This task involved me to look at everyday tasks such as:
hair brushing, cooking, gardening, ironing and so on within the house, in order
to create my own everyday Olympics game. I looked at activities which contained
the uses of objects and spaces within the house. Researching into the London
Olympics area (Stratford) I visited the area looking into stores in Westfield shopping center (Stratford), at which have links to household activities; interior spaces and the designs food courts. Then I went around Stratford
looking at the different architectures and the location around the Olympics
area. I found the on-sight visit a really beneficial experience, for me to look around the area which hosted the London Olympics games; with its buildings and the location as a whole.
My primary research made me think of all the different architectures around the Olympics area and wonder why they have designed in that specific way. For my everyday activity that could be turned into an Olympic activity I chose gardening. The feedback that I received from my tutor was to look at the different activities that evolve around the garden like planting, mowing and topiary; this then helped me think of how interior and exterior space could look like and also how the activities could take place; as well as the designing too. I have learnt that visiting the site of which my activity is going to take place really beneficial, which has helped me to analyse the area and to be able to image and place my design in my set location.
I believe that my gardening activity layout was successful along with the whole structure of my maquette with its detail to natural sunlight including the exterior space plan with its relaxing seating area, led lighting and hedge maze. Overall my activity looks clear with its interior and exterior design. The part I found challenging was trying to glue together the cardboard together this was because it was a thin piece of cardboard.
