QUOTE(mwkh_hope @ Jul 23 2008, 08:59 PM) Yeah.. that's true. i think as a architecture student.. we need to balance up our work schedule. so that we able to finish on time... Unfortunately I'm not good at balancing my schedule. I find it hard to keep working, and once I stop, I stop for a long time... I guess I'm lazy  Trying to change that anyway...I know it's hard T.T This post has been edited by Daniel_Chin: Jul 24 2008, 08:42 PM |

QUOTE(the_aki @ Aug 1 2008, 01:20 PM) I always go to Basheer in BB Plaza, not much choice but cheaper than Kinokuniya. Anyone can recommend a cheaper place? Basheer has many architectural books, not sure about other places...I'm currently doing a 30x30x40 basic shapes project that represent famous architect's principles and moods. I am totally out of idea, anyone can recommend me a website or a book to read up? About your project...I've done something similar to that, but it's form not shape. First you need to find an architect and study all his/her famous buildings. It is very important to find one that you really like, and you have to really understand his/her style. Like what other seniors mentioned, Form, Space, and Order is a must-have and you can refer to that for ideas on how to combine basic shapes to achieve more interesting shapes and designs. I don't know about any websites but you can visit websites related to the architect of your choice. One lesson I've learned(in a hard way) is that you have to balance between extracting the architect's style and incorporating your own design or interpretation. Never design something that looks 90% like what the architect has done or would've done, it's too direct and not creative. This post has been edited by Daniel_Chin: Aug 4 2008, 01:01 AM |

QUOTE(x_far_x @ Sep 8 2008, 11:27 PM) Umm...a friend of mine is interested in landscape architecture. Which university offers that program or is it just architecture in general? Help please, thank you! Limkokwing has the program...but I wouldn't recommend because it's a very new course, they are having first batch students....only 2 if I'm not mistaken -FaR .Added on September 20, 2008, 12:28 am QUOTE(Benjamin911 @ Aug 29 2008, 10:35 PM) Currently, the building analysis assignment is really giving me a very big headache... This building by Tadao Ando looks familiar...saw it in my recent culture lecture...under Assemblage I am analyzing the following site & building: (It is a very beautiful work of architecture in my opinion.)  The big problem is, I cannot find enough information about this building & site on the internet. I have to state the design theory of the architect, the design intention of the project, the design concept/idea which drives the project, and the design issue/determinant which was important to the design process. In addition to the above, I would also have to analyze how the ideas and issue have been translated into the architectural forms and spaces of the project. I really like this building & site a lot, but it is very frustrating not to be able to obtain adequate information about it. It would be good if someone in here can link me to resources containing detailed information about this building & site. I would also have to produce diagrams & analytical sketches to show my analysis. It would be great if there are diagrams of the building & site too. (Which I can work on.) Hope you guys can help me out. I already have plenty of photos of the building and site to work on, but not enough information... Regards.

QUOTE(azarimy @ Feb 3 2009, 10:40 PM) Added on February 3, 2009, 10:46 pm there are several designs available by artwright. u could buy the table top drafting board which u can put up on any table. it comes with an elevator to setup the board at an angle for drafting. or u could just buy the drafting board only and build a table urself  .or buy a 2nd hand from seniors or an architect's office. i bought mine in 1996, costs RM400 for a full set (drafting board, full stand, parallel bar). |
