Week 12...

The lecture this week was the last lecture of the unit, and therefore the last lecture of my undergraduate course. The topic of this lecture was the final presentation and what was to be expected of us and our deliverables.

It was said by Yasu that the time had no come to stop developing your concept and to start to work towards producing a presentation. This was unwelcome news to myself, as I had recently had a brief (slightly irratic) change of mind and hurriedly started to change my design to accomodate my new ideas. I decided that the time had come to start to get something together and begin to dedicate myself to it to make it work.

Further into the lecture we were shown examples of presentations and videos which help to sell a building. I found each one really interesting and was taking more of a look at animation techniques and presentation styles more than I was the architectural projects. Some basic ideas, such as opacity of certain models and grey scale were very effective, and I also enjoyed elements such as panning and zooming along one large image and giving pop up windows of increased detail.

I decided I was going to strive to do something similar.




I also really appreciated this quote, as I often feel that I am fighting against myself to meet my internal expectations. I began to realise that work, no matter if it was a success or a failure was always worth doing and ultimately always helped me to improve my skills.

I wish I had seen this quote in first year.
