Computers submission and design portfolio

The final submission!

I was the first to present and nearly went into heart failure upon seeing how many people I was presenting to!

You could have knocked me over with a leaf! I did not expect so many compliments!

My speech went fine - except that I completely omitted the proposed use of the first floor and my research and applications of adaptive research! 

I have animation video is too large to include in this blog so I will upload it to youtube today, I have included images of the rendered spaces below










.


If anyone would like to see the final portfolio, you can contact me via email:
fischerbydesign@gmail.com and I will send you the pdfs.

Technology submission


This has probably been my favorite submission to work on....I absolutely love technology. There must be something about the transparency of the requirements that makes it so fulfilling. 

Below are a few images, including:
1. Site plan
2. Construction layout
3. Elevations



Theory submission


So, I needed to bring a little sparkle into my theory document and timing wasn't on my side. My aim was to create chapter names using foiling - this costs a little fortune and requires 2 weeks lead time - not happening!

My solution was to have mirror foil vinyl cut and apply them to acetate sheets myself. The cutting and weeding was done by Mark from Compucut - they only took 1 day. And, I did the application overnight....this was quite a relaxing process. I have been feeling slightly sorry for myself as I haven't been able to get to my Christmas decorating, so this was a good substitute....with some jazzy Christmas tunes in the background!

I have included my abstract below so you can get a brief overview of the theory document.


This is the state of my life.


So, I have mentioned previously that I am a 'working' student. I run an interior design practice specializing in retail design, and as of October this year, we extended the business to include a workshop. This means that we can do our own interior fit-outs, the guys at the workshop do steel and woodwork so we can cover just about everything. In saying this, you can well imagine the shitty timing!!!!

At the moment, I have 6 sites running and we have 3 fit-outs happening! Life is a tad daunting! My car is the pit containing the ruins of each day...including 5 empty cups of coffee, 2 mugs and possibly 20 half empty water bottles.

Is the glass half empty or half full?
