LECTURE

by Greg Missingham

REFLECTION Developing design ideas, This lecture is relevant enough to my current studio because I am stuck. The feedback that I get is, not that constructive (it isn’t a criticsm, but saying I am on the right track.) For me, that is not enough. How to use previous exercises to start developing my concept? It’s overwhelming.

The lectures in Earth is giving to many ideas, which isn’t good. I need to eliminate things. morphing the ideas? Or start to consider things using the scale of consideration? Or use SCAMPER? Can’t think.

I come back to UHÁHFW RQ WKH above passages.

Okay, in previous PLP/MASS/F&I exercises, I am more interested in MASS. In MASS, I explore subtraction, and rotation. And now, I am going tosubtract the earth, How am I going to do it?

In what way? Use the lists above to answer the TXHVWLRQ WKHQ ÀQG WKH IRUP ODWHU +RZ" /DWHU -----------------------------------------------------------------------I notice that, again, when I am stuck, I will FRQVLGHU WKH VLWH FRQWH[W ÀUVW , ZLOO ORRN DW KRZ people use the space, what they feel/see/etc.

I know that I can get into miserable state if I am stuck. Either I will let go and visit it later, or try to organise it. And, this time, the ‘aaah’ moment is midnight when I woke up from sleep. It’s sudden.

And, it’s true, sometimes, I don;t need to think to get the answer. I t will justify itself. Maybe I should not think so hard next time. Or, maybe I can use the strategies in the lecture to slowly further my design process.

REFLECTION FAST diagram helps me to justify a part of elements and ideas to explore in developing earth project.

Left side is the reasoning, while right side is the brief.

Vertical is what should I consider when designing of a particulat area. This diagram is helpful to show the overall process of how am I going to reason with each design decision that I made. For future refernce, I might or might not use this technique to assist me in evaluating my design. On second thought, this can be another type of checklists that I can use for verbal presentation. It’s similar to mind map, it just have structure to it.

WORKSHOP

ACTIVITY 1: RUBRIC FOR DESIGN STUDIO REFLECTION I think this exercise is answering how tutors are assessing us. There are lots of consideration. I will never look at the assignment rubrics the same again. When I told my friend, Zaza (she’s studying at Bartlett), she aggreed with me that what am I learning in this subject will help students/designers to think properly. She complaint that in her school, there is no subject equivalent to design workshop.

Maybe her school expect the students to learn/know this formal design process by themselves? Not only using instinct and intuition. Designing is a logical and rational process but I never see it that way. And to evaluate yourself, it is a good thing to do. Evaluating my own project and compare my evaluation with feedbacks from other people will show me, how to do think. Am I think too highly of my project, or am I degrading my project. Anyway, I need to practice this self-evaluation so that I can make better decision later in design develiopment.

Might because previously we presented the archiological pavillion, related to history. Hence, history+UK = Queen Elizabeth’s ruff. (I know it’s not logical. Anyway, Presenting a pavillion just need 2 minutes? I agree, there actually, not many things to say about a pavillion except; why is it there, what are the concept, how to get the form, materiality, references/precedent, what do people do there.

REFLECTION When looking for precedents for Earth studio, or any studio, things that I look for will suit what my goal in the design process. For example: • The form/shape • WHFKQLTXH XVHG WR DUULYH DW ÀQDO GHVLJQ • materiality • how will people experience the building ,I DQ\ EXLOGLQJV IXOÀOO RQH RI WKH FKDUDFWHULVWLFV , will read one or two articles about the building to evaluate the usefulness of the building and is it accommodating my goals. Then, take note and continue developing the design.

LECTURE

by Greg Missingham

REFLECTION I am anticipating to know what is this lecture is about.

Assessing the students. I am the student.

Decision matrices used in architecture school?

It is easily manipulated; change the criteria, scoring method and mark weightage. And Greg commented that this is a good system? Hm. Yes - we VWXGHQWV JHW EHQLÀWV IURP LW " (DV\ IRU WKH HYDOXDWRU to tweak the percentage according to overall performance of the students..? Oh, i don’t know. It’s just a speculation.

Another thing is, why we can’t get 100% in our projects? Does anyone desrve to get 100%? In my opinion, it is possible to get 100%, as it depands on the criteria and weightage. But, they don’t really deserve it in a sense that we cannot evaluate everything about a project. It is a bit too much.

Maybe that’s why in Earth studio, there are only 5 criteria maximum, while in DDF, there is only 4 criteria.

I agree with both subjects; considering the amount of knowledge that the student already have and what they are going to learn.

REFLECTION , DP LQ FRQÁLFW HLWKHU WR GHVLJQ D SDYLOOLRQ ZLWK ÁDW surfaces or a curved form. Because I keep on thinking of using Rhinocerous to explore the possible forms for my pavillion. At the same time, I am thinking how will I built the physical model. What material I am going to use. Am I going to use laser cutter or plaster? Laser cutter will take time more on the digital development. Hence, I need to make the model now, and send to fab lab as fast as I can before the queue getting long.

