My build and design of the Deakin University Arts Island almost a year ago in January of 2008. Special thanks to Deakin staff Jenny Grenfell, Fiona Phillips, Jo Raphael and Stephen Seagrave for their guidance. The general brief for this was based around a couple of escher and dali paintings alongside some basic teaching space and gallery areas. The video captures the organic growth of the design ideas – it is still growing as all good builds should do! The island has been in regular use by staff and students but closed to the general public.
