ARCH1162 - Communications WkShop 2 - Material Modelling

This workshop really 'drove me crazy' at the beginning because its sufficient pre-workshop taskes. However, actually these taskes forced me to find out the concept around us that we could see everyday but never realised. The things I realised gave me the experiences of discovering design ideas by our side.






Wk4 - Final - "Healing"




The concept of this model was inspired by DNA. I was trying to use two intersecting DNAs to present the process of the configurating of DNA. The healing of wound is the healing of cells. Cells need to be built by DNA so that little pieces become big pieces and big pieces finally combine together to be as a whole. It is the way of healing that can not be seen by eyes.



Wk3 - City Experience










Probably, the best word to present city is 'busy'. Busy people and busy cars are running in the city everywhere. Nobody can stop them exceot one, the traffic light. The traffic light is like the hub of the big heart city. It gives this busy city a break. The reason why I made the model a bit funny is that I want the people who are waiting under the traffic light to feel happy but not angry.




Wk2 -








This model was based on the concept of 'big thing split up into small pieces and the small pieces still contain the property of its previous form'. So the butterflies are flying up and also growing up. Finally, the path that the butterflies travelled made a big butterfly shape to display the concept.

ARCH1162 - Communications WkShop 1 - Fluid Thoughts to Action Workshop





From this workshop, I started to use charcoal and watercolor to do sketchs and drawings. Pencil and pen were the only things that I used to finish my work. After touching charcoal and watercolor, I really felt that how amazing they can do and help our architectural designs. I learnt the ways of making a picture 'real' and to use these skills to develop the entire body and details of my drawings.
