Week 9: Site visit

Week 9: Site visit 


Class work: concept refinement. 


Me and lana began the first week back from holidays by constructing a mock up ottoman in the workshop to bring to the site visit. We transported the ottoman to the site visit where we placed it in various positions around the space to see which area our work would be most appropriate for. We found a small ledge  in between two window like recess's that would be perfect in elevating the couch of the ground to truly make it a feature. The window spaces aded depth to the remaining of the sculpture and the aesthetic by adding to the living room concept in making it truly look like an inside out room. The group decided to remove the arms of the couch as this would envelop the space too much and overcrowd the area. We decided on the perfect area for the work and took some measurements as to where things would be placed in relation to the street surroundings. The mock up really helped in solidifying the concept and the design spatialy to truly fit and react to it;s surrounding environment. 

Lucy and kate also developed a tumbler for the group as a public space to inform the public of our event and keep them updated with out projects process. Below are some printed out images of the tumbler page accesible at
