Hand or Computer?
That is the Question
So a complete re-think on the design in general, got a bit lost in the detail....
No change there then.
So after the crit (some really good work from the rest of the group!!)
A comment was made may be i should do more hand drawn stuff.
So started a couple of sketches out of (my head), showed Robert, who reminded me that employers like computer stuff...so back to rendering in P/S etc
Looking down on the dock
Looking down from the upper public platform to the working dock. Industry is part of the landscape and part of the context of North Woolwich
Ink pen, coloured pencils, a bit of PS for shadow.

Photoshop
Containers, ship texture etc. Though other textures and materials were hard to find from this angle. Seems to work ok.
Ship in dock from the River
Sky and Shadow P/S, the rest as above.
Photoshop etc.
Pleased with the reflection, grudge style on the ship, etc. A lot of improvement possible, but must get on.....

NW view from a London Pigeon
It's a start
Updated and built in Sketch up 8 model, a quick fly through to give an idea of the size and composition of the site.
Still loads to think about especially after todays lectures.....

Zeroed In
Don't do small
Well after some debate (and some chat with Paul) decided not to try and cram my MP on A1. Due to the fact that the next scale down from 1;2500 is 1;5000 it just was lost on A1. So A0 it is.
Lots of explaining to do to justify the drawing, which can only be done with sequential's and flow digrams. No point writing an essay when the 1000 word rule works with a picture (plus spelling and grammar mistakes are not so obvious).
Added a high street for destination and node.
No slogan or log yet..
bed zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Masterplan
Almost There
Like all struggling with the beast, that is master planning. I keep thinking about the quote from James Corner that master planning can sometimes lead to an alienation of the site, as in reality the site will be used and seen from a human eye line perspective. So I have constantly tried to visualise each area, creating visual references along routes, nodes, Fused Grid theory etc. So it may look a bit jumbled (ie not that pretty) from a plan view (and to be honest only Gulls and Crows will have that pleasure), but hopefully the journeys through the greenways to destinations, whether as a visitor or resident, will act as an encouragement to leave the Car at home ( along with the fused Grid idea of the Car route is less convenient than walking).
Visuals
Once annotated, I get on with the many (eye level) visuals that will be needed to explain the flow, beauty and hope that I would like to bring to North Woolwich.
Not entirely finished, annotation and composition etc.
