On returning to the new semester, a contextual studies
brief was set requiring an investigation into the study of Utopia and Dystopia.
It has been suggested that an essay title should be chosen with reference to
individual studio specialism, therefore adding a depth and context to all
practical work in addition to a deeper understanding of contextual topics.
Also, this will aid for a smoother transition into the writing of final
dissertations as these too will be linked to individual studio specialism.
There will be a series of lectures outlining possible topics of enquiry, to
assist in choosing an essay title/question.
With presentation of the contextual studies brief, a
mind-map has been constructed to begin thinking about the development of
practical study. Through this it had become apparent that there is still a
large concern for 'beauty' and aesthetics of the everyday and mundane present
in practical development, and therefore will have a strong connection to the
'Utopian Ideal' and the concept of an 'ideal beauty' and indeed consequently
how this can lead to a dystopian outcome.
