Peer Review 1 - Augmented Reality & 1:1 Model Detail

Having our work crit'd by our fellow class mates is quite a different experience. We got to discuss our projects from a more 'student-student' perspective that differs from crit's with our tutors.

Donna's response to 'waking-up' focused on creating a space for privacy, which I found interesting because her design was extruded from an existing building. However she had trees partially surrounding her design which complimented with her theme of privacy. Her design included checked facade which allowed light to come through without actual exposure of what was inside. Both Donna's augmented reality drawing and 1:1 model was done very well.

Yolie looked into 'waking-up' on water which I thought was a brilliant idea. Her design was located on the water of Mahuhukiterangi Reserve (near Vector Arena). Her 1:1 model was a transparent plastic mold of rocks (located at water-level) which one can massage their feet upon and experience the coolness of the water. Her design was focused on an experience which I believe was a unique approach.

Chirag's design was looked upon 'waking-up' at Mahuhukiterangi Reserve, on top of an art monument piece (shaped as a hammock). Chirag created a composition of entangled metal 'vines' which was used as abstract louvers to allow for just the "right amount of sunlight to seep through". Chirag's idea was inspired when research upon shadow puppets and he me the different shadow/light effects created from his 1:1 model. I found Chirag's idea very intriguing particularly the forms created from his design model.
