Hargreaves Bathroom Celebrity
Ok, so i've chosen my celebrity for my client. Daniel Craig, known more for his brilliant role as James Bond (007).
Daniel Craig was born in Chester, North West of England.
On researching into Daniel Craig and James Bond I stumbled upon a James Bond suite at Aphrodites hotel in the Lake District.
Enjoy a stay in the New James Bond Suite, and make the most of the facilities at the hotel, plus the beautiful surroundings of Windermere, and all the local attractions in Bowness, including restaurants, bars, cafés and boat trips.

Future Life Site Proposal
Choosing a site for my Future Life Memory Cortex. Has to be somewhere of significance; a city, somewhere that is none for its exhibits, events and public celebrations. Somwhere near water, close to the sea. My nearest and favourite city, Liverpool.
On our research trip to Liverpool we walked to the Mersey Ferry Terminals to look at some installations. I remember the space being inviting, open and spacious as well as there being many ferry terminals that are sat out on the Mersey with bridges to access them. These would make a fantastic site for my Design as they are walking distance from the City Centre, Albert Docks and lots of museums and iconic buildings; meaning people are constantly passing by and stopping.
Here are some photos of the specific terminal I intend to use as my site;

"Boogazine" update
After further research into my topic; 'World War I and the Interiors that Followed.' and selecting a question to focus on 'How did World War I influence the beginning of Art deco?' I have now decided to focus more on Art Deco in America and narrow it down again to New York Art Deco, I will include a small part about the War in it but it will no longer be a key disscusion. Instead I will focus on Art Deco's influences as a whole and discuss why New York is a city that is full of Art Deco.
Here is my updated "Boogazine" draft proposal form;

Bath to the Future!
In assosiation with Hargreaves Bathrooms http://www.jhbathrooms.com/
A creative live project to imagine a new type of bathroom that celebrates the sensory experience for bathing for a 21st century lifestyle.
There are two approaches to the project,
1. A conceptual project allowing a feely imaginative design response,
2. A practical project aimed at the commericial market
For the conceptual project greater empahasis should be given to overall impression through visualisation. The practical project should focus on the products and practiality of the proposal and will tend towards the accurate and specific.
Both projects should utilize bathroom products supplied by Hargreaves. You have a free choice about the other products, finishes and materials that you propose.
The winning entry will be built, depending on cost and viability. The budget for the practical project is £1000, there are other guidlines to be followed supplied in a letter from Hargreaves.
Exciting! I think I may choose the conceptual project. Now I just need to find a celebrity????

The Brief
To design a bathroom for a North-West Celebrity. You can choose whoever you like as long as they have a public/media profile and whose lifestyle could be considered aspirational, lending itself to the fanatsy worl encompassed in bathroom design. Imagine what sort of bathroom they would inhabit.There are two approaches to the project,

The Memory Cortex
The Temporal Lobe is the part of the brain that holds people's memories. The Temporal Lobe along with the the Frontal Lobe is found in the Pre-Frontal Cortex.
This will be the basic shape of the 'Memory Bank' that will be in every location taking part in the event.
Simulator Rides
Simulator rides are a type of amusement park or fairground ride, where the audience is shown a movie while their seats move to correspond to the action on screen.
There are many types but they fall into the heading of entertainment unlike the ones used for training. Simulator rides work by showing a film and moving at the same time. This information if fixed and cannot be changed without the software to rewrite a new programe. A film or experience can be made of any subject as they are created manually. A film of any given subect is given to the manufacturer who records movement to go with a film, you then end up with a video source and a movement disk, this can be preloaded onto a computer or manually set up using a floppy disk so when the film and disk are placed in the system it is controlled by a computer and a controller to make the film start at the same time as the motion.
Passenger motion simulators are used as amusement rides with a seating platform remaining parallel to the ground while being moved in a circular motion along a vertical plane. Larger scale motion theaters include "Air Time" at Carowinds, "Corkscrew Hill" at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Universal's Islands of Adventure, Star Tours at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Mission: SPACE at Epcot, the new ride The Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios Florida, and the now closed Akbar's Adventure Tours in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Motion theaters found in a traveling carnival include the "Yellow Submarine."
