After the two week break has come to an end, its time to get back into the swing of things. - Damn.
The break became more or less correspondence study rather then an actual break. I tried my best to be as productive as possible by creating a to do list. This was beneficial as it clearly outlined what I needed to get done to remain on schedule. - Whether I stuck to the to do list or not is another question.

I did manage to cross several things off this list but would of liked to see more get done, however in the last two days of being back in the classroom Ive managed to put my head down.

I still have to put a great deal of my design into archicad which is basically just time consuming. I also have to choose majority of my materials and get my samples ordered. Im hoping to create a new to do list with a realistic allowance of time for everything.

I believe the best element of my design at the moment is the creative use of organic shape. The one thing I need to concentrate on is linking each room into one another. I have too many ideas that it might become messy and there wont be a constant flow or theme throughout my design.

Not long to go, but a lot to achieve in that time! Find a link below to my pinterest board devoted to my major work:

Admittedly when having numerous people contribute their opinions to your design, it becomes difficult to keep a sense of consistency. It is challenging to please everyone, but compromises often need to be made in order to deal with conflicting feedback.
Sometimes it becomes easier to agree with someones idea, test it in the space and if you do not believe it is successful, you have at least been polite and taken on their advice.
There will always be a new idea that you discover, whether it be a new piece of furniture for a space or a whole new way of looking at an area. You need to ask yourself - can you justify changing this and creating more work for yourself. Use your initiative in making this decision!

What a productive week :)
This week I completed my space planning and am hoping to be signed off tomorrow!
My feasibility study has been completed and just needs to be checked over, my report is underway and I just need to do a few more sections! Things are looking up on the work front :)
