The title for this project was 'Beyond The Fundamental' in which i was given the task to recreate room 901 902 into a student bar. In general the London student bar scene is something of an unattractive character with fears of watered down, over- priced drinks filled with hostility. Therefore, I aim to overcome this problem by helping young Ravensbourne students in this increasingly expensive city by creating a tranquil bar for them to unwind, socialize and gather whilst ordering high quality snacks and food at a low cost. There would be larger tables for students to  communicate and do group work as well as areas where they can have privacy. I aim to create my final model on Google Sketch-Up (a 3D modelling software) which will aid my project and enable me to navigate within my space. I will also create floor plans ,with correct measurements of the room including the walls,windows and doors(ratio 1:20).


Colin Seah
Singapore Architect Colin Seah created a bar aimed at young, design-conscious travelers. The carefully thought interior has been heavily influenced by the history of the area. I was captured by the wallpaper which is made up of sketches, text, culture, graphic images and the architecture of the neighborhood.

Salon Sociedad
Salon Sociedad bar has black and white tiles, wooden furniture and brick curves creating a dark yet warm ambiance. The material palette evokes haunting charm with a twist. Whereas, the large glazed windows bring inn natural light into this dimly lit space.


Sanja Premrn
Sanja created a 'light and bright' bar, by combining plywood and patterned tiling. A sense of angular geometries is present throughout the cafe bar. The cold space has been warmed up with pastel colored wood.

The battle of Algiers review

Image
The provoking and confronting movie from the 1950s brings forward significant debates and world issues. The movie itself follows the people of Algiers fighting for freedom and independence from the French government. As expected freedom is not an option without putting up a fight. Terrorism and torture are key elements throughout the film creating an emotional effect. The people of algiers are made to seem like the 'others' within the community, that are willing to push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. Watching this movie made me question the efficacy of torture as a means for combating terrorism but also made me realise that 'resistance' is a movement that has occurred for years in different countries by a variety of means.

GRAPHICS :Reflective research/ Artist research/ Insperation

Guillaume Apollinaire He used poetry as a way of escapism during the war. His poems were effective due to his typeface and spacial arrangement which worked to create an image. In this sense the visuals could be considered to be just as important as the text. His style was something I intended to incorporate in my own work; a typeface to add meaning to a composition. Reza Abedini   A recognisable Iranian graphic designer, who combines simple illustrations with poetic typography which has heavily been influenced by his Islamic heritage Persian language. I was captured due to his beliefs being voiced through his artwork.
