Studio meeting

We meet in Studio Class for a much needed team meeting.. A group meeting was a great time for to us to outline some very important project issues. we have decided to make changes to the design and the environment.as a team we debate and discuss the issue of our design location. the team has decided to change the location from Hyde Park to Regents Park. Still holding significant relevance to for our environment. .Its thought that Regents Park is more suitably as there specified circular, flat plane already exists in the centre of Regents park which we found quiet strange yet very appropriate, and measuring some what the same to fit the Cenotaph. by having the buildings bordering the park it will help to obtain this environment. I will have to find some much need objects to help create this park like environment.

WEEK six- Tom Denson (Psychology)

I found the lecture today inarticulacy interesting as it touched base with a few important aspects in relationship to humans and their behaviour in a group atmosphere.. Social Physiology is based on groups and how they interact. The idea that as a group people tend to conform to the majority adjusting judgment to be similar to others in order to gain approval to that of participants performing alone. It is thought that people provide useful info on how to behave. Discussion making in a team efforts will encourage large amounts of knowledge to circulate within discussion, and encourage the reliability of one’s acknowledgement allowing room for improvement or correction. It is important to remember that groups don’t do well when they do not share knowledge. Group’s polarization is the group’s attitude. Groups tend to get paralysed when they become one minded having a moderate attitude towards a given topic. Most information shared within a group is that of the acquaintance of the individual.

Micheal found these two pictures of the Cenotaph that someone had modelled in a program off the internet. It helped which helped Micheal and i work out some design problems in modelling it up in ArchiCAD.

Progress in Archi cad

The ideas can been seen yet the program seems to dis like the sphere at such a larg scale.

Wikki Pedia- Communication

The page structure is a user friendly interface with a paragraph at the beginning defining the idea of communication. The paragraph gives the viewer overall understanding of what the main topic is about. When scrolling down the page content is noted and is typed in an electric blue font. The first subject in the column in the heading “overview” under this subheading is a more in depth understanding of communication. Towards the end of the content column there is the sub heading references this is a list of where the information is gathered from and has links to the individual web sites. Following this is a list of further readings that are a source of gathered related information. There is sufficient amounts of example photos that help to support the idea of communication.

COMMUNICATION

“Each subculture needs a centre for its public life: a place where you can go to see people and to be seen” A form of communication is that a society has a meeting place to interact with each other. “Throughout history there have been places in the city where people who shared a set of values could go to get in touch with each other. These places have always been like street theatres: they invite people to watch others, to scroll and browse, and to loiter” such places encourage relations within a community.

CULTURE

“People cannot maintain their spiritual roots and their connection to the past if the physical world they live in does not also sustain these roots” a culture is made up of many people that are at one with each other and live and pass on generations of knowledge. in “society where there are many voices, and many values, people cling to those few things which they all have in common” suggesting that at times a culture is that of society that finds comfort in ideas that are familiar. Opposing to this idea “Mass society not only creates a confusing situation in which people find it hard to find themselves” as the beginning of multiple cultures in a community can increase mixed emotions. Individuals form their own self out of the values, habit and beliefs, and attitude which their society presents them with. In a metropolis the individuals is confronted by a vast tableau of different values, habits and beliefs and attitudes” which are demonstrated by a range of different people supporting the idea of culture in a society.

Progress

Iv done somewhat of my part in regards to the model now.I meet the team at uni Sunday night were i worked on editing pictures for the video capture that has been decided that we do. The images are to go in order regards to our progress over the weeks, documentation is to be taken in regards to the flaws and other errors in which we as a group have come across over the past few weeks. Its important especially to underline the drafts that have been completed in order to allow the stage in which we are up to now.
