THEME OF THE SEMESTER
‘’Throughout the semester, we will address topics and issues of our
human condition such as the notions of self, site and place; and
issues of movement, interactions, perception, and memory as
these and other aspects inform and evoke our spatial
experiences. ‘’
BY:JERRY W.LUM
ICE BREAKER
‘’from words to form as an abstract personification of you Consider
this algorithm to carefully craft a phrase that hierarchically best
describes your personal qualities ‘’
Primary: Brightly Evolve
Secondary: Incessantly Adventurous
Tertiary: Artistically Learn
RESEARCH
For my first three Ice Breaker Iterations, I tried to express the form of
flower. For instance, the shape, how they evolve. I tried to use
paper to create the shape because I think paper is the easies
way to represent the shape of flower. (Sunflower)
#1.ICE BREAKER
‘’This is my first iteration in arch 101.’’
STRENGTH: I tried to use a paper to
create a shape of the flowers.
Weaknesses: It’s too simple and it
cannot completely represent the
strength, and it couldn’t create the
shape of the flower.
#2.ICE BREAKER
STRENGTS:
I tried to use paper to create a curve
shape and I used 3 parts to represent
the three personal qualities, such as
Brightly Evolve, Incessantly
Adventurous, and Artistically Learn. It
had three difference ratio to represent
the primary part, secondary part and
tertiary part.
Improvement-I tried to use the cone shape
and curvilinear element in the second model.
#2.ICE BREAKER
WEAKNESSIS:
It’s too simple and not attractive enough.
It’s only have one visual point( Top view only).
And I noticed that its only has one element, so I
don’t have enough design language on this
model.
#3.ICE BREAKER
STRENGTH:
I tried to use two difference colors of
paper(Blue and yellow) to create a contrast.
I cut the yellow color paper to a stripe to
create a woven pattern. It would be more
attractive , because it could see space
within space. And I had successfully
created it.
WEAKNESSIS: Since by keeping the
same material, paper, it is not strong
enough and it couldn’t maintain the
shape.
EDMOND LEUNG KA HEI NARRATIVE
When people walk around my design looking at different perspective,
they could sense that there are different feelings in different areas and
the structure are changing since they are walking all the way till the
end of my model. I had used different design languages and elements
to try to express my personal qualities, such as sectioning, reputation
and rhythm. In the sketch up model that I had made, I am trying to fully
express my qualities by using different design language. When people
first looking at my model, they will be attracted by the center circle and
shadow of the model. When you look inside from the circle, you will
find some distinguishing features, such as a gradual change on the
circle. It may represent my infinite of possibility.
‘’This was my first time using Google Sketchup.’’ #4.Kit of parts
STRENGTH: Since it was my
first time using Google
Sketchup, I felt so difficult.
However, after I learned some
basic skills, I tried to create a
surface that form by different
shape.
WEAKNESSIS: It’s too simple
#5. KIT OF PARTS
Improvement form #3:
I tried to use more difference
tools to improve the model. I
was thinking about how can I
create a model that could be
more visualize.
#6.MODEL OF KIT OF PARTS
STRENGTH: I tried to create a
physical model of my kit of parts
sketch up. By using sectioning
approach, I used two circle to
balance the model.
Improvement: I would like to change
the location where the circle are now
located. (one should be on the higher
section and another should be locate
on the lower level.)

Triangle 3 10 5 0
#7.VISUAL MATRIX
By using Google Sketch up, I had
successfully created 16 different
matrixes. Each matrix had their own
characteristic. During the process, I
learned how to use different shape to
create spaces. For example, open space,
enclose space, and space within space.
TECTONIC JOURNEY RESEARCH In this tectonic journey project, I had done a lot of research, for example Jean
Nouvel and Kengo Kuma & Associates . Personally I think the most inspiring
architecture design is the Beijing National Stadium (Bird’s nest). The Bird nest
was designed for use throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics. And it was made
by steel ,the form of the stadium looks like a big nest which embraces and
nurses human beings. It also related and applied the sense of Biomimetic
Architecture .
#8. TECTONIC JOURNEY MODEL
Strength: I tried to create a sunshine roof which is located on the
terrace. And I used 3 difference altitude to show the function of
the shied on difference landscape. I used wood to crafted the
frame and I used the thin wood to curve the pattern on the
surface of the shied.
Weaknesses: No Weaknesses!
That’s the one I like the most and I
successfully combine two difference
material into one. By using wood to
form the shape, I noticed that
curving the wood wasn’t easy. I have
to used different way to make the
wood easier to curve, such as
dipping them into water for a period
of time.
REFLECTION AND LEARNING OUTCOME
From the very first day to now, I was struggling at the beginning, because this
is my first semester and I’m not sure what a design studio class is like.
Gaining the experience by making each model, finally I discovered what I
should create and find my personal style on design.
In our class, there a lot of students who has lots of experience on architecture
design, I was deeply appreciated by their works. And I started to learn from
them and ask questions about the way to create a model which have rich
design language.
Improvement: I should learn more tectonic language to express my own ideas
and the presentation skills. As a architect, learning time management is
important too.
