Day 5: And thanks to Stuart (MSA graduate) from SimpsonHaugh who was impressed with all presentations and the amount of work produced in less than 4 days.
Posted 24 Mar 2017 18:23
Day 5: Following deliberation, it was decided we would proceed to build Group 3's concertina board and bench idea which interacted with the existing football artwork in the column and which was inspired by the striking image of Geoff Hurst's volley for England's 3rd goal in the 1966 final (the one that clearly went over the line)
Posted 24 Mar 2017 18:19
Day 5: Following yesterday's reviews and after further refinement of their sheets, the three sub-groups confidently presented their ideas for the installation to Stuart from SimpsonHaugh and Eleanor from MMU Estates. It was great to see how much work had been produced in less than 3 days - be it sketch, model and digital - not to mention the convincing ideas behind all three. Well done to all who presented!

Day 4:
We ended the day with a review of each group, to provide final feedback as a collective group, in preparation the final review on Day 5 - where the final idea will be selected for construction in Week2. Creativity flowing nicely!

In order to provide inspiration on sheet layouts and presentation techniques, the 5th year mentors showed examples of previous work to the students ready for the production of portfolio sheets. Tomorrows session will utilise these examples shown to influence the students portfolio sheets ready for Friday's presentations to external Architects.

SUGDEN SPORTS CENTRE//
Exciting meetings and discussions with Marc Valentine (duty manager at SSC) have led us to book various activities for the body and mind during events week for our team. We aim to challenge ideas of the Architect in practice - is the best way to promote creativity sitting in front of a computer screen for hours on end?
Through these scheduled activities, we stimulate a healthier wellbeing, stronger team bonds, and thus an increasingly optimised output.

THIS IS NOT A BALL//
'This Is Not A Ball' (2014) is a documentary depicting two works of Brazillian artist Vik Muniz.
The notions presented through this medium truly capture the essence of our proposed intervention. By comparing sport, in this case football, to a universal language such as math, we are able to clearly realise the inclusivity of participation sport can bring.
The stories of two of his works, one in Rio de Janeiro favela, the other in Mexico City’s gargantuan Azteca Stadium, are depicted through a series of individual stories, touching on socio-political and historical issues that surround sport, and society on a wider scale. The ball therefore becomes a concept as well as an object.
'Relive[66]' aims to encapsulate these issues in a similar way; through the use of recycled materials, methods of participation - channeled through sport. We propose to include sporting activities during the design process, to maintain a flow of creativity to maximum effect.
