About Me

My photo
Dundee, United Kingdom
My name is Jodie McCrystal and I am currently at Dundee University studying Interior and Environmental design. This course is a mixture of interior design, architecture, lighting, furniture and conceptual design. So far throughout this course I have thoroughly enjoyed the furniture and lighting projects and would be interested in taking the knowledge I have gained during these projects further. I am currently in my final year and working towards my degree. I am working on lighting for my mini/major thesis project.

3rd year- Stimulate simulate

During this project we were to pick three unused dilapidated sites within Dundee and produce images of them using different media. We were then to take one of our three sites and redevelop the site giving it a new use.
The site I chose was Eadies road Dundee. The site includes two gable ends which I chose to use predominantly within my design

I decided to utilise the gable ends that are on the site to create a alfressco movie pod which would project a movie onto the gable end opposite
