At an attempt to try a new style of representation all the sheets and images were hand drawn and rendered. Some aspects of this have been more successful than other but I feel a lot was learnt out of this exercise.

Plan & Atmospheric Section

Internal Perspective Images

Sketchbook Extracts

This Project was a relatively short lasting only three weeks. The site was identified as 3 separate locations in the new urban development in Ørestad. The Current condition of the site was largely unfinished and still remained as a construction site.

This sketch looks at the existing site terrane and the potential to use that as Part or all of the building. Like a chapel inside a cave. It was after our exploration of Nordic architecture, particularly churches, it was important to have a strong connection to the natural envirnment

These sketches start to investigate the building at human scale. Looking at the seating and how it could be multi directional to suit the needs of the user.

Artefact Series

The idea of the exercise was to take an everyday object and experiment with it, placing it in real world environments outside of of its own. The intention was to see if the artefact transformed.

At first the object was positioned in everyday locations. It was a fairly alien task and the CD, to me, was still a CD. However after looking back at the pictures I can see that by placing it anywhere other then a CD rack, computer or, CD player it begins to transform.

CD placed above a picture in an art gallery. The work below the CD was a napkin photographed in various locations, similar task to the one undertaken by myself.
