K100 Architecture 2015 entry (UCL Bartlett)

Hi are we supposed to do a response to each topic that they have given or choose one to illustrate?

I have emailed them and they said whatever you want to do with them. You can choose all 3, you can just focus on one (journey), you can combine 2 (window/journey) etc.

Thank you so much When's your deadline?

Guys I just recieved an email for the assessment task, if any of you can show me some examples of the work u sent off that would be very helpful as Im not sure with the style of work I should submit to them. :/

I have submitted it on around 17/11, my deadline was 20/11. I have combined (Window/ Journey) Together

In order to keep stuff unique and authentic, I prefer to give you advise only. UCL likes applicants to be as creative as possible. Do a range of work using different styles, still life drawings, (If you want to organise them as a story...Consider why do you want to put the order that way) Impact? Don't go over the time limit because they like to see the effect from a time constrained situation, what you can do to put the impression of what you see down to a paper.

Ah okay good luck!! I hope you get it My deadline's the 22nd of December :/ quite nervous... did you do all your drawing from life? Because I wanted to do a personal journey as something that I learnt when volunteering but I cant do that if it needs to be from life

If it is something happened in the past that you cannot go back anymore, I would say don't....because this will limit the potential of your development. Try to think what is memorable about the experience, does going back to the place (walking along) would remind you some special memory when you stay there? How about walking the same path again and draw from what you see there when you are alone in contrast to what happened there in the past (e.g. groups of people having a campfire) Using different tones and colours/media to express that? How about drawing on a piece and photocopy it and work on the same piece again?

Thank you for these suggestions... I can tell you are very creative!!! I really do hope you get in! I am the only one in my school doing architecture so I have no-one to talk to so thanks so much for all your help.. you are a life saver!!!

I am the only one from my school as well too.... Still waiting for their reply....Where have you applied to as well? I have applied to UCL, Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham and Manchester. I got Sheffield's offer AAA at the moment, still waiting for the Newcastle and Nottingham, if I have one more offer I am not doing my Manchester Portfolio lol!!

its weird to think how competitive the course is and yet we are the only ones at school :P
Well done for you offer!! That's amazing!!
Yeah I applied to UCL, Sheffield, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Cardiff - got a deadline of 5th jan for the portfolios for sheffield and newcastle so got a busy xmas I applied ages ago but my school took sooo long to send it to UCAS.... otherwise I probably would have had it over with by now.

I hope you get the other offers.. I'm sure you will

Hi thal05, I've also have portfolio requests for Newcastle and Sheffield. For Newcastle the brief was "6-8 separate images", have you combined 2 images into 1 image in any case (i.e. 2 examples of life drawing placed beside each other on the digital portfolio - and counting that as one image).... Hopefully you can help.
cheers, Tom

Yes I had... Coz I took a photo from a series of 3 of my best life drawings and post it as one image as I think that one image represents one 'movement' of my work.

Ok fair enough, which uni's did you apply to and with which grades?
