Seminar on Space and Place in New Environments

Ti and Alan presented their seminar today as part of the Principles of Interactive Design module. They discussed various public digital art installations, responsive architecture and the future of digital advertising in cities. I picked up a few nice leads that will be useful for my final year project too! Well done guys!

Some More Sketches for Sensory Garden

Sensory Garden Proposal

Our group had a meeting today to finalise our proposal for Monday 21st. Our proposal includes two zen gardens, a rain chain water feature, a creeper plant to climb the lamp post, two slate drawing areas, a selection of herbs and healing plants, mirror balls of various sizes and a series of coloured flags. We are also proposing to construct a bamboo fence on two sides of the garden to provide shelter and to make the space more intimate.

Masters Final Project

I had a chat today with course director Mikael Fernstrom regarding my final project. I will be submitting a revised proposal this week and posting details here soon. I'm much happier with my slightly altered direction. Updates soon...

Some Mock-ups for the Sensory Garden

Our group will be presenting our proposals for the sensory garden at the end of this week/start of next week. I really need to get hold of a scanner so I can start uploading sketches, and the like. The one in our lab doesn't seem to be functioning (hint, hint, Mikael!). Here are a few ideas in done in PS.

A series of long, tapered flags base on the colour wheel to be installed in the flower beds:

We are also working with the idea of having large sheets of slate for drawing on with chalk:
