Floor plans started really slowly to the idea which didn't work very well. I was pretty upset and lost. I didn't know what to do with these sets of plans. They looked ugly and boring. So I thought for next week I'll build a model instead......

Back to the drawing board for me........ but now I was catching on to something. Well at least I thought I was.

Now I believe this had to be the best idea I have thought of throughout the process. A structure that would not alter the views of the highway from a distance.




Did I mention that I tried to build a quick section of this?
Well, it didn't look too pretty.....

It was the time to capture ideas from other architects such as Ando with his HHHstyle.com building. Not exactly the way to go, but the PBS building sure did help a bit. An idea of a floating seesaw came to my mind as a potential design.

It's already tough as I start to develope an idea for this assignment. But that's what is all about.

I feel lost.... I feel like nothing.... I need help.... I need a break.... but I need not to give up!

The Drawer

The image of an optical illusion of a black hole was projected into the drawer of a flat file to illustrate the purpose of the drawer. The projection tries to illustrate that the drawer is more than just a storage unit, rather it is a unit used to hide beautiful work! It assist in keeping good work from the eyes of the viewers.

The project did not turn out the way it should have be. It should have concentrated more on the geometry of space around rather than tell a story. I have learned a valuable lesson while working on this project! It has shown me, from others' work, that any space can become interesting. That any space can become interesting with one simple move. I hope to use steps similar to these taken to help me become a better student. There were many works that I have to appreciate for it's great effects. Please feel free to click on the links under the "Studio Folks" title to view the intelligent works. My favorite has to be Vi's.
