This week was half term for the school, so we stayed in Cardiff and developed our scheme after having all the feedback from the school. This has been very beneficial as we have been able clarify what we are going to do and work out what materials we need to do this. We have broken down everything that we are planning on making as we have estimated that it will fit into our budget, we have also created this sheet to show our costs so that we can show the Arts Council, exactly how we’ve spent their money. We do not know all the costs yet, but this is because we are still looking at where we should buy the products from.
We have also finished our SketchUp model, this will not only be beneficial to help show the scheme to the school but it also benefits us hugely when it comes to making the fixtures and the model is to scale and we can use this to aid us when building the furniture to scale.
This week we are waiting on the materials to be ordered and arrive. So we can start to bring this project to life.
I strongly believe that the environments that we live in profoundly affects us as individuals. Having a sense of comfort and belonging in a space can nurture us to have a healthy mindset and outlook on life. I am driven to make a difference and improve the lives of others through design, whilst simultaneously demonstrating the impact that our environment has on us. This ethos is applied to every design that I create.
My driving principle is to create a space that will change someone's life for the better, as well as being unique, inspiring, and captivating; something no one has seen before and will never forget. During any stage of the design process I allow myself to imagine how it would feel to be in the space that I am creating, and how I want it to feel for all the users of this space, but also how the clients wants it to feel. I try to express this emotion and feeling through my designs, to portray the space to the best possible standard. I have always been intrigued in how every individual feels differently when the confront a space and I want to utilise these feelings within my work.
My work aims to create something fascinating that will stand out, but also encourage an emotional response to an environment. The projects that I have been a part of have shown me that I am determined to create something profound and impactful that will change how we see our current environments; working as an individual or as part of a team. I believe that this year I have done this on a very small scale, this has only encouraged my passion to design.
