Hamish Bulmer - http://hamisharchitecture.blogspot.com/
Hamish looked into the theme of 'gathering' as a place to discuss/share/gain ideas. He developed this theme through his office for the 5 different occupations, situated close to Vector Arena. Hamish's stop animation was a journey of his design mindset. I found it difficult to follow as parts of the video were quite jumpy. However Hamish led me through his stop motion video in detail and explained his ideas and developments which helped me a lot to understand his video. In his video, he looked at the site of the building, the space and several layouts for his office. Things of interest in the video includes a mid video realization that the space he needed to design was much larger than he had imagined. This followed with Hamish's redevelopments of his office idea, and furthermore to his finished design. I was intrigued with Hamish's depth of design, in which he gave a lot of thought about what "real gathering of ideas is". Hamish also gave me a lot of advice on stop-motion videos. Overall I enjoyed crit-ting Hamish's design as it helped me to understand better of the stop-motion workshop.
Note: a link to Hamish's video will be uploaded as soon as he has uploaded it.

Bernadette's office occupants include an architect, a structural engineer, a construction manager, accountant and marketing director. Bernadette drew inspiration from La Tourette Monastery by Le Corbusier, where she looked at the enclosed courtyard as a similar feature found in Te Tao Reserve. Bernadette's design also had an enclosed courtyard but she developed it with one side open and the opposite side a lobby where she allowed public access for pedestrians to walk through. I was delighted with Bernadette's stop-motion video as it was easy to follow and was clear in expression. Bernadette included complete drawings of her building, including floor plan, section and final rendered, which where also helpful to me to understand her building. Some of the design features she included was a entire set of wooden louvers along her glass panels which I thought created a subtle but interesting facade. Overall I enjoyed crit-ting Bernadette's design as it was very well thought out and comprehensive.

Unfortunantely Campbell already left the crit after I finished crit-ting Hamish and Bernadette. Also the link for his stop-motion video did not work.
