Before the lecture on Friday 27th July, I had borrowed out some books from the library earlier in the week that I was going to use as inspiration to get me back into the groove of Design thinking. These books included: Young Architects_4: Material Process, Will Alsop: The Noise, Absolutely Public: Art and Architecture and Fantasy Architecture 1500-2036. Art, science-fiction, future design, current student work and one of my favourite architects, all of these books were chosen to feed my different passions relating to Design. It was only after I had read the 810 Blackboard site on Thursday when the unit theme was outlined, that I saw just how appropriate some of my choices had been.
Fantasy Architecture 1500-2036 will be an invaluable resource for my early brainstorming for Project One and the following posts aim to convey all that I have gleaned from this book, coupled with my own extrapolations and wild fantasies. The other three books will be touched on in later posts, where I will show the ideas that were of greatest interest to me.
