We were given the task this summer of choosing our first project of the year and doing the majority of our preparation research for it before we start back. Well, I haven't done quite enough yet. I picked the subject matter for the project back in June, only a week or two after the end of term, with the intention of getting a head start on it and being ready to start making as soon as I got back to uni. This was a little optimistic of me.
I have the model subject matter, which is good. It's a concept design for a temporary venue at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It's designed to stand in the square outside St. Giles Cathedral just off the Royal Mile. It's a contemporary and very sleek design, utilising the space wisely by splitting the area it cordons off into two level by use of a ramp. It's a university piece by freelance designer Jonathan Knox and is named 'Street Per_Form'.
I looked into a few other designs, both architectural and product design-based but chose this piece quite simply because it's an interesting design and would, I think, make a really nice model at the right scale and with the appropriate materials.
