PDP-Personal Development Portfolio

 

The PDP comprise of everything that I have done during the second and third year, on how things had developed during the course. Such as things that I have learnt during each project, trips I have been on. 

The experiance in working in groups, things that I have found interesting or not interested and useful to my personal development. Commenting what I have done and how I can improve in the future. This has been demostrated, in my sketchbooks, where design have been re-design over again to make it a good design. The facebook group shows the team work involve in helping others. When they need help on work. This blog demostrate what I have done throughout the semester, some sections explains what I have done and achieved.

This video features a video by an architecture student from Clemson University studying in Barcelona, Spain. In the interview, she explains why she thinks it's important to study architecture abroad.

Design and Access Statement

Design and Access Statement, hand in date today.
What are design and access statements?
Statements are documents that explain the design thinking behind a planning application. For example, they should show that the person applying for permission  has thought carefully about how everyone, including disabled people, older people and very young children, will be able to use the places they want to build.
Statements should include a written description and justification of the planning application. Sometimes photos, maps and drawings may be needed to further illustrate the points made. They will be available alongside the application for anyone to see, so should avoid jargon or overly technical language. It is important that they are written specifically for the application they accompany. They need not be very long, but the amount of detail they contain should reflect how complex the application is. So, a statement for a major development is likely to be much longer than one for a single building.
In summary, statements:
• accompany a planning application, but are not part of it
• are needed with most types of application, but not householder applications (except in designated areas) or material change of use (unless it also involves operational development)
• are also required for applications for listed building consent
• need to explain and justify what is being applied for, and
• can be linked to planning decisions by conditions if developers are to be required to follow them

Above is some sample images of my Design and Access Statement.

Leek Respite Centre

Project 2, Exploring the world of Dementia, by 2080 about 1 in 45 ppl in the UK alone will suffer from dementia. We must do something about it before its too late. As it is a diesease and not part of an ageing process. We must teach the younger generation on how to tolerate with this matter and not to become a social stigma in society.

Data Visualisation

Making our work, into an understandable piece of art, that the whole population can understand with ease.
This is what I have been working on, in the past couple of semester. This will help me by developing my skills further onwards during the course.

It was interesting and fun, but the colour was minimal
