Evaluation

So far i'm generally happy with the progress I've made so far with regards to creating an identity for the new building's foyer and a interesting way finding concept. More or less, from the very beginning I had my mind set on a very simple, modern, minimalistic look, which would hopefully create a nice chilled place but would also offer students a good, functional working space. At this point in time, to put across and store my initial ideas I've done some research surrounding brands, The Brit School, and inspirational architecture and artists. However, one of my targets will be to step up the reseach I do and really work on making it more in depth and linking the reseach to my own work and ideas. Aswell as research, I have currently done a few sketches of my design concepts, which I do believe work well and show that my idea has some potential. To improve upon these sketches I plan to do more and to also do some designs digitally in order to make them look that little bit more professional. I think that a really worth while part of this project was carrying out a questionnaire which Brit school students were asked to answer about their thoughts and feelings towards the Brit School. It proved worth while as it's key to know what the students as a whole want from the new building as really the students are who the building is for and so it needs to appeal to them. From doing this project I've learnt that it's important when designing interiors for buildings like this one that everything is functional, but you can also think outside of the box a little bit as it's meant to be unique, vibrant, exciting and new. I have really enjoyed this design project as it really is offering us all a great opportunity, as it allows us a chance of putting our print on a Brit School building. It would be amazing to think that we've left a little reminder of ourselves at the Brit School that will remain there for many years to come.
