Week 12 Studio Tasks

Peer Review

• Peer Review two of your fellow students work. Use the peer review Marking Schedule from Courses on the Web.
• Peer Review the people two above and two below you within your tutor group lists from the Course Blog.
  
• Fill out all fields, and grade them as if they were being graded on there final submissions.
• Post images of the reviews that you do on other students to your blogs.

Other Tasks

• Work on getting your blog up to date, using the marking schedule as a guide to what requirements you should have.
• Get feed back on you Second Draft poster.
  

Independent Study for Week 12

• Write a first draft of your text to be included in your PDF. (The minimum of 500 words does not include titles and references). Post your text to your blogs.
  

• Create a detailed second draft of your poster, with all main elements considered. Include low quality image place-holders of your intended final renders and images, and low quality versions of your embedded videos and 3D models. Also include your draft text as you intend your final text to be related to your images and content, and an early understanding of how interactivity will be achieved across your document.

• Upload a PDF version of your second draft PDF to a file sharing site, and include a link on your blog. Also include image captures of your 3 x A1 PDF pages on your blog.
  

• At this stage, not all elements need to be completely polished, but you should have an understanding of how your PDF will work, both as an interactive digital presentation, and as a large format poster.
  

Week 11 Studio Tasks

• Using the representation styles discovered from research into your case study on your chosen architecture, your A3 montage and the graphic grid you developed for Week 10 as a basis, create a first draft layout for your final 3 page A1 PDFs.

• As you develop your layout, you will need to think about your Interactive PDF on two levels; as a set of posters that can be viewed from a distance, and as an interactive digital presentation, that can be navigated around and viewed on a small screen for detailed scrutiny.

• For your final hand in you will submit two PDF's, an interactive PDF that will incorporate all of your multi-media elements (this would be the version that a client would view on a small screen), and a print version PDF, that will only have elements that would be printed (this would be the version that a client would print out for display panels). This means that you will need to consider which elements will be printed, and provide the necessary settings to make this achievable.

• Familiarise yourself with the tools and techniques shown in the demonstration, and be sure that you have the necessary understanding to achieve your desired results.

• Continue developing your ideas, and refining your models. Set up video sequences in video editing software, considering itegration of media and graphics. Test exporting models and videos in the various formats required for your final PDF.
  

Independent Study for Week 11

• Gather up to 10 textures that relate to your ideas, and that you would like to use as materials in your redesign, using concept development and montages as a basis for your material choice.

• Conduct more detailed research on your chosen architecture, concentrating on styling and representation techniques (development sketches, techniques of layout, plans, axonometrics, perspectives, etc.). You will need to explore further than the internet do do this. You will have to go to the library and search books and journals to find relevant content. Post your research to your blogs, including complete referencing for your material.

• Bring your individual re-envisioned models to a high degree of modeling resolution, in preparation for obtaining high quality renders, raw video footage for video editing purposes and quality models for embedded 3D content in your final PDF. Post interior and exterior image captures of your model to your blog.
  

End of group work today...

• In your groups, this is your final chance to get your accurate model and image comparisons completed, and posted to your blogs.

Individual work from now on...

• Finalise your concept for the re-representation of the Vitra Design Museum, thinking creatively, and using a combination of images, montages, sketches, text and quick models to highlight your ideas. Post all work to your blogs.

• Begin modeling your individual concepts and ideas, to a high level of resolution, considering construction, site context, materials, details and any other aspects of architectural resolution that you believe are pertinent to your scheme.
