WEEK TWO: Deliverables

WEEK TWO DELIVERABLES

THOUGHTS meet PAPER

Through discussing with my lecturer, developing on the idea of a library was the main focus of somewhere to develop skills and learn from others. From this the idea of a poetry club was formed. A space at the back for brainstorming and solitary improvement (THOUGHTS) and a space at the front for group critiques, demonstrations and implementing the thoughts (PAPER).

 

 



Plan: Plan view of my poetry development space. This shows the arrangement of the main feature - the solid oak table. This is used for discussions on poetry phrases, layout, critiques; debates on contemporary and historical works; and even for standing on for delivery.
The Shelf dividing the room in half enables the separation of an area for critique and an area of self devotion. The room on the right is shown to be spatial and comfortable.

Elevation: The flat view of the boatsheds outside. I wanted to portray the ordinariness of this view to not allow anything to show the environment and tension and discovery inside.

Section: The side cut away profile of the boatshed. I didn't think at first (before deciding on a poetical space rather than a library) that there would be enough room for all the books, space to find your own nook and retreat so I decided an underground space that extended the width would create so much space.

Concept 1.

However I altered this idea when the notion of making it a specific site of meeting (poetical discussion and development) was introduced, the idea of a lot smaller, boundary-pushing space it was, the better. This forced peoples space bubbles to be pushed together in order to collaborate on ideas which always creates an enhanced outcome. Concept 2 shows the section of that space in mind, crammed with books and material for inspiration; notice board; scroll 'pigeon holes' to leave unfinished ideas for critiques, the stone fireplace to deliver the heat, and the massive 'delivering' table.

Concept 2.

Perspective: Although this view I found the most challenging, I love the outcome. With the doors to the right, it demonstrates the many shelves, the dividing shelf, the seating arrangements in the private area which are folded out of the wall, the fireplace and chimney and the 'delivering' table.

Interior perspective: I also loved this convention as a way to depict the space I have in mind. Note: the 'delivering' table is at the forefront, showing the view exactly as it would be when you walk in.

Video: To me this video captures the environment I wanted to portray in such a place in the private area. I used W.B. Yeats as my favourite poet and an example of the on going process to form a piece of poetry.
