Experiences with Design Studios and future directions

So far, I think the design studios have really helped me grab the taste of architecture which was what I like about the Architectural Computing at UNSW. In Russell Lowe's design studio, we get the idea of how computers can be involved in architecture and it was certainly easy and straight forward. Xing's design studio has really dealt with the taste of architecture whether its to do with architectonics, parti drawings and poche drawings. I also got a taste of modelling skills and I learned and appreciated how they play a key role when it comes to working in an architectural industry.The most important thing about modelling is all about taking pride with design as well as neat presentation to show clients clearly how the building works.

With my future directions, my intention is to specialise in Digital Architecture because I find this area of specialisation interesting. I'm also keen to gain experience with doing architectural related stuff such as parametric modelling skills, 3d modelling skils, rendering skills, 3D visualisation skills as well as real-time visualisation skills. Since the fact that I'm a 20 year old student, I still have a long way to go but all I need is to take baby steps at a time to acheive that goal and one day I can do a lot of good things for the country and the globe.

Reflections and Design Ideas from Assignment Three

Overall I put a lot of effort with this assignment and I enjoyed being creative and thinking about appreciating the Indigenous Australian Community. Although I was a bit surprised that nearly most of the students were using a bit of CAD to create their final drawings, I ended up drawing using pen by using templetes from the pictures I snapped and the files from Sketchup. Cause I'm a Arch Comp student, I should have done some more drawings in Revit or sketchup. My modelling techniques obviously need room for improvement if I want to pursue architecture as my materiality choice is poor as well as unable to allocate more time which is the key with creating architectural models as they take ages to create. My intention for the model was to use FIMO (a clay used to create crafts such as necklaces and photo albums) as representation for the building but this plan failed, so I ended up using carboard and glue tack to create the buidling tough still, I was not happy with the aesthetics.

Here are some of my design ideas for my design for the art gallery:

Assignment Three Narrative and Background of Project

Narrative-
"AN ART HUB TO CELEBRATE AND APPRECIATE THE ERA OF CLIFFORD POSSUM TJAPALTIJARRI AND HIS COMMITMENTS IN HIS LIFE"

Clients/Owners of Art Gallery/Shop- Clifford Possum's daughters

Background- As we can see the daughters want to move into the city from Papunya, near Alice Springs because they believe that they have more oppurtunities in the city rather than their hometown. So they decided to persuade people to celebrate and appreciate their father's acheivements. Clifford Possum was well known by his invlovments in Papunya Tula, the group which does a variety of contemporary aboriginal art.
