REFLECTION ON THE TERMS WORK



                                                     Indoor Recreational Centre- SketchUp

                                                                

This term, my major project was to design an indoor recreational center and in doing so, I have acquired a range of skills as well as learned how to use a variety of software.


At the beginning of the term, I had no knowledge about the use of Blogger for the documentation of information. But through the various class sessions and personal time I spent building this blog I now know how to navigate and use this platform and navigate my way around.

The learning process was stressful and tough but I have been able to accomplish many things. I got to learn how to use software such as SketchUp to build the model of my project, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop to modify my pictures to a high standard and to create my design boards. I also used Pixlr to edit photos for my projects as well. I am familiar with the use of Canva as I am a proficient user of the app but I also also improved my skills regarding the software. This term I also learned about using the Winx Website. Through class sessions and personal practice, I can now maneuver my way through

I also learned about the planning process of projects. With a project, SMART Objectives must be set in place to ensure an individual achieves an objective.  With the use of design boards as well as mood boards, I ensured that the plans for my project were documented either with pictures or texts 



I am anticipating the commencement of the next term which will enable me to widen my scope of knowledge about Architecture

                                                                INTRODUCTION         Hi, welcome to Mani's Cosmos. My name is Manuela Boaduwa Xose Mantey .I am an Art and Design student at De Montfort International College and I will further my studies with a bachelor's degree in Architecture.  I have a keen interest in art and the design about buildings, artworks portraits amongst others. This blog will be based on topics related to the architecture field as well as how I will maneuver my way around the use of a variety of digital software                                                              Any Architect can draw and design a building and with the help of Engineers, these buildings can become a reality. However, to produce sophisticated structures, not every Architect is capable of this.   However, there are a few Architects who have made a mark in the Architecture world by producing abstract and astonishing building designs. Some of these Architects are Frank Lloyd W

                                 JEAN NOUVEL- MONAD TERRACE This post is mainly an expansion of my previous post regarding my idea generation. The Social Housing sector demands precision and the ability to experiment with varying ideas. Hence, this task I would say was coincidentally given to me to challenge me and pull me out of my comfort zone.  For this blog, I will conduct research into Jean Nouvel who was and still is one of the most influential and creative Architects France birthed.  JEAN NOUVEL  Jean Nouvel was born in the year 1945 in Fumel, France. After he enrolled at the Ecol des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, he obtained the first position in the entrance exam due to his high intellect and intelligence in the year 1966. He then went on to further his undergraduate studies and obtained his degree in the year 1971.  He began his professional career in 1970 after he became an assistant to Claude Parent and was inspired by urban planner and essayist Paul Virilio. He then became one o
