Day six - the models looked great together and made our presentation a lot more visual and tactile.

Day six - on the final day we presented our team ideas for the space to Saskia, the creative director at Z-arts.

Day five - we split into groups of four and then discussed how our ideas could fit together as one proposal, taking aspects of all of them and working to solve issues with each, as a team. The next couple of days were spent model-making in order to creatively represent our design.

Day four - individually, we presented our initial proposals for the room and/or outside space. We used precedents, drawings and models to convey our ideas. Getting feedback from both the client and 5th years really helped to develop the designs further. This is my proposal for wrap around pods which can be used as both partitioning walls and as an enclosed space for creative play.

Day two - we used the information gathered from our site analysis to produce a collection of plans, sections, diagrams and photo montages so as to better understand the space. With these, we could then begin to think about how to redesign the space to fit the requirements of the client.

Day one - we visited the site of Z arts to grasp an idea of how the building functioned with its various hosting requirements - from dance and drama to music, children’s play and this redundant gallery space. We were told that the room in question was to be redesigned to be multifunctional and ignite the imagination of children from just months old to 15 years. What particularly interested me was the enclosed outside area and the suggestion that the room might be opened up to create a better dynamic between inside and out.
