Email from Peggy

hey guys,

below is a msg from Peggy, i've forwarded a copy to your email as well just in case u guys didnt get the msg =)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KIDS! It's Peggy here!
Sarawak Heritage Society will be having an exhibition during Building Trade Show on 26th-29th March 2009 at the Permata Carpark.

Remember your last assignment for Arch Design 252?

A major part of the exhibition will concern the old markets. Exactly the scope of your project site for Arch Design 252 final project.

So, CONGRATULATIONS! Your beautiful and painstakingly crafted models will get to come out of those cobweb-ridden storeroom, to see daylight again and be displayed again!!!

Please prepare your model to be displayed PROFESSIONALLY!!! ... which means make sure you display your school logo, with group members name on a card to be attached to your group models. Please coordinate your 3 group name cards to be standardised.

Get ready to move and set up your model there on Tuesday 24th March 2009 afternoon!!! Bring your presentation panels as well, we'll see how to fit it in.

Call me if you run into difficulties. (i.e. your model had been eaten by your dog or abducted by space aliens)

Thanks,
Peggy

kudos to AT 5 . . .

. . . and of course to Sarawak Heritage Society too :P

architectural sketches

let me i introduce to you, Ricardo Massucatto. a dude whom i got to know with from Deviantart.com.

first thing first he is NOT an architect. he's a painter from brazil. he's not actually an architecture artist or anything but most of his painting/artwork are quiet interesting that i wanted to share it with my classmates.


most of his sketches involve outdoors where there are lots of human figure and rows of buildings. some are well painted artwork and some are just simple sketches.



an artwork doesn't always have to be full of colours.


a black and white drawing can bring it's own statement as well.


there are a lot of style of sketches you could try on. every one have their own signature style.
what i like about his artwork is the way he draw his human figure =) like this image below.





of course there are a lot of ways to do your sketches : from marker rendering to a plain black and white sketches, with some shadowing using pencils to a simple water colour rendering. but the most important of all, never forget to write simple note that could help u revise back to the sketches that you have drawn.

and oh ya, never forget your human figure. remember that it helps a lot in figuring the size of a building or a space.

HAPPY SKETCHING

LOL of the day

If you are architecture students you've probably experienced:

-the taste of wood glue
-changes in your vocabulary: homework to project, ball to sphere, etc
-you don't understand how somebody can spend less than $20 at the supplies store
-you hate people telling you "go to sleep" or "do you still have a lot of work?"
-your friends and you don't have the same concept of work "oh, well do it right before class"
-you've slept more than 20 straight hours on weekends
-you can easily discuss with authority the effects of caffeine on different drinks
-no matter the effort you put in a project, somebody will always say “why don’t you add this�? or “why don’t you change this here�? or “i think that…but…yeah, its ok�?
-you’ve heard all your ipod songs in a week
-you aren’t seen in public without bags under your eyes
-whenever you get invited somewhere, it is followed by “or do you have a lot of homework?�?
-you’ll dance ymca with a choreography without a drop of alcohol in your system
-you write down a quick message with rapidographs, lead holders, markers and ink
-you constantly make up excuses for courses that are not design related why you didn’t do your work
-you have more pictures of landscapes and places than of people
-your worst nightmare consists of not finishing a project
-someone once called you “lazy�? and you wanted them murdered
-you can live without human contact, sunlight, food, but if your plotter’s ink runs out… chaos!!!
-when somebody lends you a Bic pen you look down at it
-you don’t care about sports cars, your favorite car is the one where you can put in your model and your huge computer
-you design spectacular things without the idea of the cost
-you have the modern mark: a blister in your palm’s hand for the constant use of your mouse
-everybody tells you how they admire your work, “but there is no money for it�?
-you’ve gained the ability to sleep in whatever surface: pencils, keyboards, backpacks, your studio mates, food, etc
-you always have the idea that your project will always be recognized
-when you finally have free time to go out you keep thinking “who was the idiot that designed the restaurant’s bathroom?�? “who designed this menu?�? or “who designed this [chair, table, lighting, fork, etc]�?
-you've been at many sunrises, yet you've never seen one
-you need to read all this in a facebook group to realize how weird your life is
