The Beginning of the End?

This is it folks. THE final semester of architecture studies. and already reaching the end of the 4th week!
Time flies. and it hit me that i should prolly at least post some photos of what im doing. silly stuff and whatnots. cos later on, what's there to look back on?

The project :


The Site :
Project Development Duration : 15 Weeks (wish me luck!)


It's been so long since i did any sort of serious model making. So in an attempt to hide the ugly mess of a site model i laser-ed...i stuffed it under my table and took a very unsightly photo of it. u can blame the low light thing. or even say it's the model's fault :P


We had an unassessed presentation in week 2 itself. and since i didn't produce any drawings (yep. i pretty much did most of the drawings in rhino. which led to the tutors asking,"do you draw?" and even giving suggestions of "playing around with quick rough physical models").
So just to prove a point, i did a whole bunch of sketching (for ideas) and came up with this one massing which represents the strengths of the 3 schemes presented.

It might just be my mental state at the time. but i thought the massing spelt "F U".



You be the judge. haha.


This photo of last year's junction art's festival here in launnie somehow gives me the motivation to do what im doing now. Photos. Arts. They make people (me) happy :)


Some quick diagrams that basically form the 'bone' of my architecture for the coming 10 weeks or so. Will see how it develops after tomorrow's tute.


It's little things like this that make my day. Going to uni. and having sushi kindly provided by a friend. ok. back to work!
