Thinking of doing the Emirates stadium, made from timber with perspex glass around the outside
Placing the timber onto a green towel which will resemble the pitch,
obviously there will be more detail, does anyone think it would be possible?
Still no ideas for the seating?0 -

In my opinion, this would be wayyyyy to hard and you'd have to be so careful with every detail to make it look good... think more simpley....0 -
I think its a really good idea. You will get great marks for originality and your teacher will probably be really interested in it aswell. It would make for a great portfolio. Remember just to keep things as simple as possible though.Thinking of doing the Emirates stadium, made from timber with perspex glass around the outside

don't make furniture - it'll have to be fecking class to get a good mark - try doing a project on renewable power, water systems, roofing, stairs or something like that...
that way you can fill a big huge brief up and make a small model to show something...
I got a B1 last year and I made a wind turbine out of a bottle of coke... took about 2-3 classes to put the yoke together and a good bit of copy and paste from the internet filled my brief out - would have been finished before the mocks but I was just a lazy fecker and sat around chatting in class rather than working but I was still the first in the class finished pretty much and it gave me loads of time to start practicing making joints and all that for the day practical and that really stood to me
I really hadn't a clue what was going on in the subject half the time but I think because I kept it pure simple and got a load of practice at making joints it helped me get the B1
I'd seriously recommend you thinking about something like that rather than the furnitureThinking of doing the Emirates stadium, made from timber with perspex glass around the outside

dear god don't do this - you will never get it done and you will fail if you even try to do this
don't do it - it isn't going to be worth it - just do something simple like a wall or a roof or something
what are you going to put in the brief for that like in fairness - you'd have to look at different ways to build the stadium then and unless your an engineer's son your gonna get it hard to find out what the advantage or disadvantage of building in steel rather than concrete say or whatever...
and because it's a whole stadium you'd have to look at EVERRYTHING...
just do something simple - seriously
that's something to do in your spare time with no brief needed - not something to do for your leaving cert project
do something else
saying that I can see how it'd get you an A if you do it well but unless you do it well your gonna have problems and seeing how most people acted in my class unless your a VERY diligent student and start working at it now and figure it all out early on and work at it through out the year your going to have problems making this particular project look good...
just think about it and know how your going to do it all before starting and maybe wasting 2-3 months making the base and then getting really badly stuck
maybe do a simpler stadium but remember your brief is going to have to explain why you picked X material for Y job and why not Z etc etc etc etc.... there's gonna be a lot of work in it but it really would look pretty damn good if you get it done
maybe do a simpler stadium that has no roof and is generally squarer like the Arthur Ashe stadium here... no rounded walls or roof needed so no tedious work needed to get the walls done
and it's still completely different -that'd be my suggestion
best of luck with whatever you do anyways0 -

Is anybody here doing anything about renewable energy, im doing construction but keeping my project a sworn secret, a friend in my class is doing solar panals and wondering how many of you are doing something along those lines?? p.s anybody who attempts a stadium, i wish you look, both in your project, write up and sanity
