Yesterday went really well for me. I swallowed my nerves and presented my work clearly and the judges were actually really positive about lots of things.
As time goes by, I am starting to understand what they mean by the things they drum into us. I think you can get caught in the process and lose the ability to understand what's happening around you, to think objectively for yourself. You act robotically in response to a series of instructions without questioning what you're doing and how you're doing it.
Yesterday showed the process in its entirety and this allows you to analyse why you've made choices and how you got to where you are. Explaining it to outsiders allows you to analyse where you could have done better. Plus seeing the whole lot together reinforces the fact that its about the design and I almost understand now why we are strictly banned from asking about rendering (although I still think its held in greater esteem by the judges than they would like to let on).
My work has gaps but overall the development showed and the sheets looked cohesive on the wall. I wish with hindsight I had been bolder with my ideas and just gone for it, underconfidence early on has made my design a little predictable I think. Plus, my poor knowledge and lack of enthusiasm for the constuction of the granite wall has made what should be the strongest part of my concept a little weak because it is still quite undefined. This has to be an aim for me for the next couple of weeks. Either to get good precedents and/or to build a good model which explores these walls.
