The Context of our Project

The Context of our Project

"these are my initial notes on ideas that we can base our ideas off, these were rough note taken in class which i have used as a basis along with the context brief that Dem wrote up for us."

context brief from Dem:

*This is the story produced through the brainstorming session in class. Students decided on the following as a context for a future museum at Ruskin Hall. 

(a) We have concluded that our building in the distant future exists as a museum.

(b) Its name (pending) is: The Ruskin Experience, the fall of the Niksurites

(c) It is said that in it’s time Ruskin Hall had a lot more going on than just your average art school. In 2013, a scandal took over the news for months as police and journalists unraveled evidence that students from the art and design course were running a secret sect called Niksurites (derives from ‘Ruskin’ in reverse).

Inside, investigators found secret spaces, objects, visual material and accounts of the events that took place…

A museum has now been created in the year 3089 where visitors can experience what it was like being part of the sect 1,076 years ago. Time has blurred truth from fiction and many stories have been told since…what is true and what isn’t still remains a mystery. 

Based on the research (trips, presentations, films and discussions) you are now ready to start developing ideas within this context. For the next session, I would like to see evidence of ideas from you. This can be in any way you prefer for example, you may choose to show a body of research or a series of sketches or mock ups. Though these are not your final ideas, I expect to see good evidence of how you have drawn from all the input so far.
