Conceptual Model of Death of the physical and death of the digital memory

Some sense of scale of the size of the drawings on our main wall

Some taster photos of the final final product of the five and half month thesis. With a recharged self and camera, some better photos will follow soon. External examination on Friday, degree show exhibition opening on the 22 June - if you in Liverpool, you should come and have a look at the University of Liverpool School of Architecture - and then graduation on the 19 July. The end of an amazing two years finishing the L O N G road to architecture-dom...

{ - Crit 4 - Final Crit - }

After many a really late night and some lack of sleep...it suddenly dawned on us that tomorrow (Wed 16 May) is our final formal university crit...ever. We finished pinning up at about 11pm, after starting at 6pm.

Final submission in 3 weeks...so got a lot to do still and some models to make.

Here is a quick photo from my phone of what the pin up looks like...excluding the digital element and model.

{ - The design process - }

For the last week we have been trying to get the proportions of the 'Memory Well' correct...(its now substantially bigger than we had initially (and timidly) drawn it...and 10 models later...we have a winner. Furthermore...some of the spaces along the public 'Capture' side and the Private Funerary side are becoming more exciting than we initially imagined. (Designing with models is great)

We have 13 days until the final crit... MUCH work to be done...but feeling more enthusiastic again.

{ - Interim Crit - }

The first crit with some sort of design proposal. (Rough pin up)

After a minor panic attack from the both of us in the morning, our crit went surprisingly well. The feedback on our ideas was positive, however (and ironically) our architectural creativity was lacking. This was something that had hit us like a ton of bricks the night before while pinning up.

{ - Aim for the next (final) crit - }

Define this new  architectural typology of an interface for remembrance and death and further explore and push the architectural design principles to make our intervention as exciting as the programme we are designing for. 

Lots of work to come in the next 4 weeks.
