Besset, M. (1967). New French Architecture. New York, United States of America: Frederick A.Praeger.

One of New French Architecture’s main focus points is that in France, several factors have been aggravating the issue of liberal architecture finding its place in the industrial world. It is considered that the up and coming architects in France are ill-equipped due to inadequate training.

Bony, J. (1949). French Influences on the Origins of English Gothic Architecture. Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, 12, 1-15.

The first appearance of Gothic architecture in England is a classic example of the prcess of influence. The French origin of Gothic as a new architectural style is undisputed; the spreading of French characteristics during the second half of the twelfth century can be followed very closely in many buildings in many parts of England. This journal takes a closer look at the specific features behind this theory.

Theatricality in Early Modern Art and Architecture gives an investigation of trades between art, architecture and theatre in France. The authors produce new instances of the interaction between the arts, providing a theoretical and historiographical context for these interactions.

De Stijl

De Stijl

My Individual Piece incorporates the style of De Stijl. It was not till after I had committed to the idea of a Rubik’s Cube that learned about Stijl and as soon as I discovered him, it became obvious that this would be the style I use.

Half the colours on a standard Rubik’s Cube are blue, red, and yellow… coincidently the same three colours that Stijl uses in his work. Throughout my project I show three sides of a Rubik’s cube so it only made sense to produce a simplified colour version expressing similar characteristics. E.g. Basic colours, simple, squares.

Ryan Thomas Smith is the name my parents, Murray and Jane, chose for me, and so far it’s working out alright. I am a 22yr old from the small town of Clive in Hawke’s Bay, just a 4 hour hop, skip and jump away from Wellington City. A lot of my time gets lost to some hobbies such as, triathlons, rugby, wakeboarding, country music, guitar, and of course, design.

Whilst attending Napier Boys High School I was fortunate enough to get involved in some work experience at a printing company called Spectrum Print and half way through my 7th form year I was offered the position of Head Graphic Artist on a full time basis. Convinced at the time that this was my calling, I accepted the offer and commenced my Design & Digital Print Apprenticeship.

Upon completion, I felt that perhaps there was more out there for me so I jumped ship to Wellington and enrolled at Victoria University to further my qualifications with new hopes of getting a degree to accompany my apprenticeship and getting into a Publishing or Editing profession.

Inspiration for me is the desire to have a career in a field that I enjoy, and that field is design. The idea of waking up each morning and dreading going to work is what inspires me to pursue this goal so that I can wake each day and look forward to what's ahead. A specific example of what inspires me is a website called ‘Puppies and Flowers’ which is full of photography and design that gets the creative juices flowing.

I thought was good because not only is it a cool image but it was one of many that come along with downloading rihanna's album online. nice surprising ad-on to get.
