most that Shakespeare had written and that apply to industrial design. They are:
'Ornament is but the guilded shore to a most dangerous sea'; and
'Weary, stale, flat & unprofitable'.
Perhaps in future assignments I should spend more time on presenting my ideas to enable others to understand the building and what it might be like to inhabit it. More time also needs to be spent on thinking of the building as a whole 3-dimensional form, not as seperate entities driving by planning, elevation, then a model.
