Edited Photos of Collectomaniacs Hotel by Dave King ShedKM
Dave King, Director of ShedKM has kindly edited a couple of images of the Collectomaniacs Hotel model. He argued that the shape allowed for a bold Graphic Design.
shedkm is a young and innovative RIBA registered architectural practice working from Liverpool and London.
They have built nationally recognised, award winning buildings across all sectors. From highly bespoke private houses to complex, multi-million pound regeneration projects, we produce critically acclaimed, high-quality architecture often from limited budgets and with difficult constraints.
ShedKM are adept at the re-use of old buildings, having turned dilapidated Victorian terraces into sleek, spacious homes and redundant factories into iconic work-space and retail destinations. We are also pioneers of innovative construction techniques such as pre-fabrication.
Every project is underpinned by a clarity of thought and consistency of approach. Their work embodies simple yet bold ideas that give our buildings a unique and strong identity.

Olympic Jump
Greenwich Olympic Jump: Press Release
Iconic landmarks from across Greenwich erupt & dissolve back into the serpentine curves of the Thames as it cuts its path across the Olympic Equestrian Games site.
Students from the BA (Hons) IDEAs (Interior Design Environment Architecture) course at Ravensbourne have been commissioned by Greenwich Council & LOCOG to collaborate with local school children to create a sculptural backdrop for the Equestrian Games in Greenwich Park. A competition was organised with school children from across the borough being invited to submit proposals to identify & interpret their most important Greenwich landmarks. The winning teams were then invited to work with students at Ravensbourne to translate their initial concept models & drawings into digital prototypes.
The site for the installation spans across a tree lined grass slope with views across the city to Canary Warf & the Thames. The final design comprises familiar landmarks such as the Cutty Sark, Royal Observatory & the O2 fused together by the Thames, which dissects the whole composition. The sculpture measures 16 × 11m with the masts to the Cutty Sark rising to a height of 4.5m above the terrain. The primary structure is fabricated from approximately 200 sheets of 12mm ply slotted together to form a 400 × 800mm lattice. Key elements of the structure will be clad with ply ‘skins’ to enhance the legibility of key landmarks for an international audience, whilst retaining the more abstract qualities of the structure.

Ravensbourne2012: Degree Show
On the 13th & 14th June, Ravensbourne2012 will be opening its doors to industry and the public, to showcase London’s brightest new graduates. The two day festival, organised and designed by the student body, is a chance to see a collaborative showcase of graduate work, alongside other outstanding live events and installations. A graduate show like no other.
The concept of Ravensbourne2012 is light. Light will form part of a narrative to guide viewer’s around the Award-winning building in the Greenwich Peninsula. The story will begin as soon as you step out of the station at North Greenwich.
The curation of the show, encompassing the concept of light, shall include a multitude of multi-disciplinary responsive installation pieces, the Graduate Design Exhibition, three Fashion Shows, Fashion Gala, Live Broadcast Shows and pre-recorded material, workshops and keynotes by students. It will be a major opportunity to headhunt highly skilled new talent and meet a wide range of industry delegates.
The Ravensbourne2012 personality integrates the theme of light as the guiding principle of the show; utilising Bokeh inspired photography to portray a sense of focus and unfocus. The unfocus is the portrayal of a graduate showcase; Ravensbourne2012 instead endeavours to make apparent of our beacon of innovative professionals, putting the focus upon each adept individual regardless of discipline. We have therefore utilised a versatile personality with emphasis upon collaboration and creativity.
