THE PROJECT
Practice-led Research / Research-led Practice
In 2015, as part of my BA (Hons) Degree, a research-led practice project was required. My field of research involved the gendering and Disneyfication of blood in children's animated movies. The project required us to use our line of research to create a practical element. This involved writing the brief, deciding on deliverables and executing the designs.
THE BRIEF
A home away from home.
Design and develop a once off, unique hotel in a world that does not exist. The “hotel “can be anything from a small inn, a bed-and-breakfast to an upmarket boutique hotel. Capture the feeling of a “home away from home”.
