Independent Study for Break and Week 10

• Post to your blog a list of your group members. Provide links to their blogs, on your blog.


• During the break, in your groups, continue gathering sources, and research about Jorn Utzon, and the Silkeborg Museum.


• Also in your groups, interpret any research you have gathered, using plans, sections, elevations, physical models, etc., to model the building faithfully, as you believe Jorn Utzon imagined it.


• Individually, post three images of your group model to your blog. Choose your images based on areas of the existing design that you find interesting, and either want to develop, or re-interpret in your own design.


• Write another 250 words, this time detailing your concept and direction for redesigning the Museum. Refer back to your feelings from the original 250 words that you wrote, based on your research, and the three words developed in the Week 9 Studio Task.

Extra Tasks

• Using the three words that you developed in the Week 9 Studio Task, and your 250 words of your concept, gather 10 textures that relate to your ideas, and that you would like to use as materials in your redesign.


• Prepare the materials into usable tiles for texturing your building, and post the tiles to your blog.

For the Extra Keen

• Do some concept sketches for your redesign of the Silkeborg Museum, and post them to your blog.


• You can also start moving your design into a 3D application like Sketchup, to get a feel for the spaces of your building.
