Oh dear oh dear oh dear... truthfully a few colourful french words could be right on the dot to how I m feeling at the moment. And how can one design and feel insprired whilst in this mindframe? My designs are going well, so are the theory resarch submissions, and thankfully i havent failed anything yet, BUT! but there is FRASTRARTION... and i need to vent!
What are our varisty fees paying for?! Its rediculas, we hardly see our lectureres, if we do, its such as short amount of time, 10 minutes a week, that we cant explain and produce our design process and receive a crit that will help within 4 minites! We dont get printed out notes, briefs or textbooks, we dont get plotting credits and we dont get software (that works!) Why pay R10 000?
AT the moment I am trying to once agian load 3D MAX onto my PC - and it fails. No one else can get the 2009 MAX to work... I havent slept, and yes - in a bad mood. How am I going to submit my 3D MAX tut when I cant get the programme to work... Im going to make some coffee, have a chocolate muffin and out my thinking cap on....

what a week!
oh wow... what a week! two sleepless nights. one presentation and one submission and as always (in my case) a great allergy attack to leave me lifeless!
On Thursday we presented our "exhibition space". The brief was abstract, but i felt that it was so important that i explored my design theories about deconstructive deign and composing it with contemporary. I focused on developing a already existing public space and improving the spatial design as well as providing a function. So i chose a bus-shelter, as i saw this to attract and serve all target markets. I needed that space to be simple yet carry the design language that i wanted to explore and achieve within my spatial design for mu building.
I liked my bus-shelter, but it was so hard to determine what the lecturers wanted, and looking at what the class presented, with such diversity, it is really hard to pinpoint where one stands. but considering that my design was finally finalized at my SECOND crit, the day before the presentation - i think i pulled off what i was aiming for...

On Friday, after another sleepless night, we had to submit our 3D cad rendering. Oh... that was the lowest point, CAD was "killing" me! Having not been using 3D cad for 2 years - i had to teach myself all over again. I suppose it was a really good exercise, but what i submitted looked like a magazine cut-out collage... oops! but in all honestly, as shocking as it was, i learnt a lot, and can only hope that with more practice - i will improve.. WATCH THIS SPACE :)
