Colour render practise




 Task: practise colour rendering ahead of colour render uni session.

Reflection: using watercolour felttip for the first time. Very quick, fun and vibrant results. Very easy to get colours messy or over saturated, and this increases when penning in line work first. Better to photocopy line work then render.

Fun practise for quick drawings. Need to work on people as usual, and just more practise with this medium which seems very well suited to sketching.

Missed the opportunity in the temple gate drawing to capture 'komorebi' - Japanese term for 'the quality of light through tree leafs'. Would be great to be able to represent this in renders.

Wk9 Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe

Sir Jeffery Jellicoe experienced Classicism, Modernism and Postmodernism eras as a Landscape Architect, realising before many architectures of the time the deep theoritical processes behind designing and creating extraordinary places for people. Integating the visible and invisible world became a key methodology.  Jellicoe was able to fuse his knowledge of these artistic eras with the Kennedy Memorial project at Runnymede, UK. Here, he rejects ‘form follows function’ principles, and instead creates a ‘post-modernism’ experience which fuses japanese zen gardenmaking, Christian Pilgrim’s Progress waymaking with classical landscape elements. This pathway leads to a more modernist experience, with the Kennedy Memorial Stone sculpted as a slightly distorted ‘floating’ funerary slab, speaking Kennedy’s name. Of greatest note are granite setts which form the pathway. This uneven, already seemingly ancient pathway shows Jellicoe’s deep understanding of invisble forces such as time. This pa...

Wk 3 - North Place Concept 1 (Sketchbook)

Image
  Inspired by site survey work and contexts of Cheltenham, the bodyshape of a lying down horse sits itself very well into the space along the main desire and wayfinding lines, and sun path. The horse's bodyshape hides and empathises the buildings I wish conceal and reveal. There is more to this concept, which I will explore, develop and reveal in other drawings.

Wk8 Adriaan Geuze (Professional Practise)

 In Adrian Geuze's acceptance of the IFLA Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Award in 2022, he spoke about his practise, West 8, being deeply rooted in a systems approach to designing spaces for the public. 'engineer meets poet'. He identifies landscape architecture as a prominent defender of public space, to mitigate and create places for people which deal with the social environment and economic demands of the age. Maxima Park, in Utrecht in the Netherlands, is one such example to systems thinking landscape architecture. Maxima park is weaved through the settlement of Ulrecht, creating a multitude of spaces for the public to use, engage with and get lost amongst. The park is interlink through the waterways and wetlands which conceal and reveal different landscaping in which a great variety of social activities can be done. The freezing over of this waterway conjoins the landscape in a new way, the park and people able to adapt and enjoy the vast seasonal shifts. The public space here ...
