DAY 10// ITS A WRAP! After a few final alterations we are ready with our final exhibition model, design proposal document and the events film. I’d like to thank all BA students for their hard work and continuing engagement with all tasks they were given throughout the event. In the process we not only learned a lot, explored new ideas and solved numerous design problems but we also made friends and exchanged valuable skills between MA and MArch students. The successful completion of Lobby Line Up would have been impossible without your contributions, it’s been a pleasure!

DAY 10// After lunch I gathered all videos and added the new ones from this morning which I later edited for the draft film submission. It has been a long but also very productive day. This is the first time I have had to do film editing and it has been the most challenging part of events considering the short period of time I had to do it and the lack of experience using the software. I am proud and pleased with the final result but also looking forward to the feedback as there is always space for improvement.

DAY 10// The final document has been finished and is ready to be sent to our client. Giorgiana Padurean was responsible for putting together a big part of the indesign document. She did an amazing job not only engaging with every task during the last two weeks but also going the extra mile and adding work to the document during her spare time. Her efforts didn’t go unnoticed and have made a big contribution towards the successful completion of Lobby Line Up.

DAY 10// Today we spent the morning finishing off the model and making sure it’s perfect for the exhibition. Roland Burt did the final touches by applying a few layers of spraypaint and putting together the backwall and the graphics for the windows. Great effort from Roland throughout the whole event, his proactive approach is much appreciated!

DAY 09// Production of final visualisation consisted of four stages. The third stage was creating a photo collage from the 1:20 model of the winning proposal and the preferred wall graphics design. This stage required advanced photoshop skills and resulted in a transfer of valuable skills between BA1, BA2 and MArch students.

DAY 09// Production of final visualisation consisted of four stages. The first stage was adding details to the existing model in order to bring it to life and give a sense of scale. First and second year students produced small versions of books, leaflets and MSSA shirts that are usually being exhibited at the desk. The key is in the details, good job everyone!

EVENTS FILM// It may be Sunday but we keep on working hard to make sure everything goes to plan. Today was dedicated to video editing and putting together the content we have gathered for our events film. Final touches tomorrow and we are ready for submission!

DAY 08// Visualise, draw, make! Day 08 consisted of a lot of drawing, testing and refining which was then translated onto a 1:20 model of the proposal. All students took on board previous feedback from the client and fifth year students and through critical thinking managed to solve many design problems. Not being resistant to criticism is always a challenge but once you learn to take both positive and negative feedback on board you can reflect and design better, which is something all BA students learned during this event.

DAY 07// FELIX EXTON-SMITH // The key is in the details. We want to provide the client not only with standard GA drawings and visuals but also with detailed drawings of all modular elements and the proposed joints. Due to the location of our site near a fire escape route, one of the key requirements was to provide modular elements that could be rearranged and removed if needed. Felix explored different ways to achieve that through a number of sketches.

DAY 07// Today we started with a design review on the modular elements, their design, function and the proposed detailing. Everyone are working hard on the final drawings and we are more than excited for the outcome.

DAY 04 // After deciding on the winning proposal we had a group meeting where we listed down all design problems and had a discussion on how we could solve them. New groups were formed, each responsible for different design aspects. Everyone spent the day working within their group, to develop their skills, but also collaborating with all the other groups to ensure the design comes together seamlessly - a skill everyone will need in practice!

DAY 04 // ANNA BEZULSKA // Anna was part of the group responsible for the detailing of the modular elements at the front of the desk. Her group experimented with sketches and test models which were later translated into 3D modelling softwares where the design was developed further.

DAY 04 // FELIX EXTON-SMITH // After reviewing all design proposals and the comments from the MSSA, we have decided to go ahead with the scheme by Group 1.

DAY 03 // THEO PLOUTARHOU, SHARANJA DE ZOYSA & CHAN PUI CHARLES are the members of Group 3. They imressed us all with their 3D modelling skills and how quickly they applied the required changes after receiving feedback from the MSSA.

ROLAND BUIT, YEUN LEE & MICHAEL ADEBAYOARE are the members of GROUP 2. Even after the day was over they continued working to develop their visual further. Good job group 2!

FELIX EXTON-SMITH // DAY 03 // Felix did an amazing job today not only with his impressive presentation skills but also with his 3D modelling skills. He modelled his group's design proposal in Sketchup in a very short period of time which gave his group more time to work on the visuals in context.

CHARLES HO // DAY 03 // Charles produced numerous sketches to develop his group's idea further. Great sketching skills, which were later used to develop 3D models using Sketchup.

DAY 03// All groups took a very proactive approach and produced numerous sketches and models of their design proposals. Each group pinned their work up in the morning and was ready to present in front of the MSSA. The winning proposal will be chosen by the end of the day and announced on Monday morning. Great effort from all groups today, we are very impressed!

DAY 03// Today all groups presented their design proposals in front of the MSSA. Winning proposal will be announced on Monday. The rest of the day was spent on software training after which students had the output of creating a visual of their proposal in context using 3D modelling softwares and Photoshop.

DAY 03// We make sure each day is vlogged so that we can produce a short film at the end of our event.

DAY 01// Students were divided in four different groups, each with different tasks for the day, ranging from surveying the space and producing drawings to research and contacting potential manufacturers.

DAY 01 // After the event introduction and getting to know each other we proceeded with the risk assessment and made sure every student is aware of potential hazards.

After discussing the fire regulations and establishing the parameters for our proposal we conducted a site survey.

Today we spent the morning discussing various design opportunities incorporating modular and flexible design spaces. This allowed us to revisit both the brief and the risk assessment and finalise them.
