The Project Brief:

Here is my new project for my 3rd Year at University - The 'Boogazine'

The Project Brief is this:

In Semester 1 you will be required to produce a document called the “Boogazine”, a piece of research and critical enquiry in the form of a magazine. Significant emphasis should be given to visual material in the work.


You are required to propose an object that you wish to research and to take a particular critical position about that object. ‘Object’ in this context is something that exists, or has existed in historical time. It could be anything as long as it:


connects directly to interior design/architecture and 
you can research it in depth in order to develop and sustain a line of critical enquiry.


It should be also be something that you personally find interesting. It can be a building or interior, but it could also be for example, a film, design movement, item of furniture, architectural style , designer, book etc.. Your Boogazine should aim to find something new to say about the object.


In a nutshell, I have to choose an object which connects to interior design/architecture and create a 'Boogazine' about it. To work outside of the box I want to broaden my research and delve deeper into each subject area, rather than just go for the obvious option. As the brief says it should be something I personally find interesting, the first word that springs to mind is 'Vintage.' So what I will hopefully aim to do is start off with Vintage and work my way up into the now, where vintage is coming back and re-inventing itself. For my research into the Vintage I will start looking into as early as the 1920's to find inspiration. Although, rather than do what I know, I may differentiate between styles and research into area's I am not familiar with.
