Conceptual
Minimalism
Modernism
Abstract
After looking in to each one in depth, it was interesting to find out about the artists and designer involved with all the eras. Once I had started my main 2 week project all the research that I had done came in really handy and provided most of my inspiration.
The main aim of the project was to pick one of the design eras and use them to inspire a piece of architecture which proved harder than I had originally planned as I had a lot of ideas of how I could interpret all my research.
My initial thought was that I would combine both the modernist and abstract eras together in order to produce a building that would show the differences between the different styles of art and design.
Here are some of the initial drawings that I produced:

By the second taught session of the week I started to look more in depth into certain artists that took my particular interest. These consisted of:
Mies Van Der Rohe
Tadao Anda
Le Corbusier
Frank Gehry
Picasso
Dali
Henry Matisse
Vasarely
Donald Judd
Piet Mondrain
Marc andre Robinson
All of these designers had some amazing pieces of architecture, sculptures and art. I think that the way we were given the chance to do some proper long term research in the subject area gave everyone the opportunity to experiment with many different and more inventive ideas when it came to actually producing a structure.
On the last day of the week I was still struggling to come up with a solid idea for my structure but I decided that I did not just want to design a building and maybe look more into a covered structure or walkway for a park.
Overall this week has been relatively productive as I have spent a lot of time research which has given me a lot of ideas to think about. However, it is quite frustrating that I have not yet come up with a solid idea that I could be working on during my self directed study days.
