Friday, November 16, 2007 crit post-mortem

so what have i learnt from this semester of design? honestly i don't really have an idea if i died for crit or not. what was questioned was something very fundamental in my design: why have i broken up the process? i suppose my mind hopes that the crit wasn't as bad as it seems and hence it decides to look at the issue from a more positive light: the execution was okay so they decide to question something that is more fundamental, whether it was necessary or not in the first place to separate. however, my other voice tells me at the same time that it could also be because these fundamental questions were not answered that's why they did not move on to discuss something else. perhaps it's like what mr g said: the separation should be such that they would not question how and why u choose to separate, but instead on how u configure spaces and etc. i suppose i hadn't been able to do that.
however i would still have to say that the space hopes to add value to the activity and the act of doing instead of just display since the space (its atmosphere etc.) may affect the activity being conducted itself. okay this might be a bit forced, but if u have knives hanging over u while u work would that make things more stressful in a way? i'm not sure myself but i dunno. if i really want to influence the act of doing would i have to go into real detail detail? the individual objects would have to be affected? so then perhaps the question was if cooking is the correct medium to look at that. hmm.
i should be less stubborn in following what i want, listen more to the tutors, understand where they are coming from and what is the concern or what is wrong in this place. then work on that and answer those queries first before moving on to the next set of issues. do not be too impatient and think that there is no time. at the same time, focus and concentrate on one thing at a time.
time management: VERY VERY important. as well as PRESENTATION (panel layout and stuff). panels should convey the important points and i SHOULD NOT spend unnecessary time drawing unnecessary elevations which i didn't complete in time anyway -.- i seriously need to plan my panels better and i suppose earlier. and hello i totally had no title saying my site was at west coast park -.-
what was the lesson i took out from the unconventional site mapping? some seemingly less important things are value added/becomes more important through these methods of isolation/framing and memory attachment.
always move back to think about issues from a larger perspective when u get lost.

move ahead, remember the lessons and study hard for exams!
