Housekeeping of Blog Authors

Hi! It's the start of sem and inevitably some housekeeping had to be done 'cos this blog only allows 100 authors, sadly.

I had to make space for my current students by removing 'older' members on a 'First In First Out' basis. The exceptions being: Those who have contributed, whom I know want to continue contributing, and who have worked with me in one way or another. No offence meant to anyone at all.

However, if you have been removed and wish to be put back in to contribute just pop me an email and we'll fix that.

Welcome to the whole new bunch of Dip A Tech Studio 3 students, Jan 2009! (Taylors Col, la, I mean. My UM friends, ur most welcome, too.)

I shall soon know who're in my unit, but as we (the tutors) said, "Move freely."

Let's bring some colour into our Studio this sem, okay?

And things don't always have to be what they seem, rite?

Happy Posting!

SQ's Studio 3 Final - Presentation Board Sample No.2

In my case, I placed my focus more on 2D drawings, especially on perpendicular sections. Unlike KS's, I didn't create digital model for the exterior view but i did made some interior perspectives, just to support the design.

Furthermore, i did made physical model.Well, it does helped in the feasibility of the building, materiality, and help others to visualize your design too, in case they couldn't understand your drawings. The presentation board is shown as below:

p/s: The preview is quite small, click it if you wanna see it clearly.

computer renderings using google sketchup 6 + vray for sketchup rendering plugin

however..i don't think sketchup is the most appropriate tool for generating 3d structures of this kind, it took too much time & energy.

So if design of Such Kind is not kinda fixed as early as 1 month before submission date, don't use sketchup, i believe things like 3dsmax/formZ/rhino can handle this more efficiently, I believe la...

ok good luck, more samples to come from my classmates, i guess..
