- DESIGN 3 / INDA International Program / Chulalongkorn faculty of architecure / BANGKOK -
The studio follows the general brief and schedule given to all second year students.
Tuesday we will present the next project to you. You therefore have the week-end to complete this one, finish your drawings, write your ideas, intentions and references, add the missing elements etc.
All of you please,
post your entire project
- from analysis to renderings -
accompanied with a text specifying the title and the idea/concept/position behind your design.
Do not forget to label your post with your name and/or the name of your project.
For yesterday's students:
Geng - re-work drawings and images + research on disabled people missing
Shane - work on your drawings! and model + read this, this and this about the origins, the meanings and the evolution of Zaha Hadid's drawings, especially with the emergence of the computer in architectural practices of the 90's
Amy - work on drawings + renderings missing
Cherry - diagrams to describe choices + a text explaining your project, your intentions will be very helpful + suggested explorations: a book, The garden of forking paths by Jorge Luis Borges; films by Alain Resnais, notably Last Year in Marienbad, more to come...! also look at the work of Richard Galpin
Ton - work on your renderings + research on the website i sent you before (http://www.w-e-a-t-h-e-r-s.com/) ways to express graphically vaporous data such as temperature or smell + here and there, a possible opening for the future
Eiab - focus on one path through history, design and detail it in your drawings and model
Grace - look for different ways to express materials and textures through drawings and mix-media (Herzog & DeMeuron, James Wine, R&Sie, from Lebbeus Wood's blog, Herb Greene houses' drawings, Bruce Goff's work and renderings, etc.) + develop a possible scenario for the creation of the conditions we discussed yesterday, the process and the results over time
Thank you Fa for the pictures of yesterday's presentations! And congratulations to the ones who presented, there were some really interesting proposals and physical manifestations.
I would like to remind you once again that you should all attend all presentations. I already explained why - it is for your own good. The last projects we saw yesterday were particularly interesting and well developed, unfortunately only 2 or 3 students were present...
Before we move on to the next brief, post the whole of this project on the blog, along with a short text specifying the title and the idea/concept/position behind your design.
For those of you who have presented yesterday and realized you could improve on your drawings and/or models, feel free to present those improvements to me on Friday!. + post on the blog
Some suggestions ... Golfe - your drawings especially your sections could improve a lot (as you told me yourself!)
Ong - pursue and develop your hand drawings and paper models - your presentation was very poor
Fa - drawings! especially sections and façades
N - drawings & renderings! - research and explore the world of tensile architecture (you seem to have enjoyed the making of the roof..)
Best - drawings!
Pun - a sensory deprivation chamber might effectively be a good idea - visual explanation of your mirroring systems - drawings to be detailed and clarified
Enn - all the introduction to your project: scenario, inspiration etc.
Those are suggestions you can follow if you want to improve on your design abilities. It is not a question of getting a better mark, it is purely for yourself!
Looking forward to part 2 on Friday! Please prepare your presentations well.
