Analysis of HBP

PROJECT 6 : ANALYSIS OF HBP SPACES (COMPOSITION)

Given duration of one week time, we had more time than enough to complete our project as well. Searching information about Housing, Building and Planning is never a easy job. Surfing the internet, looking for the info of HBP and coming out with just little information. Without knowing the exact info which has to be inserted in the presentation board causes a big problem. But it's challenging. Furthermore, we know nothing much about the board. Fortunately, many info given in RUS104 facebook group and those info are really helpful. Thanks to Mr Azree as well.

My theme used to be INFORMATION. The reason i choose info is that i can probably get to know well about the buildings of HBP and in the way helping myself to create graphical report according to the info obtained online. Mainly i emphasis on the location and the climatic changes of HBP which is more precise in view as not to put all information in a A3 board. Quite small board actually~

Alfa Watercolour, the best watercolour i ever used

Though some drawings were done but i didn't inserted in the board as space limited

When seeing my friends' works, i said "wow..."

When glancing my own work, i sighed "oh..."

But then after thinking twice, just knowing that satisfaction is never enough.

But at least i had put effort on it...

Be kind to myself... Maybe it's just a START or INITIATOR for me.

Will be doing A BETTER one in future. Promised~

THE MASK... FEELING MASK

Feeling... What's my feeling towards this project? It's true i do not know what am i looking for... What's my feeling when enter a room or space? Room fully filled by scorpion? Room which having party? Or glorifying space? Creepy face? Living happy space? Sad space?

And yet, i don't think so... I will be thinking of space that i had already owned now, space for me to mature, to build up my personality, to enhance my working performance etc... 

HBP Archi = My space

Feeling? 

Yeah, i meet the "MITIGATION"... A sign of relief as well...

So, i name my mask as "MASK OF MITIGATION"...

Well, i am afraid of not involving in Archi-world... I wanna be an archi since i was in primary school and i had already convinced myself that i can make it someday. Eventually, I am here...

Yeah, really a sign of relief... Feeling of mitigation in terms of stress in academic, overestimated by others, being the best brother in family... Nothing to worry anymore, just being myself, being honest to myself and compete with myself, searching what i want to be... Sounded that i had gone through many difficulty in my life, for me -- yes, i had gone through all those obstacles, looking for more obstacles... and yet NO, i think i am the lucky one compared to those who even don't know how to write ABC or maybe don't even have the ability to see or read.

These are the steps to produce the MASK OF MITIGATION...

Step 1: Face covered with PE Food Wrap

Step 2: Making the first tissue layer

Step 3: Pasting the paper, reinforce as well

Step 4: Mask is done

Step 5: Paint by white dye

Step 6: Designing and drawing

Step 7: MASK OF MITIGATION is completed

Why did i choose this design and colour?

This is because human is equal in many aspects as being told by our lecturer. I choose curve design to manifest equilibrium of human being relate to nature. I use such many colours is to show the nature beauty. 

Asking why am i closing the eyes and mouth as well?

Just simple, I AM IN THE STATE OF MITIGATION... Pretty satisfied with what i had owned now. 

Some photos taken by friends during the process...

PROJECT 4B

PROJECT 4B -- THE BLUEPRINT

Oh ya, really difficult to draw out the exact measurements but yet i did it...

Being taught by my studio master that there are two kinds of working process to build up a building:

1) Building model, then goes to blueprint

2) Blueprint goes first, then build model

I found out that i prefer the first method which is building sample first, then head for blueprint though will be quite tough to produce blueprint after designing and building. Think about the measurement for sure to ease further blueprinting. 

Will be photos' speaking...

PROJECT 4A - Sculpture

Sculpture

Theme to be SUSTAINABLE

Sustainable Architecture?

From Wikkipedia, Sustainable architecture is a general term that describes environmentally conscious design techniques in the field of architecture. Sustainable architecture is framed by the larger discussion of sustainability and the pressing economic and political issues of our world. In the broad context, sustainable architecture seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by enhancing efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space. Most simply, the idea of sustainability, or ecological design, is to ensure that our actions and decisions today do not inhibit the opportunities of future generations. This term can be used to describe an energy and ecologically conscious approach to the design of the built environment.

First Thought

First, i came out with the idea by using plastic bottles to reach the theme of sustainable as bottles can be recycled and reused as well. Not knowing that mounting board is the main medium, i planned to combine plenty of bottles to build up a sculpture. But then came to no avail because of bottles should be sub-medium.

Very first idea

Simple first draft

With further hesitation, i decided to insert the shape of bee hive which is hexagon and combine with the plastic bottles. Yeah, i choose hexagon just like the bee hive and i think that it consciously approaches to the design of the built environment. Implicitly bring out the simple idea of evolvement and expansion in term of sustainability.  

Progress... The challenging moment

Cutting out the shape of hexagon

Stability test

Building up my sculpture

The final product of my sculpture, and i named it as B-STRUCTURE to bring out the combination meanings of Bottles and Bee. Yet, randomly arrange the shape and unevenly and non-uniformly building up B-STRUCTURE. This is probably what i am thinking --- RANDOM, though will be difficult for me to draw out in the next project.

Plan View of B-structure

Right side View of B-structure

Thinking that will be quite pretty in low light condition, here comes... Hopefully enjoyable!!!

Yeah, i did it and pretty satisfied with it. Building up an idea isn't that easy but also isn't that hard.   And i would like to share that if it's a good idea, put it on a good piece of paper and build it if possible. Cheers...

THE CUBE

PROJECT 3B: THE CUBE 

Issued by last friday, 30 September. The very moment of it, thinking that perspective really do leave us sense of space in 3-Dimension. Now i just realised how the perspective drawing is invented and how. Copied from lecture that "Artists used mathematics and close observation to invent linear perspective. Linear perspective allows artists to trick the eye into seeing depth on a flat surface." and yet i found it really awesome.

Progress of PERSPECTIVE DRAWING

Studio "Rambling" in artwork

Why did i choose only one point perspective?

The only reason is i love one point perspective, not intending to use two points, ^^ Just want to show the 3D feel of my model using one point. Few models can be drawn, and yet i choose these three among those...

Colouring it with the usage of toning and shading as well to show the feel of 3D

PROJECT 3B done

Cheers... Learn 3D-ing a object. Recently, i noticed that really, these projects had already do me a favour in bring myself near to the pinnacle of beauty in art. And yet, should be improving in the coming project. Yeah, "PINNACLE", hoping that will reach it one day...
