Lauren Bowker Talk

Most inspirational talk yet, really enjoyed listening to her life experiences her down to earth tone was great. It just showed us that someone like us(so young) could do well. She explained how she thought it was just down to the networking and meeting people who were going to help her get where she wanted to be.
I found her work very interesting, how shed collaborated with science to make her work change colour like the phnx. (www.phnx.co) 

Paper Marquette's

3D paper Marquette's inspired from my Arrivals task.

Arrivals Task - Exploring

EXPLORING - Eden Project

I had seen what the Eden project looked like, but nothing prepared me for the strange looking domes,inside was so real, so amazing. It simple took my breath away… quite literally in the rainforest, it was so hot. The Eden project was somewhere I'de always wanted to go mainly because nature, plants and the environment interests me. It was just so amazing. There were just so many things explore.

The exotic flowers and textures, the wall of sunflowers, the vegetable garden, the giant bee and the dancing women attached to a balloon in the rainforest, a little like a fantasy land.

'Infra_MANC provides us with a chance to look at the processes involved in the procurement, marketing and delivery of key infrastructural projects of the post-war era.  The Mancunian Way, the never realised Picc-Vic tunnel, the Guardian Exchange and fanciful dreams of a city centre heliport will all be presented using artefacts found and recovered from the various archives and museums of the region.'
