The inspiring animation was produced by the architectural student Nigel Dakin. On his own words:

“Demand for resources in the consumer world is ever increasing. Investments are made to search for locations deeper inside the world’s last remaining natural landscapes that have remained unchanged for millennia. The western world encroaches upon the civilizations of primitive tribes that sustain their existence from the rich ecosystems of the rainforest. In the near future the last native tribes of the amazon rainforest will become engulfed within the world of money, consumption and modern commodity.

This project represents the process of growth and decay as the western world searches for new horizons in which to extract resources to enable growth. With the discovery of these precious resources comes great riches and as has been seen with the gold and diamond towns of the americas and the oil rich middle east, cities grow rapidly. The city grows as the resources decay. Yet, what happens when the supply runs dry? When the riches can no longer be extracted? What future does our consumer civilization have without the balance of growth and decay?”

First of all congratulations for all the second year students from Inter 3! All the portfolios and projects moved a long way from last week + the oral presentations were eloquent and rich.

More feedback soon!

Third Years:

The tutorials on Wednesday the 5th will be a combination of drawing workshop and portfolio review. It is very important for you to have both (main drawings + organized/right order portfolio) in order to make better use of the time given for the tutorial.

For drawings the discussion will be specific about resolution of information, clarity, technique and atmosphere of each project. Alice Labourel will be running a one to one brainstorm workshop about how to work on your drawings. Bring questions, printed material and your laptops!

In parallel we will also run a quick rendering workshop reviewing a few basics and specifics in group and later individually with tips and tricks with each student.

Recap: bring your new drawings printed, printed portfolio (arranged in the right order and highlighting what is missing with notes), laptop and specific questions!

14:40 Rendering tips and tricks (ALL)

P.s: If second year students have their portfolio at the studio please feel free to share/show them with/for the third year students – they have loads of exciting ideas! The best time for this would preferably after the rendering workshop.

Below are some interesting and very different ways of drawing building sections, elevations, plans, 3d views etc for your inspiration. Even though a drawing should have a certain clarity and precision / resolution, they still can be very expressive, lively, atmospheric, speculative…

of course there are many more…!

On Friday all second year students need to bring the portfolio in, arranged in the desired order and highlight what’s still missing. It is essential that most of the material is printed so we can discuss sequence, presentation and the year as a research and project. All portfolios must include pictures of unit trip, dossier, architectural case studies and references and process booklets as necessary.