HOMEWORK Collect three different critics’ pieces on your favourite building. How do you describe what they are doing in each piece? What rhetorical tropes are in evidence? Whose interests are being served in each case?

Antilla Residential Tower (Mumbai, India) •

The 9 Most controversial building of all time - Archdaily

http://www.archdaily.com/573271/the-9-most-controversial-buildings-of-all-time

•

Built adjacent to Golibar slum in central Mumbai, this 27-storey tower is home to a single family and currently holds the title of the world’s most expensive private residence The project has received widespread disapproval from the residents of Mumbai who argue the tower is insensitive and excessive

The critic is pointing out the huge socioeconomic inequality in India. I do agree with the crits. It is insensitive.

There is a lot that the money to build that house can do for the people. Actually, why does the building need to be build there?

Why not somewhere more ÀWWLQJ WR WKDW KRXVH" , GRQ·W even see that building as D KRXVH LW·V OLNH DQ RIÀFH or at least, an apartment.

I think I am think8ing like the crits, emotional and judgemental. Focusing on WKH VRFLDO EHQHÀWV WKDW FDQ be imporoved and need to improve.

I did not know that people at that time did not like Eiffel tower. It’s funny seeing that ‘the street lamp’ is the icon of France and has been attracting tourists, a revenue for their country. It is used in many media to potray France and studied in architecture history and construction.

This shows how we can accuse a building as a bad building and shows how little do we know what that ¶EDG· EXLOGLQJ FDQ EHQHÀW us in some way. Better for me to not judge a design based on appearance only. Aesthetic is not as important than how can WKH GHVLJQ EHQHÀWV XV

Sagrada Familia (Barcelona, Spain) •

the world’s longest running construction project, now in its 132nd year – funded completely by private donations to the tune of €25M ($31.3M USD) annually.

Beginning in the 1960s, QXPHURXV SUROLÀF architects including Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto launched unsuccessful campaigns to modernize Gaudi’s designs, suggesting his work had become dated and irrelevant.

I would love to be inside the temple. It’s very interesting to see that this building can teach us about 200years of architecture (method,design,style). I have no comment on the cost of construction or the appearance or anything.

Well, in previous years, I do thought that this building is hideous (sorry, still naive that time). After learning about architecture history last year, I become more appreciative to buildings around me even though I still don’t like it.

WORKSHOP

ACTIVITY 1: DESIGN YOUR OWN FIRM WHAT DO WE DO? • GHFLGH ÀUP SHUVRQDOLW\ DQG PDQLIHVWR • name and design logo.

• make a decision tree for project brief • draw plan, sections, elevation • create rubric for our design • presenting the design • other groups evaluate our works

REFLECTION :K\ 6$1'3$3(5" %HFDXVH ZH ZDQWHG D QDPH ÀW with our manifesto and personality. The logo and name card also is made of sandpaper, to show our [diverse] craftmanship. These name and personality DUH LQÁXHQFLQJ WKH GHFLVLRQ WUHH ODWHU DQG ZKDW RXU ÀUP ORRN OLNH ,Q WKH IXWXUH ZKHQ , KDYH P\ RZQ ÀUP with my partners, we need to have similarities so that we can work together. And, having different set of skills will compliment each other. Toleration, cooperation and responsible are values that I think important for teamwork.

Decision tree and the brief are the thing that we refer to when we are designing. The brief is not FRPSUHKHQVLYH KHQFH ZH ORRN XS DW WKH ÀUP personality. This levels of thinking/writing/making decision are helpful for us to have a guide on what we are doing. Similar to the frame of reference and architectural design canvas (module b, module a) For the drawing exercise, I notice some of us are GUDZLQJ WKH SODQ ÀUVW WKH RWKHUV DUH GUDZLQJ VHFWLRQV This might be because the plan-drawer tends to think generally forst, what is the overall picture. While, the section-drawer work from small scale to a bigger one.

2U LV LW LQÁXHQFHG E\ KRZ WKH\ ZHUH WDXJKW KRZ WR start designing a buillding? I think there is, but as we grow up, we will have different preferences and our style of thinking and making will change. Plus, the advancement of technology. It changes everything.

How awesome is that? Go human being!

Lastly, the evaluation. It’s funny to see that we did not want to give other people full marks. Either it is us or the othe group. First, we make the assessment rubric ourselves, hence, we will put the best percentage of marks to what we think as the best. It is so unfair, dont you think? Yes and no. There are rationality behind it, DV ZH ZLOO ORRN EDFN DW WKH SHUVRQDOLW\ ÀUP GHFLVLRQ tree and brief. That’s what our group aggreed upon.

And, that’s where we want people to assess us with.

ACTIVITY 2: STOKEHOUSE REDEVELOPMENT Pretending to be a judge for a propesional competition is like imagining what am I going to be RQFH , EHFRPH D UHQRXQFHG DUFKLWHFW +DKD , ÀQG that this exercise is good for me to learn; • how to lay out the poster • what to put in the poster • how does these projects meeting the criteria • evaluating the poster/project Maybe later I will understand the technical part. For now, I can learn how well I am evaluating design projects by comparing my evaluation with the judges or anyone else.

