zihao work report

erm this is my design for a apartment/SOHO scheme with integrated ground level train/tram station with walkway into train station. mother of all mixed planning schemes. inspired by the beautiful plans of morphosis rather than the forms of hadid.

tutor say: You have a good freehand/interim drawing style and commuictaion technique. This generally make sit very easy to understand were you are at. Your final presentation style is still a lacking in hierarchy and tends to dark/gloomy....Generally good engagement with the semesters themes....although still working on Singapore scale for a long time!

she hor, confuse me. ask me to imagine designing for most ulu station in singapore i think buangkok i think quite ok leh. still to large scale. faintz. why gloomy leh? my laptop shows a rich mix of nice layers of monochrome, to sch print hor, jitao come out black. looks dark and gloomy. printing here is via a C2400 like my old fren in scalebar. 2 bucks for A3. i stiched my AO from A3 printouts. A1 printing is at 44 bucks apiece here.

very interesting experiences talking to her, coz i tend to stumble and my mind black out. got one instance i presented to her gibberish, she stared blankly at me i stared back, she asked me "do u have any idea what u've just said?", i replied "sorry? did i say anything?" faintz. the pinnacle of my miscommunication is when i turned up for my last studio session to update my progress, and she was nicely telling me what i need to do, blah blah blah, then i said, "i understand, i m here to put u in place" when my mind was thinking "i m here to put u in PERSPECTIVE"...shane looked away...

there is perhaps some sort of ethnocentricity at work when she somewhat takes a condescending view of what me and shane produces. but shrugs, we did our best and we enjoyed the studio alot, nice fun dudes all ard. happy shining people holding hands~



this one my masterplan. hmm. its a vision for housing for the socially mobile in melbourne that works in and ard the city, docklands and west melb industries. to destroy the victorian grid of 30m roads into typological strips that enclose smaller public reams. the crux of this design must be the plaza that links directly to the train station. various crit panels loved the idea of the plaza.

ive uploaded a walkthough through my design scheme and various stuff. yeah been intending to upload this for damn long but got no idea how to do it haha. end of semester. glad. missed the action in singapore really.
