(B1) SUMMATIVE EVALUATION

-

 The brief on a whole has been very challenging. We started it in the midst of CoP3 which led to us both taking a break to focus on that module. It was not until after Christmas that I looked back at the project and I found it really hard to get back into it. Luckily, with a lot of perseverance and further research, we managed to create Talk With Me. Looking back at my Statement of Intent, this is the sort of work I want to be producing, consciously. I want to produce a design that will help the world, design for a purpose and I feel this project does that. Both Raisa and I have said that we would benefit from a kit like this and that it meets the brief we initiated. I do not think we would have met the brief if we had not have chosen to challenge ourselves into designing the kit. The posters would not have been a strong enough set of designs and would be another regurgitation of the stuff that is already out there.

Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind...

In order to understand the texts related to Gothic architecture, I really need to understand the terminology as I aforementioned when looking at the previous text. I will be listing definitions along the way to better understand. Also, if my designs will have an informational aspect, it would be better to use this terminology or synonyms at least for whatever target audience I choose.  (All within the context of Gothic Architecture) Pointed Arches  Large pointed arches typically found on the Gothic buildings, also seen in many places of worship Large Stained Glass Windows Hugely associated with churches and cathedrals but, also a key feature in Gothic buildings  Ribbed Vaulting  There are a few different types of vaulting, ribbed vaulting is the one most commonly associated with Gothic architecture. It is an integral structural element to support these large buildings.  Flying Buttresses A similar feature is flying buttresses. They also act as an extra support f...
