Currently i still got another 2 elevations and the sections and roof wall floor section and details to go. i think i should be able to finish my elevations in time but not the sections. Because till now my body is still not feeling ok... After i draw for a while, i started to get headache and my both my hands keep shaking. This really troubling me for not able to finish my work in time... Now i really duno what i should do. And i'll be taking bus to go KL in a short while... Now i really lost...

Troubled...

Hi Ian, i would like to clarify something regarding the drawings submission on 30 Oct 06 (Monday)
We are supposed to draw:

1 floor plan (1:100 or 1:150)
1 roof plan (size is up to us, as long as it can be fitted into the same sheet of paper with the floor plan)
4 elevations and 2 sections (follow the scale of the floor plan)
1 construction drawing (1:20)
1 detail drawing (1:10 or 1:20)

besides, these 10 drawings... are we supposed to arrange them according to the way we wanted to present them on the D-Day (exp. leave spaces for the photos, squeeze in some elevations and roof plan together with the floor plan) OR hand them in as just plain drawings (exp. floor plan 1 sheet, elevations 1 sheet, etc...)

P.S. 10Q so much Ian for guiding us step by step to this very final stage, till the completion of our master piece... really greatful to have you by our side... and once again, we Thank You, Xie Xie Ni, Dor Cheh Lei, Terima Kasih...*UR THE MAN c(^^;)b

for ian

Ian, on behalf of the class, i'd like to thank you for all you have done, for guiding us through this and for sharing your experiences and knowledge. i can only imagine all the shit you've been putting up with us, showing you our 'great' designs, (as speaking from experience :p). but thanks for being so patient and for being such a great tutor :) I'm sure we all had a great sem having you.

And next time you're on a tv programme, do tell us so we know when to expect ian in action again. haha!
and guys, have fun building the model! yes, dont forget to have FUN! :)


Have a good time in Beijing, Ian!

xiaoYing's Revolution


















hi, ian. here is my plan after revolution.hope that u can give me some advice so tat i can get my PEACE as soon as possible.

i use a lot of big windows, but no window is facing another building. it face the trees and the small garden. two classroom share one toilet i think is enought for them.below i got some amendment of my plan bcos i think that i should make the whole building in one, so i choose to make the whole related building bcome one organic form.



















this is the draft plan i had made some small changes.do you think that this is better? wat else i can do or do i hav to stick to the first plan i made? well, looking forward your crit on it.

Model submission

Msg from Ms Kwok: All students to take note and follow accordingly.

On 3rd November all students must submit (i.e. show to the receiving tutor) their presentation model with AT LEAST the building (floor, wall, roof) done. They should then take the model back home to complete the details, landscape, touching up, etc.

They are to bring the FULLY FINISHED MODEL along with their presntation drawings on 22 Nov to pin up and display.

Msg from Ian to Ian's group: Guys do a good model! I know most of you are drawing presentation drawings for a medium sized building for the first time in your whole short life, so it may be a try-out, in the best sense. Your model, though, will in one Zzzap! tell your whole story like no drawing can!

Use as few different materials as possible--go for space and volume and form and DON'T try to make a miniature doll house with "real" things. (Kenneth, clear perspex is better than green perspex.) Soft, "greyed down" colours are better than bright primary colours. Remember the colour of the site base, and blend in.

I'm still here till 28th Oct; and maybe, just maybe, I can go to a cybercafe in Beijing after that. Unless it's so cold my fingers freeze up!

ALL of you have plans that work--so go for it!

Shiao Yin, your revolution looked ok. Just use your roof to group together some of your blocks, join them with links and you should pull through. Not too many different roofs, just a few, all speaking the same language. And don't forget nice covered walkways and terraces.

Jufri, simple forms please! Don't make your life too complicated. (The fewer different types of forms the better. One form is sometimes the best, though not always.)

Gerald, you have to make the best model in your life! And finish all the drawings, too.

Others whose names I didn't mention should be chugging happily along.
