FMP- week 1 (2)

Sanzhi UFO houses

I continued from yesterday doing research into pods and pod houses. I looked into the Sanzhi UFO Houses, also called as Sanzhi pod houses and Sanzhi pod city. The pod shaped buildings resembles Futuro Houses, which yesterday I did research into. The construction began in the beginning of 1978. They have been abandoned buildings that were intended to be vacation resorts.

Furthermore, I looked at Hanse Haus’s Pod House. In the centre of the interior contains a rotating cylinder, which includes four rooms. The cylinder is remote controlled, so a press of the button can let us view the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The entrance for each room in curved for safety reasons as well as visual aspects involved in this design.

What I think I should have done differently is to do some research into galleries and exhibitions that I can go to visit, which they are also relevant to project. 

What I will be doing next is to go to the Sensing Spaces exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. Till now I have not been to many visits, so I decided to go visit the Sensing Spaces exhibition, which was suggested by my tutor. 

In my action plan and timetable, I should be exploring a range of primary and secondary research. I am currently working towards this target whilst doing internet research and planning visits.
