Reinholdt, E., 2019. Architecture Model Making Tutorial Part 1. [online] YouTube. Available at: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfj2-A5rJoQ&t=402s> [Accessed 2 April 2020].
The reason why I picked this as part of my research is because I found the video more straightforward and more understandable than reading. Reinhold seemed like a great expert of how to make architecture model with some special tips on how to give a quality look.
On the YouTube site I came across this video, it taught me about the basic steps of creating architectural models. Architectural models are like sketching in 3D. it does not have to be exactly right, is used as an inspiration for the buildings you want to build. The reason why architectural modelling is very important is because the clients love a model because they can pick them up, rotate them and take them apart to see into every angle. It is the perfect way to get the idea of the building in real life, better than than computer modelling because with the computer forces you to make decisions too early. So, you can feel free to create any model and you can move the pieces around to come up with ideas and how you want to display them. Eric Reinholdt the modeller explained when he was at architectural school, he looked forward to learning to make models, and he expected them to teach him how to make the models. They did not, so this made him feel disappointed. He went to the library to search for books on how to make architectural models and he found books that were full of different architecture and their different styles and ways of making architecture such as Neil Denari or Wes Jones (with his detailed mechanical machine architecture).

Green Washing
The greenwashing was suggested by my tutor and when I read some articles I was fascinated. I had never heard the word greenwashing, so I read two different articles, where one of them is the history of it and the other one is how to spot “greenwashing”.
on our times of using too many resources green-washing is where the organisations which contributes to that overuse of things, makes a claim that they are doing a job that is helping to save the earth. However, the UnSchool organisation believe that earth can’t be saved, but can be changed. When companies are doing green-washing, they are funding more time and money on marketing and claiming that their product or brand are sustainable. this meas that are harmless or safety to nature in word only instead of doing doing the hard work to make sure what they are doing is sustainable.
The description of greenwashing is about getting other people to believe that the company are doing the right thing by helping and protecting environment rather than what they are really doing it.
As an analogy, greenwashing is like a tree hugger says who said they care about environment, but it is a symbolic gesture, it doesn’t actually help the tree a corporation saying they care about the environment requires more than words.

She is a sculptor, who goes beyond the physical form of artwork she creates. Her art pieces and the way she displays them, explores the nature of her material, which it is often forced to clash with the means of production that’s involved in gathering natural and organic resources. In the spirit of simple sculpture. Her media shapes the artwork form and content and shows an abstract investment, of things that grow or are mined from the landscape. Her project is related to the art historical category of landscape without being aimed at the depth of the physical appearance in an old-style way.

She is well known for her welding steel sculpture references to the human body. She learned metalwork skill and techniques from a local blacksmith in Sussex after she graduated from Oxford.
She makes sculpture that have a lot of difference materials but are stripped back in design. They show surreal or over the top stones that me to show how, other people feel. In her opinion she believes we can feel like murdering people; we can be emotional; scared of other people; having lots of social contact; very happy; unpredictable or wanting to live by ourselves. She works with love and hate, and good and bad. She tries to make the emotions we hide revealed. She is saying we are all the same.

She was born in Ukraine, now she lives and works in the Netherlands.
She went to the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Ukraine, where she got the B.Sc and the M.S in architecture and she went to the Design Academy Eindhoven in Netherlands and gained an MA in social design.
Her works merging a different range of subjects including drawing, fashion & sculpture, design installation, scenography and performance. in a time, where technologies are dominant, she tried to highlight the importance of “conscious embodied spatial acts for the future living”.
To help me understand this last phrase I found out that “Embodiment is being in a body and being a body.” (1)
“Efforts to reveal though neuroscientific lens (brain science) the relations between the mind, body and built environment” is a new science. The use of VR to explore the relationship between architecture and its inhabitants.” (2)
I found in these two articles (1) and (2) they talk about theory of how our body and mind work and how architecture impacts on our mind, body and behaviour by changing our human experience and we have a sense of taste with architecture and environment with design, where we either love it or hate it.
