Wood Wharf II - the last week

So I ended up putting in the  hours to get it finished.  I was quite pleased with the result and what I managed to do and actually I started to feel like a designer for the first time. 

Although I had "finished" I went through my submission with Paula and had a list of tweaks. I had resolved there was no way I was going to do any touch up before submission that perhaps if time I could do before handing in my submission in next month.  But....

...me being me couldnt let it go knowing that I could improve it so I spent today tweaking. Then once I had that done I spent hours trying to save it, reduce it and send it.

Wood Wharf I - the last 2 weeks

Last Monday I got pretty frustrated with Wood Wharf.

A technical brief for an ideas competition.  I would have preferred to do something arty but felt I had to adhere to the brief.  I dont know how one could deliver a collage and still deliver the brief.

So I went through the technical route and built the model to scale in sketchup - very time consuming.  Anway in the end it was a case of I started so I'll finish ...

As a means to the end, I  bolted the main raw unfinished criteria together for my first crit as I wanted to find out what I needed to do.  The output didnt reflect the input, but how could it be anything else at this stage?
