With that curve shape, how you arranged for the soff for the worshipper? Is it enough space? In my opinion, a curve shape is not suited for the mosque design. it caused waste of space.It is an odd and complicated form.

the lecture w...haha...ur the 2nd person to ask me.<br /><br />the lecture was designed to encapsulate thots that came up on engaging with our current 1st Yr project involving the design of an armature to contain and measure styrofoam of various shapes.<br /><br />A fascinating project, very hands on, with the making of bass wood modules that went to make up base units for constructing the operable armature.<br /><br />Outcomes of the learning process would ideally have been the understanding of how to scale the module to respond in an 'integer' fashion and to demonstrate dexterity of design so that the module was 'infinitely adaptable' in all directions to pick up the salient characteristics of the form or the foam. It was a neat exercise in modularity and the identifying of frames of reference for design.<br /><br />The purpose of the lecture was to illustrate my own reflections on the pedagogy of the project and its relevance in generating skillful thinking that the students can each take into their separate future practice. Hence 'a' future, rather than 'the' future.<br /><br />And all that has now led to the present project on descriptive geometry which will be presented tomorrow. Am looking forward to it.<br /><br />Hope your thesis is going well. Any future for it? lolSunpicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791802869605090657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31641099.post-58963751070591214772012-05-14T20:45:24.081+08:002012-05-14T20:45:24.081+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sunpicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791802869605090657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31641099.post-84651261418892263182012-05-07T12:16:16.447+08:002012-05-07T12:16:16.447+08:00what kind of future? :pwhat kind of future? :pBentuckeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105960390219803279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31641099.post-2467312023255153392010-12-08T04:16:54.718+08:002010-12-08T04:16:54.718+08:00thats pretty interesting mate,

It looks more decorative to me but this is subjective..

Initially it was a tricky thing because 600sqm hardly fits mosque scale(unless you chuck some of it outdoors) and we'd have chapels, kuils, and suraus. But we're not making excuses.<br />So we had this discussion about how Klang was already this religious zone with two mosques, a dozen churches, couple of temples and kuils and hardly needed any more. Yea, that was making excuses. With two massive mosques within 5 mins driving distance, the surau within walking distance becomes complementary instead of competition...ary. My point is,I get to focus on the 5times a day prayer for a govt. complex plus a school within walking distance. And let the men truck down to the bigger onions on Fridays because their time is structured that way. <br /><br />So speaking of time, the model became the caricature of a transit node. Daily prayers don't take that long but they are much more important than Friday because of the way Islam is supposed to structure daily life. So yes, in out in out in out in out in out. No importance to the minbar/pulpit. Prayer times coincide with meal times and going home times so they can sit around and chat in the cafe with their brothers (and sistas). <br />I guess I am hoping the brief makes it more Islamic in the back to basics sort of way. Um, yes. Transitory.<br /><br /><br />Actual montages as in people with faces. Sure, there are teachers who teach at the nearby convent school, Woman in a sari from the nearby Catholic church, Fat guy we saw lounging around the Govt. complex, various pedestrians. They're in there. Except the school children. It looks a little creepy to follow them around with a camera. But it feels a lot creepier to google 'Malaysian school girls'. (Turn safesearch on)<br /><br />Roof originally green. Felt like a good place to tee off, so nope. <br /><br />and "transitioning between openness, semi-openness, enclosure." if i can quote. Its a simple way to show hierarchy with the gradient scaling of the diagrid - and the filigree scales in gradient to subdue space. <br /><br />Its a straight line if that helps orientate. <br /> <br />Sorry for the somewhat recursive explanation. I hope it links.ocaenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026880347972567825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31641099.post-60669798657020344112010-06-13T18:33:55.840+08:002010-06-13T18:33:55.840+08:00incredible craft, for sure. and you have a fine se...incredible craft, for sure. and you have a fine sense in dealing with the landscape. but it feels a bit like "another formal experimentation of hadid's"<br />like ian said - worship spaces tend to be static - or I'd say hierarchy, which your architecture really lacks.<br />There is dynamism in form, but no dynamism in space - the scales don't change, they all seem equal, suggesting movement in constant speed - simply walk through. Unsure of where it starts, and it ends a lil awkwardly.<br />It's probably because you didn't provide a plan which you should be providing. Otherwise it's difficult to grasp the lengths and widths of an 'odd'-shaped space.<br /><br />aaL. can you enlighten me/us with the content of the discussion about montage you mentioned?KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01309595742529585990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31641099.post-84509492661952605402010-06-13T01:22:16.435+08:002010-06-13T01:22:16.435+08:00Strangely I was having this conversation with a fr...Strangely I was having this conversation with a friend too, debating if u should have used actual montages or would have basic silhouettes serve the scheme better.
