Final Week/ Hand In Week!




The R Narrative: 5 and 7 Garrett Street date back to 1906 and are the oldest and only timber structures remaining on Garrett Street. The houses at 5 & 7 Garrett Street serve as a symbolic reminder of what was there before. Their heritage value lies in the fact that these are the only surviving houses on a street that was formerly full of the working class houses. 5& 7 Garrett Street are a testament to another time.

This week we looked at how lights would work during night time, and how we could incorporate letters in the space.

We also thought about the different structures of the building and how this may help form our letters. From these we had an idea of making each letter a different font from one another. This gave it more of an excitement and value.  Class Feedback . From the feedback we go in class was basically to test how the letters would fit in the space and testing letters. We then thought of a narrative for each letter so it is not just the letter on its own but instead telling a story.
