'A geometric line used as a graphic enhancement in page assembly - the term is
used to distinguish ruling lines from a line of type. A line can be used to represent
almost any idea that a designer can conceive.
In this workshop you will use the power of line to express your understanding of
3D structure.
Using the materials supplied by your tutor you will create the very fabric of London.'
Today's morning session with Karl was quite enjoyable, and a nice, relaxed start to the term. Again, not really knowing what to expect from the above brief, I was pleasantly surprised. The group were split in to teams of 6 and then given the brief to 'design a new iconic landmark for London to act as a major and permanent visitor attraction. Londoners can enjoy a ‘must see’ destination, which will help to regenerate London.'
We were given paper craft straws to construct whatever landmark we wanted, which we had to fix together with the materials provided. Our team created a pyramid-based architectural building by all creating pyramid structures and then assembling them together in order to make a more visual piece. We worked well as a team, as everyone was involved and no one took over too much. As for the result, I think we were all pleased with what we had come up with as although we had a basic idea, there was some free-styling involved, so the outcome had an element of surprise to it. What I like about the structure is that it works well from many angles and viewpoints, which gave us the idea that the building would be based in the Olympic Park as a viewing platform. Below are a few photographs of our structure, and what some of the other groups in the session produced today.
