    4more weeks and i can say i survived 1st year architecture

    Here's some images of my presentation that resulted to 5 whole days at uni during
    my mid-sem break while law students went to Goldcoast and partied.

    Each of these pages are A1 sized. I have totally lost my sense of value of money. This isn't even my final presentation and it was 70bucks. In the next 4weeks i know i need to fork out 350bucks for another 100 on presentation, 200 on portfolio, and 50 on model. Everytime i throw so much money away i think about all the starving children in Africa and it kills me a little inside.
    It's somewhat ironic. As architects, we're all so concerned about designs being sustainable and ecological. Then you take a look at how much paper and materials we use and throw away and you realise, designing something sustainable is probably an architects way of clearing their conscience.

    ANYWAY, I hand drew all the drawings and scanned them in then photoshopped.
    That axonometric drawing in the first page (the one with the red), that took me a total of 12 hours literally. It's my pride and joy and centre piece LOL

    Look at my sperm whale in my tank below hahaha. Thats how i make architecture fun. Put whales in fish tanks and point it out to everyone

    And here's my model. It's definately not one of my finest work but my tutor seems to really like it so meh. All the blue parts you see, i did some resin casting and put in bits of blue pigments. It's messy stuff.
    It's actually a really really flimsy model. Some pighead lifted it up while i was out for lunch and i came back to a distorted model with broken ramps and a piece of
    it that was supposed to be sitting on the bottom inside of the building, on TOP of my roof. Whoever managed to do all that without completely devastating the model is quite impressive.
