BTW, in my imagination, the new Taylor's Lakeside Campus really looks like a Futuristic State of the Art Greenhouse. [Heck, it should be one, I can imagine how nice it would be to study Architecture in a Flagship State of the Art Greenhouse!][/color]

Anyway, I would be studying in that massive Greenhouse in 2010! (Migrating from a smaller Greenhouse to an even larger Greenhouse!)

20x10x9mm? those are very, very small blocks. i dunno where u can get them. ask ur lecturer back lah. it's not something u can easily find like mounting board or softboards. might as well get lego sets

Here come another new assignment for me which is a research...i was asked to do the research about Mies Van Der Rohe the architect. Can the "seniors" here give me some list of books which related to this person? just need some help if anyone had ever read about him in any book, and tell me the book name or anything related to him...

thanks in advance...

im in taylors 3rd sem now but im a chinese ed.however i have no problem speaking in english just when i m speaking with a fren who could have speak in chinese then for sure i would cause it is kinda weird when 2 ppl who knows chinese chat in english....
i admit some of the "mandarin group" are not really good with their english,but not their concept or even skill in producing good work. instead of judge this matter from your point of view,why don't you view it another angle? they cant speak proper english and they feels so embarass when talking to such ppl like u who can speak well? Try to show ur interest of making friend with them with speaking some chinese or cantonese even though ur not really good,coz this is same to them. I have some of the chinese speaking group has really good concept n idea but always sucks big time in presentation and some english speaking fren whose idea is "so so" but they can do well in presentation. I dare to say that in architecture this course concept and presentation is equally important,so y don't u ppl group up and exchange idea n skill?

However,i can tell you that "us" as a chinese speaking group is kinda "anti" those banana (hope u dun mind),try to learn some chinese even it is basic. Don't limit yourself but try to accept others' culture,language or wadever,it brings no harm to u! To become a good designer has an open mind.

P.s - do u know amanda? the girl with a pierce below her lips...
