I cant seem to get started on my boat station construction.
this semester is really not that exciting anymore. I seem to be running out of ideas, or feel limited by the site conditions. I feel quite lost, really.
What is material and materiality? Forms, spaces, voids, volumes, planes, lines, dots and whats not.
You put a wall here, they question you why
the thickness,
the height,
the length,
the orientation,
the poetic appreciation,
the function,
the space it created.
Do you want to show the volume or the space, or to frame the scenery across the river?
OH COME ON! ITS JUST A FREAKING PLAIN WALL! And I have tons of them! Must each wall have an answer to everything? Then can I not have walls!? Just design a pavillion lah!
My head is going to explode anytime with all the questions bombed at my boat station. I have to convince myself the design b4 I can convince people! But I am so not convinced! I am really worried that I will have to start from scratch again, coz that will be back to square ONE, doing site analysis, then concept, then ideas...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I haven't even decide on the form, how can I decide on my materials and detailings? This is really not interesting at all!
No wonder not many students who took architecture ended up being architects. There's so much to take into consideration!
Urban planners have a better life off i feel.
Landscape architects too.
Interior designers not that bad too.
Product designers are more flexible too.
Set designers are even better, no real site for analysis!
Architecture critic sounds good too.
I really don think I'll take the Masters prog immediately after my 4th year. I'll probably find a job and work for 2 or 3 years and when I have saved enough, then I'll go overseas for Masters, thats if I have decided to be an architect!
I would really like to travel ard the world to see those renowned architecture. They are really amazing and inspirational. I wonder how different will I feel when I step into the architecture. Those who had seen them said that the spatial experience is beyond words. I ALSO WANT TO EXPERIENCE GOOD ARCHITECTURE!!
Oh money, pls drop from the sky!!
