Almost there..

Lots of ticking of the boxes now, webe page and France project finally out of the way so I at least for the last days/weeks just have this lovely hadlow project to concentrate on, and no of course I'm not tired of it..=) think it is the stress and almost having a nervous breakdown every other day combined with no sleep that makes me a bit sketchy, but hey who should complain i did chose to do this degree..Finishing off my 1:200 today, just about one week and a half to late and since i have never done any detail and constructions drawings so that week would have been good to concentrate on it, never understood that we had to present 1:50 on the 19th tough tought it was all due on the 5th, oh well i know i'll survive like all of us and have something there by the end..Oh and by the way my finished webpage is on emmanyman.com if there's any interest..

My Web page

Have finished my design for my web page and are now building it, a completley grid baased design to make it simple. the building is going slowly but steady forwards still another couple of weeks to go. Hers's my homepage (middle pic) and then the design of the two coming pages that will come after clicking on schoolwork/work (3rd pic) and then more detail of the projects (1st pic) tough no images are showing here since i didn't needed that for the layout of the design and can't show any images from the detail design of the Greenwich project until it's been submitted which it will be in a week..

Some changes...

well felt abit unsatisfied with my last images and after printed them out to have aproper look a did some small changes like animating with some birds and change some people to just create some more life into them and feel more satisfied now and here's also some model pics

Another image example

Just to keep calm..

easter holiday seemed so long...guess it wasn't beacuse on thursday it's back to school again and i still have quite alot to do on both web page, Loire project and hadlow..Find it very difficult to be organised and work on three projects at the same time, so much easier when it's just one thing to concentrate on, it's just to keep calm and not stress i suppose but must admit that Jamie has been starting to show up in my dreams....well easter's been nice with a visit to sweden and house mving, the actually moving part not so nice but the flat is a lot better and I even have a phone and internet! felt abit lost without it, have internt on work but lots of deadlinea before easter so no time for blogging..but this won't be long either because i need to get back to work on those presentation images..here are two examples, not sure if I'm satisfied with the result but no time for changes..keep on working everyone not too long to go before summer, holidays and football worldcup!

Soon holiday but no break..

Just left a comment on david watson's blog about designing and music which definitley go hand in hand for me especially when I'm at home working by myself. in sweden we always did the work in a design studio where everyone and their desk and the music was always on, i like to have movement and sound around me realised that i easily feel a bit isolated sitting at home working and never leaving the house some days before a deadline is coming or maybe not even the bedroom where i do most of my work, a bit sad really. Now when the holidays are coming there are no long trips out to Eltham which is nice but definitley long hours at home working, realised that hgis break means no hours in school but i defintley have a lot of work to do on myproject...Thank god for that music then otherwise I think I'll go insane..About the alcohol thank god for that to, red wine makes it so much easier to stay up those long hours before a deadline, hopefully i don't have to re-do this year because i don't know what alcohol units a week more deadlines like this would take me up to..

work

took a break from cadding up drawing and went loooking trough the blogs, so much good work going on and realised that maybe i should do some blogging too, don't know what to post tough really, started working on the project again today afte getting some inspiration on monday but at the same time realising how much there is to do and think about,think i need to do a list..well have spent some tought about junctions of my materials and am definitley coming closing to a solution...

Definitely a thinker...

Lots of decisions to be made for the moment, why does it have to be so difficult?? Definitely feel like a proper thinker for the moment, lots of things going around up there in neverending circles, trying to get stuff down on paper to make definite conclusions but it's just not working..trying to go back to concept, main ideas and why i'm making these decisions which just makes me more confused and adding my confused definition of how I wanna use sustainability I'm just totally confused, not able to make any decisions or any work...Have literally just been staring at my work this week, picked up the pen quickly on Tuesday but put it down very fast again...Think I got designer's block if that exists...With this lack of work I've concentrated on other stuff like house hunting instead, need to move in April, always liked looking for houses in Sweden but must admit that after couple of hrs searching and 3 viewings here in London I realized it ain't gonna be much fun, just a pain until something shows up and it's so time consuming..Maybe that's why I didn't get anything done.. Oh well I hope there will be a better week next week schoolvise and more productive..And why aren't bamboo native to the UK??? Would solve so many of my sustainablity problems since native planting is my sustainable planting concept but i like bamboo, and gleditsia and i'm soo bored with my idea....maybe feel better about it tomorrow..=)

some more process

process, progress??

Last week David Watson discussed the purpose of the blog with us in our advanced presentation class since there had been some problem with this article, myself i don't mind it all, after all it's allready on the web...Anyways he was talking about the importance of using the blog to post up work while we where in our process of it and reflect over it and that the blog could be helpful to take a step back, look at it and think about what we're doing, well that's how i understood it. Realised that i have found it very difficult to do that. i don't mind blogging, posting things i like or what i have done but while in the actual process take the time to take pictures and put it up here has seemed very difficult and doing it has just felt time assuming and not reflective at all but i guess it is time to make a change. On the left is part of my process that i showed monday, have been working all week so nothing new have been added but there are some toughts spinning around in my head that needs to get down on paper which I will do tomorrow, so maybe by publishing my process it will help me to reflect over it and more progress will be done, at least i hope so

sections

here are the sections that i presented togheter with my masterplan, it's quite funny to look at them now since one of the sections is around the design studio which is my detailed area and realising how it all changes..
