Salvaged -Group1 MA.M

After the site visit , we decided as a group to represent textures and we have picked 4 main materials which we believed better represented the site allocated: timber, concrete , metal and moss. Here is one of our precedent,

Zero Carbon

The Zero Carbon Co.Lab aim was to modify and manipulate an existing Victorian house into a house that was zero carbon – or better a house with negative carbon figures. I picked this particular project as it fascinated me that buildings

Outcome didn’t come out as expected as the overall cast was inverted. Dried well – needed longer to work out the casting process. Worked with different textures found in and around the site. actually impressions and re modelled from memory using

MODERN GAZETEER III: Paradise [Lost] cont.

Process The process which show our sketches after edited and compiled into a single image. Experiments of fabric printing and using tessellation art technique on fabric. Clay and plaster modeling. Overall this had been a really challenging project to me.

Our aim is to preserve Paradise Circus as it will be taken down soon. It had been a landmark and monument for people in Birmingham. As it is not possible to preserve the whole site, we need to think ways

Original Idea

After discussing this idea at a tutorial we decided that it was to complicated. We therefore decided to focus on what we felt was the most important aspect of the piece, the booking carving in the centre.
