Day 4 : Of coins and dead tree trunk, I find it very interesting as it depicts the sense of hidden gems, just like the hidden knowledge in the bookshelves.

Day 5: Producing a test model of Elizabeth Gaskell's morning room. We aim to create an abstract box which shows motives, patterns and crafts typical for this part of the house while at the same time working with light and shadows.
Posted 9 May 2014 11:03
We made a test maquette to test our ideas. We plan to have layers of different patterns reflecting on white walls. The image shows different combinations that can be made.

Fascinating visit to Elizabeth Gaskell's House in Plymouth Grove, Ardwick. Intriguing use of light and stained glass within the central circulation space which helps to add vibrancy to an otherwise dark space.

Day 2: Visiting Elizabeth Gaskell's house: the morning room is on the left when you enter the vast house. The wood graining of the door, the shades, the gas lamps, the stone fireplace, the cream warm wallpaper - all remind of Gaskell's taste and the typical 19th century housing.
