Starting the 1st day of the sem until now, i never feel good, assignment drive me crazy, even take a rest also will let me feel guilty. haha...ya,when i saw all of my fren list on msn show their status on buzy den i wil feel that so it force me to do work.Since i noe that architecture is a tough course but once i choose it,i wunt giv up, jus try my best on every subject.
No doubt,the favourite subject for me in thi sem is Design studio but the second project is sooooooo hard, ya.cause we ned to design an art gallery at an existing building, it limited my idea thinking but it is a great time for me to challenge myself. I learn quet alot things on this sem also, building science, services, construction...its good, i gain knowledge on dos subject. About theory class, erm...i feel happy when i noe there is no any exam for it, feel cool that we can have a movie during the class but they are jus a desert before a meal. Dam..lols...Since my english standard is so bad u noe, dos essay is very hard for me ,i cant even understand some of dem as well, sometimes when i bloging, i dun noe wat i am talking about also...lols,wat a shame~
But everything got their good and bad, i like the essay '' An Architecture of Seven Senses '' it let me noe that we can feel the art in defferent way, in architecture view , we cant jus see through the building, we ned to feel it as well. Some of the theory i oso confuse u noe, like the '' concept of place '' place in a space?..space whithin a place?...lols..ya.i noe they both related. I also like the trip to Kellie castle, it is a nice place even it is just a 1 day trip but i can say tat it is a nice trip.
Like i say at the 1st,i din feel good in this sem...i cant stop thinking on design, until now, i dun like my design oso..there is still a better way to make it better...and i am thinking so hard...and my laziness will killing me on it. i noe i mus work harder, thinking on sumthing not just right and wrong. arh !
Best moment during dis sem?...non stop doing assignmetn and pay for expensive printing?...trust me,u wil nvr feel greats when u are archi student.i thk i wil just feel the best moment during the sem break...hahaha..ohya,adding here...the great moment in dis sem is praise by my lecture in a design group work,since i m archi student,it let me feel good.
I got my own quote '' do only lo '' wat a postive thinking huh...ya,wat can we do?...jus kep doing on dos assignment,submit on time....try to get a nice grade?...Life is bored?...
There is a chinese quote i want to share here..in english '' when u feel that u are kep doing the same thing everyday or non stop repeating it...try to look backward ,u will see everything u did makes a different on ur life.''....mayb i can translate better but due to my english level,i hope u can understand it...=)
Corridor of Kellie's Castle
Contrast-The bulding is actually destroyed during world war 2.The facade of the building is mixed with two different type of material,the white one is built during the restoration.They is trying to brings back the soul of the building but from here u can still can see the different between the new and old architecture.Its makes the building unique.
RUINS.Loneliness- This reminds me of St Paul's Cathedral facade in Macau. The single wall with openings.This is the 1st bunglow of Kelie Smith,destroyed at world war 2.The small plants on the wall brings life to the old lonely wall.Nature life up everythings.
ABANDONED VOID-Actually here will be the lift shaft of the building(The 1st in Malaysia)but failed to import frm Portugal so it becomes a void.You can see the natural light import from the arch window.Repetitive form creates rhythm, one can feel the volume and distance of the long void.
Texture.Strength-This place is the guardhouse of the building.It built up brick by brick.The bricks is the finishes of the wall and it stand there for over 100 years.This show the true materials and workmanship of the building.The broken bricks tells all to us.
