TKO

Technische ontwikkeling: Kennis en Ontwerp - Technical development: Knowledge and Design

Artistieke ontwikkeling: Kennis en Ontwerp - Artistic development: Knowledge and Design

Assignment: create layers with information about the school building. 

Product: An open box with layers consisting of different types of materials. 

Reflection: information can be divided in two types: hard (something visible, measurable) and soft (to sense it, a mood or a feeling).

Artistieke ontwikkeling: Techniek en Vaardigheid - Artistic development: Technics and Skills

Assignment: create a scale model of one of your existing projects with a maximum of two types of materials. 

Product: the Transformatorhuis from Blok 1 has been made out of plexiglass. The walls are completely translucent and the furniture (three blocks) is matte. 

Reflection: this type of material seems to be quite hard and cold. Depending on the purpose of the model, adding colour or another type of material could soften the mood.

Project

Assignment: create a working space for your idol. You must make a route which takes the user from the entrance to the working area. The size of the available space is 7x11x7m.

Product: The japanese animator and film director Hayao Miyazaki is my idol. His love for nature and sarcastic view on the humans and their industry/technology are the base of my concept: the nature is freeing itself from the humans' grasp. 

Reflection: getting carried away with the steel plates and lighting, I forgot to pay attention to the route and the interior. Next time I should make the sketching models bigger to have a better look at the space.
