Life In ArchitectureSo, many people have been asking me, how's architecture? Is it fun? Must be laaa since everyday draw onli. Sigh, unfortunately architecture aint just about drawing, and to make things clear to u guys out there - here's a breakdown of the subjects i am currently taking.
Architectural Design :
This is probably the most fundamental part of the course (supposedly). However, my first assignment is a weird one. To design a costume that exagurates body movements (wtf?). "The costume and movement must (re)aware us of something strange, unfamiliar and unanticipated about something we are most familiar about: our body". Gawdd that sounds more like a freakin literature question. In the end i made cyclop-like glasses...... after hours of head cracking. And i still don't get how this relates to architecture. Upcoming assignments sounds a lil more interesting : constructing a maze and a disco toilet (dance + crap = kewl).
Design Communication :
Basically this subject is to help and teach us to express our ideas into drawings or models or wateva. So far this is all about drawing practices and lots of emphasis is made on light, shadow and texture. Not a friendly change for me since im so customed to drawing cute, round, cartoonish thingies. Not very fun as we usually are forced to sit outside in the cold skecthing for 3 hours straight. Still, this is the best subject so far in my opinion =)
Construction Technology :
Physics. Just that we learn onli building-related stuff. Sleeping lecture more like it. Not to mention the lecturer is old and draggy.
City in HISTORY :
Refer to the word with caps. Clear enough? H-I-S-T-O-R-Y
In conclusion, architecture is just SO-SO for now. Havent felt any excitement in any of the subjects but thats probably cause its only 2-3 weeks into the course. Plus, it is a real dramatic change from writing and calculating to drawing and model making. I havent done any written stuff so far. It's just....different. Hope things turn out better soon.
