Introduction

1.)What i learned from this thoeries class.

From the pass few months, we had learned a lot of knowledge which was very different from design clas. The 1st class for our thoeries class was watching movie. How cool was that. Our movie was Minority Report, starring by Tom Cruise. From the movie, it inspire our creativity to open our mind of the deisng of future building. After that we had learn 5 theories, which is the 1st theory is Concept of place. But the explaination was gave us after we post the blog. So whatever we post on blog was what we understand from the articles that lecturer gave. The second theory was Heidegger Thinking. It was the hardest article in my life....so far....The articles can't erally understand but wiht the help of google and friends, finally i still manage to come out a short blog to critic the article. The third theory was Mies house which inspired Mies. And fron the mid term assignment, i had learn more about this articles. The fourth theory was the monument, memory. From the photo, i can't imagine how the new jewish museum link to the old musuem and also the monument. But the design concept and space planning of the building was show the explaination. It really show the design which combine with the concept and idea. It is some kind like abstract concept and explaination for the design. The fifth theory was teh 7 sense. From our common sense, we only know 5 sense which is see, hear, smell, taste and touch. There are other 2 sense which is skeleton and feeling. This make architect more sensitive to the materials and environment. Ater that we had a site visit to Kellie's Castle, we go to get inspire and feel the environment. And from there , we can feel that 7 sense and with the good or bad of the castle, we can know that which part of the building inspired people and learn from it. There is another blog we need to post was regarding the article about the sexuallity of the building. It not mention about how sexy the building was but how to make the building more attractive. How to attract people to go inside the building? We can know it from the articles. All the article we read we have to write a critic blog.


2.) What i had learned.

I had learn a lof to theories ( cause 5 theories lecturer told.) From the concept of space and place. We know about how to space planning and wiht the good space planning, how the building can last longer and become landmark. And we learned about how to respond the site to the surrounding and also connect the site context of the surrounding. The heidegger thinking for what i learn is , we should design a building which has to blend with surrounding. A building is not just a dwelling, it also is a space for connection of human and God, human and environment.
The Mies house, we can learn the lesson and also the spirit of Mies. We should brave to try new thing and try hard to think out of the box so that we can learn or create a new thing.
The monument of memory not just a building or sculpture that as memory of the past people but also can be a space that commemorate something but also telling the history in this building by visit this building. It can not just using the building form to represent but also with the space planning, materials chosen and also the view.
The 7 sense that we learn it really teach us how to feel a good building design. It is very hard to feel other building which are not design by us but with the sense of this 7, we can feel the design with our own language and it can become part of our design and also it can giving us a inspiration . Learn from other people and absorb it and become our knowlege.

3.) Best and Worst moment.

The best moment will be when you read the article, and you really understand what its talking about. It was very hard to understand the whole articles. When you read the articles and you finally summarize it can come out with your own understanding, that moment will be the best moment. When lectueres explain the theories and you find out it match with what you undestand by your own you will feel the happiness.

And the other best moment will be visit the Kellie's castle. Finally can go out from the enclose space and feel the real building.

Of couse, when you don't understand the whole theories it will become the worst moment. When i learn about the Heidegger thinking, i don't even understand the 1st page. It was really drive me crazy. Luckily my friend was learning is english education and she tried to help me read the articles as she was graduate from Tasmania Architecture course, finally she sumarize it and explain to me what the Heidegger talking about. Then i manage to come out a short critic.

4.) What is my philosophy

My philosophy is design should be simple. Design should combined with art. - Design is in everything we make, but it's also between those things, It's a mix of craft, science, storytelling, propaganda, and philosophy. - Art is process or product of deliberatly arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. Art should combined with creativitiy- creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun. Creativity is a stae of mind, a choice to look at every angle- not just the expected ones. It is the act of making something new- and thinking outside of the box ( in fact, why have the box at all?) Creativity should combines with the building sustainable - No matterh how your design have the creativity, special but everthing must be sustainable. If you want your building last longer and become a well known building, try your best be sustainable. Then your building might can last until the end of the day.
