Model-It workshop
Before this workshop, I have absolutely no experience in model making. It was very hard for me as in how to start or where to start on modeling a building. However, throughout this workshop, I have learned how to make the process of model making to be more efficient. Before I started modeling, I started to work out all the parts with specific dimensions that need to be cut, the joint in each parts, the base, the spacing and also which part should be model first so that it doesn't obstruct any space later on when modeling the rest of the parts. All this method has speed up my modeling process and I found it to be very important because as an arhictecture student we need to make a model of our design most of time to help us experiment our design.
Draw-It workshop
I have some drawing experience prior to this workshop but most of them are poster drawing and colouring, nothing on architectural drawing representation. In this workshop, I realized that it was totally a different level of requirement and style in architectural drawing and rendering compare to my previous learning. It was a huge jump from normal casual drawing that it focuses alot more on drawing accuracy and technique. The hardest part I found was to learn how to control the strength of the hand when drawing and maintain its consistancy. Throughout this workshop, I had discover and explore many different styles of rendering.
Montage-It workshop
This workshop requires great amount of photoshop skills. I have used photoshop for quite some time before this workshop but wasn't actually farmiliar with the layers which are the most essential and importatnt aspect in photoshop. Throughout this workshop, I have discover a lot of new photoshop techniques that I never tried before, especially making great effect just by using layers. This workshop had push and refine my photoshop skill even further which I think is very useful because these skill will come in handy in my future design presentation.

ARCH1142 Montage It - Task 1
Inspirations:
Through this massive sculpture by Eduardo Chilida, he wants to convey the idea of removing space to order to create space. He did this by actually carving out a portion of rock from the Mount Tindaya and let the light shoots into through the openings on top and thus forming a space inside defined by light itself. Besides, Eduardo also wants to play around with negative and positive space, the negative space being the space that's was being cut out(subtracted equals negative) from the mountain (positive space), however as soon the space is being subtracted, it becomes a positive space, a space that can be use by people, a space that gets light, it has gained a positive value!
In Gordon Matta-Clark's work however, portrays a different message but through the same method, destroying things to create new things! The act of these destruction was mainly to express dissatisfaction and also testifying the failed social and architectural policies of 1970s New York. Somehow, what he destroyed actually create a new form of spatial experience. Internal parts of buildings are no longer remain hidden from the beholders, no more deception of space and the true colour of a building is revealed like how he wanted to reveal the truth of a deteriorating society.
The most famous work by him, "Splitting", evokes the message of the disintegration of the American family.
After considering the ideas from these 2 artists, I took the common approach by them which is the idea of destroying a space to create a space into designing my concept model. I was wondering what if I were to hammered out part of a wall, what will happen? Do I get a damaged wall or do I obtain a space in between the wall? The answer is latter.
Cutting through the wall defining space in between them.
Playing around with idea of a full space(stair wall) and hollow space(observation deck).
When the skin of wall is remove, it reveals the steelworks(represented by wire) inside the masonry. The metal works thus become balustrade and prevent people from falling over. What was being destroyed, reveals a potential new usage.
Photo montage:
The site is sets in the area around of Railway Square in Sydney. I choose this site to cohere with the idea of splitting by Gordon, but in a different way. This area has a lot of intersection between the streets, cars and pedestrians came from different streets and arrived at this same intersection before splitting up each to their own destination. Through this, I wanted to bring out the message of although we came from different places, going for different aims, we are chasing the same thing, our dream.
