WEEK 15, 19/02/18

This week was intended for tutorials to discuss progression of our work and give necessary feedback. However, as I was unable to make it, I did not do as was intended.

Instead, I finally decided against using Grove House within my research question, as the was more than enough discussion without it. This settled with my research question becoming: ‘To what extent has the role of Roehampton’s Parkstead House changed from being under the influence of Georgian London compared to modern London?’ From this, I was able to explore elements of social status and archetectural function in more depth. This resolved the issues of focused and limited discussion within the essay, allowing less less general of Georgian and Modern London and its estates. As a result, I exchanged the project idea of the Grove House exterior and interior handbook to one of a Parkstead one. With confidence I would stick to Parkstead House, I began compling image resources for the project from the Sir John Soane Musuem and British Musuem, as well as modern images of the site. I gathered more written resources of Georgian Estates architecture to use as factual references within the project, and began steching out the layout.
