About Me

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.

2nd year group project

This project was a repeat of the first year interdisciplinary project that involved Interior design and Architecture students. In second year the brief was to produce an object that expressed the sensation of the process of Occupation.







The images above are development images that my group work through to come up with our final design pictured below.







Our group decided that our object would convey the occupation process in which students travelled through the level 5 are in the Mathew building of the university. We decided to convey though movement of the student by using four different colours to mark the route that different students might traverse. The four colours where Red, Green, Blue and white. Each colour represented a different path.











We marked each path starting at a single door that the majority of students used to enter level 5. We also used a Perspex box suspended from the ceiling with the four colours threaded from the entrance/exit door, through the box twist within the box, and then out the other side towards the ground where the four colours travelled the paths using coloured tape. The Perspex box represented the university and the way in which many different types of people use the one space. The twisting of the colour threads represented the union created within the university.
