SJ 12- 3 buildings with 3 concepts

3 buildings : Sydney Opera house
Pickel barrel house
Baha'i worship place

The Opera house of Sydney is now a world know icon of Australia.

The design was based on sea shells , as Sydney is a famous harbour and port in Australia
Thus, using seashells as an icon to build the structure of the Opera house.

The pickel barrel house is a double story cabinet build of two barrels,designed based on a cartoon character that were 2 inches tall, and live under a rose bush in the pickle barrel. The pickle barrel house is located at Grand Marais ,Michigan.

The Baha'i place of worship ,India is a place of worship for the followers and believers to gather and worship. The lotus plant was selected as the design of the building.Lotus plant was origanated from india, and it is a very elegant icon.

SJ 11- My favourite item

there are many favourite item in my life, as i observe around me , i decided to pick one of my favourite item that i did not really pay attention to.That was my Converse shoes. I bought it when there was a burglary at my house, that took my pair of nike sneakers away. Thus, replacing Nike sneakers , i bought this pair of Converse. It's major color was white , and coated with Blue layout. Why blue ? cause blue is my favourite color . It is a comfortable pair of shoe, meant for walking , casual wear , but not for sports , as it is not design to for such purposes.

SJ 10- Initial idea for viewing tower ( toy character : Spiderman)

For design and visualization class , Project 3a was actually based on the toy character that we chose back in the early semester, now we are required to further develop our idea with the toy and build a viewing tower that is suitable for our toy, and contains important aspects.

My chosen toy was Spiderman , from Marvel comic and further brought into the film industry, releasing a saga of Spideman movie.

The one and only Spidey....

The ideas was develop based on Spiderman's characteristic

and suitable elements that are applicable to his tower.

Example, Spiderman is a superhero, so he must be brave and heroic.

heroic and bravery takes time to develop and improve in time , thus i selected a growth pattern which symbolize growth of bravery and heroic in Spiderman himself.

Adding a very strong symbol into spiderman's tower , would give the tower a very strong and firm flavour.The structure of it is more of circular, as oval shape is a very bold form (relating to spiderman's bravery).
materials: metal wire & strings

both materials are able to fuse as one to form a very organic form of tower. Which make sense as Spiderman he himself is a living 'insect' hero.

SJ09- 3 Penang postcards

The Penang trip was conducting for both culture & design class.
With Miss Deliya & Miss Norma assisting us throughout the whole trip.
