wakaka

erm...
assignments la...
submitted the Minor V9 display...but forgot to take picture
stupid huh?

p.s. was feeling terrible...guess why~
giv u chocs if u got it right~

catastrophic beginning...for the sake of designing?

being assigned to someone experienced to do design...its cool at the beginning

cool-nesses :

• detailed detailings
• practical practicality
• drafted draftings
• submit-able submissions
  

but the un-cool-nesses is sometimes headaching (at least i found it catastrophic)

un-cool-nesses :

• design worth...
• contractor worth...
• intellectual worth...
• respect worth...

i dont know..kinda lost...i can get A (maybe), if i stick to the arrangement
but that's so un-Tess...get what i mean?

by the way...found out this cool thing (which i think un-cool) at the Wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tess <-- the movie

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tess_of_the_d%27Urbervilles <-- the novel

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tess_%28character%29 <-- characterisation

its already being made into film 1978, and won awards...
a sad story, which i hope tht...

one day
some day
a day

in the future...Tess-ness will be reVAMPed
and its absolute...for me to represent
for the sake of Tess

Badan Warisan...with lies~

its the History and Culture 3 site visit today...there was none previously for history subjects
never heard of this place...which an architecture student should..
its a non governmental org which preserves traditional heritage trails of buildings and etc.
i think they r rich la...coz can get this big piece of land somewhere nearby the Golden Triangle...
crazy...

reach there quite early...earlier than i thought
went to the Craft Complex of Malaysia, kinda cool...
saw a Songket finished kinda memo thingy..almost bought it...very very very nice~
went to their cafeteria to get a drink...quite cheap lor
1.20 for teh susu besar...in KL some more...but acc to gary, their food there is okay only

thts the house...which they moved from Kedah

owned by this Penghulu Abu Samad ...which he bought previously from Perak

and then move to Kedah..just the Rumah Ibu...slowly, he add in the other compartments..like playing LEGO

the transition space between the public area (for men) and the private area (for women)

nice patterning on their building/ house's carvings

main entrance to the public/community space

coz the owner is a chief of several villages

so...whenever he got businesses etc etc...the villagers will gather here...

also

there's a temporary lock-up in the community space (also the chief's office)

the facade of the main house (Rumah Ibu)

they call it the Rumah Ibu coz the measurement unit, is from the mother of the family

her arm length out-stretched straight (depa)

cool huh? women power~

thts their basement (open air)

store their atap roof, sometimes food, children's play area, nap area, a space to socialise among the family members and also the villagers

also...whenever the Sultan (traditional dictators) come and pay a visit

there's their 'carpark'...to park their elephants

cool huh?

p.s. SORRY MOM, THT I LIED TO U ABOUT TODAY'S TRIP, I DROVE THERE ACTUALLY...SORRY

erm...something?

edited something for the site analysis presentation today...but it wasn't presented la...
coz i tot we r still in senior superatar's group, where as...i'm with uncle's side
so..cant blame anyone which made me look like, as if i didn't present anything



found out tht, the Petaling Jaya Trade Centre..is actually kinda cool~~
these daring people...they r so ambitious to have thing environmental friendly building
in fact...the outlook is cool also..besides being squarish~~


i thought tht the screen <- main feature of the trade centre design is just a selection of material, but i didnt expect it to be so conceptual..which the deisgn of woven cloth idea is inserted..
thts something new...rather than a metaphoric bamboo shoot in the middle of no where...dont you think so?

yet...its conceptual..
if its not further explained tht its idea originates from the pattern of woven clothes...
people might just think that the building surface treatment is another creative selection of material by the architect...agree?

these are some pictures taken during tht visit day to tht site...
i like the GLASS LANTERN LOBBY IDEA very much...
in the future...will it look like Philip Johnson's Glass House added with vent bricks?
i hope not...
