more sketches?

CoCA-building-aerial.jpg

Have been finding it hard to try and visualize just how the building will come together. For starters which side is which (this pic above helped me with that), where are the other building's in relation to the coca building? And what I'd really like to see is some inside sketches of the building. Do we get access to some of these later or do we have to draw up our own initial inside sketches and then put our graphics etc. into the space?





web page

I wanted to have a bit of a play and see how my logo could be interactive within a web based space. This is just a bit of a trial. When you put your curser over a letter (eg. in pic 2 it's over the C), that becomes the only letter with a photographic inside. The letters then all disburse and a web page pops up with info etc. The pink photo is just something I picked out in the photography section. It could be any work students had done, so each time you visit the website you see something else - feeding into the 'inspiring' thing. 








Could utilize the same logo shapes within way finding, just as a quick example.

Designers Work Spaces

I figure if I want to go with the idea of a designers playground, then I need to see how different people work, what do inspiring work spaces look like and how can i evoke the same feeling in the building?


Cool shaped stuff


I love the idea of flexible work spaces within the building. I'm not all that sure how stable some of these arrangements are, but something that 2 can be a flexible relaxation space would suit the building.

Further ideas


A sketch from my workbook I decided to develop and play with some more in illustrator. I don't want it to look too much like a heart so I put some students photography work into it to see how that could work.


Once there is an image with the words, or no txt at all it starts to look more designerly and not so structured and proper. It needs to look fun and playful, not too serious. Time to try some more colour and see what happens.

Brainstorming and rough sketches


Simplified shapes and building out of letters, proved to be harder that I first expected.

Looking and speech marks and conversation, sharing and interaction where learning takes places.


Looking at taking shapes out of patterns to create a font/can relate back to objects in space and interactive pieces.
