Weekly Review - (3rd March - 9th March)

1- What tasks did I complete. 

2-What I didn't achieve that I was hoping to? 

3-General feeling of how the week went, was it successful or not! How could I improve next week. 

4-How will this week benefit my final outcome?

5-What I plan to do next week. 

1-During my first week of the project I started to put together my initial ideas for the Final major project. I knew straight away that I want to design a building that was unique and brought someone unusual to the area it would be placed in. I also wanted to design a building thats purpose was also uncommon, so not just a cafe or shop but something a bit more wacky such as a water park, ski slopes or an exotic animal sanctuary. 

My first task was to try and decide what my building would be used for so I did some research into this using the internet along with asking a wide range of people of all age group what they thought would be an unusual project to see. Asking members of the public what they thought was really useful and they really helped me to come up with a long list of possible project ideas whilst also going me inspiration to be more creative. 

I secondly wanted to find a location for my project as I felt that once you have a location it would be easier to tailor the project towards a focus. 

During the week I decided on a location close to where I live which has an existing facade which I have decided to incorporate in to my project in order to keep some of the history of the area. By having a location for my project I feel that it is going to help me decided on what my building will be as I can visually see the size of the land and also try and crest something that is unusual but will provide a great service for that specific area. 

I lastly put together my ideas along with an action plan and timetable to show at the first project proposal pitches which I am aiming to follow to ensure the smooth running of the while project over the 7 weeks. 

2- I believe that for my first week of the project I have achieved what I needed to in order to progress efficiently. 

3- Overall, I think the week was successful and however I think that when doing more research I possibly need to look in to using my resources such as books from the library instead of just the internet. I would also like to complete some primary research by going to museums and exhibitions to give me more inspiration.

4- I think that all the tasks I completed this week will benefit my project in the long run as I have managed to find a location for my project which will give me a focus point along with starting off my research, which I will continue to do throughout the 7 weeks. 

5- Next week I would like to complete some more primary and secondary research to help with my project. Secondly, I am going to visit my site to get pictures of the area and also work out the exact size of the plot of land.
