Selecting Work for inclusion in Publication
During the earlier stages of the project art and design students and architecture students were asked to collaborate to produce work that related to the Tecton structures at Dudley Zoo Gardens. The art and design students were also involved in

Final Concept – Group 5
We decided on 5 ‘boxes’, each one relating to one of the senses. These would be spread over the two kiosks and would mimic aspects of the original Tectons.

Model – Group 8
As a group we came together to construct our final model for our tecton walkway. We use a timber frame, with a plastic insert to prevent the wood from absorbing the moisture for the plaster, and sticking to the frame.

Precedent
SOCA ‘The London Dresser’ is one of our precedents which demonstrate a live scaled model of the London South-bank showing the buildings on a scale which people can touch them and interact with them. This allows people to analyse and

Final scheme drawings – Group 8
Following from the physical model making, i have created a 3D computer model of out structure, showing how the tecton walkway will be used as an exhibition space, as well as a mapping and educational monument which leads to people

New member joins the group – Group 8
After being informed that we were getting a new member into our group, there was some concern on how it would affect the dynamics that we had constructed over the previous month or so. The was a discussion on whether

Casting workshop – Group 8
The castingwork shop was extremely useful, as it informed our design and made us realise a number of issue with our concept. We originally decided to construct an instillation our of pre-fabricated concrete, using the original 12 Tectons as inspiration.

Original Scheme – Group 8
The original scheme was to create a new Tecton instillation which would derive inspiration from the existing Tectons, by abstracting forms for the original structures. The main reason for this would be to educate people on the structures and try

Initial Ideas
Following the visit to Dudley Zoological Gardens each member of Group eight drafted a variety of designs to be explorer and discussed during our review. This allowed us to learn about individual strength the group would have, and what direction

Scheme B working models – Group 4
As previously discussed the scheme was modeled in an effort to create further clarity within the design. The clarity would enable the group to for see any issues and address them, and would also allow the client to better understand
