To photograph a fireworks display? Its really more than just the explosives themselves. the things people do to get that view makes it all the more extraordinary.

To Get That View (2012)

My project located in Mowscow, a hand-drawn render!

Cliff

And of course a hand made model of the project!

Finally a sample of my own work! - My most recent drawing for a project in Moscow

Food Architecture at its best

La Cerise sur Le Gateau, or The Cherry on the Cake

11-1pm

had lunch, and finally a design idea...

11 March 2012 9-11am

Skyped my parents, had bf, made green bean soup to my mum's recipe! I feel so much better now.

9-11pm

found out that previews are in a weeks time

and did nothing else! oh my god...

7-9pm

Had dinner, watch my sugar cake fail, and made some lego blocks...

6-7pm

Prepared bai tang gao (bak tong gou), applied for a water meter, swtiched to ebilling for virgin media.

Slightly better, but school work is still stagnant, maybe i should decrease the frequency, just to make it look better!

10 March 2012 5-6pm

Took a few photos of my model and replied a friend of facebook.

Ohmygod, it actually took that long to do that? I am such a newbie. Better try harder!

Today I embark on an Idle diet.

Yes, I have been having too much of it, too much idle, so much in fact, that my brain's just obese with nonsense. I will start my diet plan, idle in moderation. Lucky for me, most things in life do not have idle included, such as cooking, or making, or even shopping, so long as there is a purpose and a true function other than 'taking time off' or 'relaxing', playing is by no means idle. I should be easy, I hope.

And really, to remind myself not to waste my life on total nothingness, I will report, here, to myself and perhaps the four of you followers, on the things I do during my day, every hour in fact, no matter how measely my accomplishments may be.

Until then, I wish myself all the best.

behold

Al Yaqoub Tower

For the first time in my life, I can declare, without restraints

This is an ugly building. ugly as the term in all its expressive glory, no lines between or strings attached.

Baloon Bench

By H220430, a mouthful, or should I say, mindful of a name, but the idea is great, and the outcome, well, stunning. Four anchors are concelaed within the balloons. Via Mocoloco.com

Beekman Tower

I'm sorry Mr Gehry, I cannot understand this building. I have so many issues with this child of yours, that it is difficult to accept him into my class. He is ordinary, yet arrogant, he tries to be different, but looks the same, he tries to be sleek, but really is so rough. What he is, though, true architecture, nobody ever said that architecture had to be beautiful, this is not, but it is truly a piece. Thank you, for this monstrosity that I can't stop looking at.

Mizukagami, Water Mirrors

A collaboration between Rikako Nagashima and Hideto Hyoudou, take a look, how brilliant, mind the pun

Brutalist - ugly?

Kenzo Tange's Masterpieces, the Tokyo Olympic Stadium, easily more beautiful than any of the other Olympic Stadiums, closest counterpart I can think of is the one for Athens by Calatrava.

This building makes concrete look exquisite.

I appreciate these images from an unknown source.
