DSDN 171 - Blog 2

I have chosen to research Neoclassical Architecture for my blog two. 

1 - Single author 
Stillman.D.(1988). English Neoclassical Architecture.(vol 2), England, A.Zwenmer LTD.
This book offered information on the English Neoclassical Architecture and was very useful with the images and how they explain why they are important. They explained various different building types and showed the style of each building. This is going to be very useful in my studies because of the type of information that is in this book, such as the Neoclassical forms and buildings. I would say this book is well worth reading when I have the time.   

2- Scholarly Journal
Papadakis.A.C, Balsey. J, & Porphyrios. D.(1987), London, Copenhagen & Athens, Neoclassical Architecture , Volume 57(3/4)
This Journal was very good and contained information about different Neoclassical buildings and the different techniques they used. It also has a lot of examples throughout the journal, which is very helpful because then it explains it through the image. I thought that this journal was useful because of the amount of useful information in it that could come in handy when I need it.

3- Edited book
Middleton. R, Watkin. D, Alison. E. C. (ed). (1980). Neoclassical and 19th century Architecture. Harry N. Abrams, Inc.
This book has European architecture of the 19th century. Also this book contains the history of architectural movements, comprising Neo-Classicism, Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Gothic architecture. This book is very useful to me because it has a lot of useful information in it and could be well worth reading. 

4- Website
Characteristics of Neoclassical Architecture/Neoclassic.(June 21st, 2009). www.neoclassic.com/characteristics-of-neoclassical-architecture.html.
This website contains information about neoclassical buildings and the neoclassical movement itself. Also it contains a lot of information on the characteristics of neoclassicism  This website is very helpful to me because its all about the neoclassical times and also has other links in the website to get more information.

5-Image
The Parthenon, Athens, 5th Century BC.
The Parthenon is a Greek temple which is basically the baseline for neoclassical architecture. This image is a lot of help to my work because it has a lot of history behind it and also the unique style to the Parthenon, made it stand out for many years. Other architects copied its form and created there own temples,(eg- Pantheon, Rome;126AD(second century). The Parthenon is a guide for neoclassical buildings. 

DSDN 101 - Project One - Hand in - Individual Work

 

I choose Lazslo Moholy Nagy as my artist for my individual work because I like his style of overlapping objects. Introducing this technique to my work made a big difference because of the overlapping and the solid black rectangles in the background, makes the objects stand out and is a good focal point.I also like the positive and negative space in his work and I used that in my work.

Blog 1- Design Personae

 Hey ya!

My name is Kyle Berkland. I live locally, in Lower Hutt with my parents at the moment, so this is very convenient for me because it’s close to Victoria University. I’ve been involved in football and futsal for nearly my whole life and I’m very passionate about both of these sports. I’m also looking forward to joining Victoria futsal and outdoor teams once my injury has been fully recovered. I’m very passionate about design ever since I started High School. I found that design was a lot of fun and creative, which kept me interested and wanting to keep on designing throughout the years. I wanted to go to design school to enhance my knowledge about the subject itself and learn new aspects of it, that’s why I’m taking Media Design.

I’ve been very interested in gaming and want to learn more about  how the games are created. My ambition is to become a game developer or even a website designer, but it could always change later in life because now after a week of university, I’m also interested in Industrial Design. I’m really excited about learning coding and I already have found a website that’s very inspirational and helpful to me. (Openprocessing.org) I’m hoping I can be that good and my goal is to create a simple game out of code by the end of the course. Some artists that I’m inspired by are David Carson, for his typography and Barbra Kruger for her layouts throughout her work. My ultimate goal is to pass coding with a high grade and to pass Media Design. I’m aspiring to reach my master degree in Media Design.

I’m intrigued by design because of the fact that design is always changing and developing into new ideas. I can’t wait to change it even more!
