Final update

So, the final presentation didn't go as smoothly as it could have done. Understandable, considering that this was the first time I've been able to pin up anything resembling a building. A building(s) which, incidentally, thinking about it, I've had a grand total of 2 tutorials on. Odd. Most important project of my student career and I've had the fewest (by far) tutorials. You do also tend to get panned for things that you know but haven't got in the drawing because there simply wasn't time, which I suppose is understandable if not particularly helpful.

I now have until 3pm Tuesday (that's when the printing's booked) to try and get some presentation standard drawings for this thing and get them on a board. Am I downhearted? Er...

There are some interesting spaces and relationships in there (such as the relationships between the exhibition spaces and the elevated public space) but, (and I'm at risk of labouring a point here, but this is a reflective journal...) given the time I've had and tutors restricted input, it cant be helped. I just have to make sure the drawings are spot on, and that plans and visuals agree with each other (because the design was still developing when I put the last presentation together there were some small discrepancies...).

I did say I'd be putting up some stuff, so here. Not much, but some:
