Charette in Lille what a week!! Greenwich students make it into the newspaper.

My second attempt at a section and still have another one to do, made a start today and should finish get it scanned in at printers tomorrow and rendered.

None of these would have been possible without tuition from 'Grassy Green' Thank you

Hopefully blogging will now continue as a confidence builds.

Back to blogging. Been underground the last month, or I should say above ground stuck in my attic, trying to find my way out...... this is my first attempt at drawing a section of a garden, not sure why I have never done one before.

The colour is too bold and it is an elevated section, so I obviously still haven't quite got my head around what I should be doing!

Ultra-bright video is projected on to the walls of a 13th Centrury Gorey Castle.  3D projection mapping was used to made polychrome blocks appear to slide out of the fortifications and the structure twist and collapse against the night sky.

Amazing, just click on the link and watch the video.

Map of Greenwich Park in 1872

Haven't had time for Blog this week.  Have been learning a lot about the Surrey planning regulations.  Here is a map of Greenwich Park in 1872 that I have been reserarching for Historic Garden Conservation.

You are invited to an exhibition on Thursday 17th December 2009 5-6pm

EXHIBITION ALSO OPEN ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY 21ST & TUESDAY 22ND DEC 09
 
At:
Room QM105 Queen Mary Building

Greenwich Park; its history, conservation and management

The exhibition charts the Park's development from medieval deer park to a grand landscape garden in the French classical tradition under Charles II, and its subsequent evolution, over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, into one of London's great public parks.

It underlines the historic and cultural importance of this continuously evolving multilayered landscape, concluding with an assessment of its current condition and the selection of the Park as the venue for Olympic events in 2012.  The Olympics present an opportunity to showcase Greenwich Park to the world, while ensuring that its historic and natural fabric are protected.  The spotlight on the Park also presents an opportunity to consider ideas for improving the Park for future generations of users, while conserving its unique character and sense of place.

This exhibition has beeen researched and produced by final year Ba Garden Design students at Greenwich University, studying Historic Garden Conservation as part of their degree course.

Sketches of Farindons

The front view of Farindons has been rendered and painted white and has blue windows and shutters.  The side entrance you can still see the brick work under the white paint and it also has blue window frames but no shutters. There is a clock above the door.
