What Is Your Sign? In Arch 101, we started the class by making three collages, that can gave us a lot of ideas when we started to build the sign. I got inspired a lot by the sign pictures that the professor showed us in the class, after that I got many ideas on the collages and also the sign.
After choosing three collages that fits our personality Which explain us in 3 words we were headed to Search of the signs, clips arts and anything that would Lead us to create the collage. Soon we will start building The actual sign.
Other  Collages
Sign I In the first sign that I build, I used foam board and pencil for all of my materials. It is a shape of a piggy bank with a no sign on a light ball. My idea on this sight is to save money from saving lighting. After the class discussion, I realize that the idea that I wan to said it is not so clear. Because of my drawing and also my design. Next time, I will shown a clearer image to make improvements on my sign.
Sign II On the second sign of my design, I got an idea of from my first design, and I build this new sign with the materials including foam board and pencil. In this design, I continue my idea from last sign, instead of drawing a light ball, I draw a over of the light and the dollar sign below is the light ball. I want to give people an idea of when people using light, is wasting money, and polluting the environment, what they can do is use light balls like LED instead to save little by little.
A Journey of Discovery to Local Places of Wonder In this project, I decided to visit the wellness center in CCSF. I never got a chance to visit this building in this school before, so I was very excited about it. The day I visited is a cloudy day, and I came to the building from it’s 2nd floor, the first side this building gave me was very bright, because the exterior of the building was all make by grass, so I believe the inside should have a lot of lighting. This building is new in CCSF, and I got inspire from this building a lot in this trip.
Collages of the Journey
Make a Wall, Make a Window, Evoke Wonder Reflection: Before I build this wall, I chose triangle to be the main shape of my wall, because triangle is the strongest pattern. I want my wall to be strong, but not too chilled. After the class discussion, I realized it I should always ask my myself what I want people to feel through this design, and I should always ask myself why I design it.
Wall Model Second Iteration
Reflections: In my second wall model, I cut out some window for people to have more lighting, and I also designed two pieces of triangle in a specific angel, so people can lay down on it.
Third Iteration of the Wall Reflections: In this one, I brought in a new idea of the wall, I used green color on the bottom and window with lot of holes to create very peaceful sight to people.
Narrative:
st 1
Draft
Most significant aspects and qualities of my design would be the shape of the structure. The shapes of the design makes it outstanding and beautiful. When people first look at my design they will curios about the bold color I used, and the different shape I used. But all of them has a connection. In my design I can separated into three parts, in the first part, rhythm and repetition is very outstanding. For the second part of my design, I used regular repetition to cut the wall into rectangular shape, they are all equal and same. The third part, I used different high of vertical rectangle in the color of green to make it like grassers. I think the most relax thing to do is to down on the prairie, breathing the freshness of the grass and look at the stars.
Reflection: From the last model, I got an idea of the floor, the walls and and the roof of this model, I used the asymmetric idea concept that I learn from last class to created this new model.
Make a Place That Evokes Wonder Reflection: This is my final model, I build this one base on my last model. I used the concept of asymmetric and repetition to create this model.

Draft
Most significant aspects and qualities of my design would be the shape of the structure and my experiences from the last models. In this design, I want to create a relaxation design, so people in the urban cities, which is very crowed and busy to slow and take a rest. In this design, I used a lot of triangle shape, because the wing of an air plane is triangle. I think when people look out from the window of an airplane would feel very relax and also freedom. For the entrance, I create a large opening space for people to walk in, and the shape reflected on the floor was amazing, so when people walk in, it will gives them a lot of excitement. On the other side, I created very crowdedly, it is stand for the urban city, also there are stairs that people can walk on top of the long hallway on the side. When people look out from the world, I want people to see different views, but in the same building. I want people to understand that they can experience differently even in the same situation, so do not say you have no break time for yourself again.
