These are something similar to the show played on week 3 lecture. I am just thinking about the framers. Their times of trying, the ways of conceiving and the patience of doing are worthy.

Structure Materials (the big external cover) - Concrete & Steel

Roof Materials (the big external cover) - Iron board

Stair Materials - Wood & Steel Cable

Studio Materials - Bricks, Glass & Steel Cable

Sketchbook Stair section

The column shows like Fiona's work "Understorey" was kept in a big glass tank and the tank is placed on a table which is hanged by 2 cables from the roof.

I used the word "soft" to display the main external supporting architecture. I think it is the best one to materialise comfort. While flowers are blooming, the ocean of flower would be the most comfortable place.

Structure Materials (the big external columns) - Stalactite

Stair Materials - Bricks & Concrete
Studio Materials - Steel & Concrete

Sketchbook Stair section

The job "Full Fathom Five" done by Rosalie is hanged on the wall and displayed as a wooden prodution.

The texture I chosed for the underground part is "plaid" which echoes the shape of entire cube studio.

Fiona Hall - Flower, Bloom, Impure

This flower style design is one of the series of "Understorey" producted by Fiona Hall. " 'Understorey' is an exuberant yet shocking account of the inter-relationships of life and death. The work contrasts two views of the tropical environment: the eighteenth and nineteenth century European notion of the equatorial forest, or 'jungle', as a site of luxuriance/fecundity/adventure (and also zealous hunting for plant and animal specimens); and the contemporary reality of on-going civil unrest and the displacement of people from traditional territories due to land clearance, urbanisation and the political after-effects of colonisation/ The work depicts elements of plant and human material, using a variety of media, though predominantly glass beads, the currency of colonisation. It includes a number of three-dimensional objects made entirely from minute glass beads threaded onto wire. A recurring motif is the use of camouflage patterning – a symbol of our time that transforms the patterns of nature into the fabric of conflict and hostility. Understorey brings together fragments of a beautiful, fragile, transient realm, and in the way of science, traps them in the filing system (morgue) of the museum display cabinet."
(Fiona Hall quoted in Julie Ewington, Fiona Hall, Piper Press, p. 163)

The action of blooming that I chose is to describe his work is because the colors he used. This work is consist of glass beads, silver wire and vitrina. He used these materials so often in lots of his productions. He used silver wire to set the structure up then inlaid on the little pieces of ornaments.

Rosalie Gascoigne - Footprint, Trample, Random

This production by Rosalie Gascoigne is called "Full Fathom Five". Most of the square pieces have five holes on them, a big one with four smaller ones around. I think that they look like dog footprints so much. The artist's idea might come from the Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". "Full Fathom Five" are the first three words of a famous sing in it.

The product was made of sawn wood on wood. The main concept of Gascoigne's work is to cut things up and rearrange them in a random order to create some abstract images through these grids.

EXP1 - ARCHITECTURE I LOVE THE MOST - Water Cube

Water Cube is the National Aquatics Centre of China. It was built in 2008 and had been used for the 2008 Olympic Game as the swimming and diving games centre.

The idea of building it is from bubbles in soap foam which is called the Weaire-Phelan structure. For me, the most attractive part of it is the irregular shape of each little section. When they combine together, the overall visual image can be profect. The water color of Water Cube, blue, is able to be presented as a big natural crystal by the light from inside.

If you want me to use one word to describe it, it could be "mysterious".

EXP1 - MY FAVOURITE ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH - Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

This photo was taken by my friend in 2004. It's a part of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Li Jiang, Yunan, China. She heard a tale from the people there. There was a cave. If a couple could find it from midnight to next day morning when the rooster crowed, they could get the benediction from the fairy and live together to the end of their life.

You can click the photo to get the real size of it.

I love the color of the flowers, trees and the arrangement where she got the photo from, simple but not flat.

it is just for fun~ not an assessment~

EXP1 - CREATIVE WORK OF PAST - HELLO MY LOVE

HELLO MY LOVE

hello my love
where have you been
mysticism
you keep yours in your mind
when you dropped it
i picked it up
an old movie
a memorial moment
passing in front of me

no idea

hello my love
the day you said bye to me
the sky face was grey
there was nothing to me
you or someone else
a farce on that day
it'd never be seen

so confused

it's not a time to say i miss someone
coz i'm very happy here
when someone is happy
the sadness would be hidden
but the difference is that
never try to ignore the thing that's ever happened
that's your past
living without the past
you are not you





farce
from the begain to the end


since
the star doesn't know the character
the playwright doesn't know the play
the director doesn't know the name of the movie


the film are proceeding
it's because nobody cares




thats a really long story

The reason why I chose this is I like it.
I didn't indeed save the thing I wrote down on somewhere.
Nomarlly it has an attractive start or an impressive end but the other parts are boring.
I was trying designing something in mind, however, it did come out because of my poor drawing skills and unclear purpose.
I think I can study it from now and get a good achievement.

Creative task, this is what I think architecture is.
