Design to me ...

Design covers all aspects of life. It is problem solving and creating; it is something that has an effect on everything. Spatial design influences people’s feelings, moods and much more. It connects to everything in some small way. Connections are what create concepts. They provide links to design something new and unique. They provide influences and this in turn develops into inspiration for better things.

Simulate Stimulate




The brief for this project was to find an unused or derelict space that could be turned into something useful. The space was to be situated in or around Dundee. The area that I chose was just south of Roseangle in Dundee. The design presented is a structure that displays advertisements. The main influence for arriving at the final design was the users of the space, mainly train customers and walkers. The design consisted of large panels that are separated so that the advertisement can only be read clearly when looking directly straight ahead. The main reason behind the panels was the interesting shadows that were created by the sunlight. The structure is made from stainless steel and sits in a shallow pool of water. The surrounding area will be light coloured small stones. Not only does the structure provide somewhere for animated advertisements to be used but also the structure acts as a piece of sculpture. I believe that my design stimulates the space.
