This week you are going to write a brief, from the point of view of the client. As we have discussed, representation can occur through drawings (both technical and emotive), physical forms such as models, film and animation as shown this morning, and as written or verbal description.
Today you will explore the latter.
Part 1:
Do some research on your selected architect / artist / designer to determine what they might look for in the design of a home for themselves. Can you find any information on family? What about their cultural roots? What can you say about their design style? Think through these and other questions and write up a section on your blog that defines how this person would define their needs and desires in a home.
If it is a company you are using as your research topic, treat them as a person... If there is no family that you can identify, then you are defining a bachelor pad....
Part 2:
Put together a brief. Remember that in this document you must define not only what you want (as the client) but why. In this circumstance your brief must be capable of being understood by your architect without you there to explain it, so it should include not only a list of explanations about room sizes, but also how they will be used, how your family interacts in the home, how you entertain, how you like to work in the kitchen and other general living spaces, etc. A document of this nature will run to at least 4 pages of material combining the lists of spaces and the explanation of those spaces. Also be sure that you explain the architectural style that you want for your home, and include images that help to explain what you are after.
This material must be completed and uploaded to your blog by the end of studio.
