Okay so for my level what better than to start with some mood boards to help jog my imagination. The theme's that I've been given to choose from is the reconstruction of Kirkstall Abbey which is down the road from me, A UFO crash site or Fairytale. I have decided to choose fairytale and my first thoughts were to create a a village community of some kind so I was kinda twisting the brief a little towards the fantasy side of things.
Here are some mood boards showing the kind of things I was looking and taking influence from.
Here I was looking at cottage and house designs that I thought would work well with the theme I chose but as you can see most of these are actually models for elven villages so take a guess where that lead me.
You're absolutely right, elven villages and trees, forests and everything wonderful. I started to look at some quirky yet beautiful designs to get an idea of what's already been done and what's out there so I could create something a little more unique which is a difficult thing for something that must have been done thousands of times.
These are some doodles I did for my village idea. I really like the direction they're going in but after presenting my work so far I noticed that I was straying too far away from the brief. Although I allowed to go through with this idea I thought it be best to rethink my design and turn things around before I went any further. W