Is it effective what am I doing?

Inspiration This is the result from 4 days workshop for students to learning parametric software. It is good. Simple in fact. The form, material and digital process is easy to understand. Compared to our progress in DDF, it’s different. Maybe because we just started learning digital craftmanship for a year. By 4 or 5 years later, we will be ble to do things like this, maybe still need to develop softskills and gain more experience.

Anyway, this project inspire our DDF design. It is our turning point. And it works! It help to make sense in our design development. Having a precedent (lead by student/small scale/not by established famous DUFKLWHFWXUDO ÀUPV DUH VWLPXODWLQJ RXU ZD\ RI WKLQNLQJ because we are learning the basics. Sometimes, when you look at bigger projects, we do not see their individual techniques that they use in designing. It’s easier to evaluate and analyse small projects.

Datelines to the ÀQDO $ FKHFNOLVW $ designer is working to with time, hence making sure we are on track is essential to our design process

Checklists and notes to make sure each of us know what is going on.

Things that are working, or not working. I need to start be more systematic with these checklists and tables.

Storyboard for our video and photo shooting.

The lecture about architecture really helps in this recording and presenting our second model.

Need to watch more movies this holiday.

The draft layout for my DDF journal.

The only thing that I didnot put is the date. Having a template for journal and boards making me to do jobs faster.

However, I am at the stage where I want to try different technique one at a time. There’s a lot to explore. By doing this, I learn to know what is right and what need to be changed.

REFLECTION Evaluating this after the presentation.

We done quite bad in previous module, hence there’s a lot that we learn from the mistakes we done, and in this module, we really push ourselve to produce the best second skin that we can. I know that we can do EHWWHU IRU WKH ÀQDO VHFRQG VNQ KHQFH , RQO\ SXW XV LQ H. It’s all about time contraint. And the groupwork is easy. All three of us has good communication between us, and everyone is volunteering to do this and that job. We are covering each other’s back.

And they are my good architecture buddy now!

When I compared my evaluation with our tutors, (only on fabrication, prototype and journal) somehow it is the same. Really am happy with this. Let’s work on to the next presentation!

REFLECTION 7KLV LV WKH WRSLF WKDW , ÀQG PRVW EHQLÀFLDO WR PH +RZ to sell your ideas. It doesn’t matter if you do the best design in the world, but if you cannot explain and persuade others to buy your idea, it’s really sad. Why sad? Because it’s not fun. It’s not exciting at all to not being recognized for what had I done. Afterall, we do like rewards and praises don’t we?

As a designer, being able to defend my designs is like protecting my value.

SITE PLAN

This homework do helps me in preparing for Earth presentation. I started to do think about the board during my conceptacle development, 3 weeks before the presentation day. Knowing what to put in the board helps me to eliminate unnecessary elements and ease my design development. That is because I know what am I doing, and I can focus on developing parts of my design that I think the most rewarding.

REFLECTION It went great. My presentation board attract viewers because I use different style and vibrant colours.

The C3 lecture is assisting me how to start with talking DERXW ZKDW GR , ÀQG LQWHUHVWLQJ DQG H[SODLQ KRZ it relates to my concepts. Narrating from the point of being a user(how we use the space) engage the audience more rather than talking about the design process. And keep using positive words and just talk about the good stuff really works. Haha. Two most important points are: explaining my project to others and preparing the text. I will try to never fail doing this for any presentation. Just be prepared and HYHU\WKLQJ ZLOO EH ÀQH However, the presentation is a bit lacking in physical model. The model did not really show the aesthetic of what am I saying and presenting. The feedback is, my visual and verbal parts are more poetic, but the model is not that poetic. I tried, but laser cutting is not that suitable. Maybe next time, maybe use clay, plaster, concrete or wax for the model. Hence, there is harmony in visual, verbal, and physical presentation to sell my ideas.

ACTIVITY 1: REDESIGN THINGS THAT YOU HATE REFLECTION How do I evaluate MSD? Most probably the convinece. I have no disagreement on anything that is good, or what the building suppose to look like, or what it’s function. The experience and material also is good enough. However, the space. The use of space. We need more space. It is understandable to have that big atrium, but there is a lot of unused spaces also.

Anyway, to change something that we don’t like might make things worse. We might be the only one ewho do not like it. It’s subjective, unless I can make decision/evaluate from an objective perspective.

That’s why we need rubrics, guidelines, standards.

In studio, the tutor(s) are marking our work based on the assessment rubrics. If there is no rubric, what will happend? It will depanded more on the magic and sparkles of a particular project. Is it true? Yes? No? I only can answer this question later in life, or maybe not.

ACTIVITY 2: THE GRAND DEBATE REFLECTION A debate on famous buildings. 3 teams: the optimists, the haters and the adjudicators. It’s hard to hate buildings that you like and support buildings that you dont like. This activity teaches me that, to sell your idea, it not only matter on how good your deisgn process, the development, the rationality and etc, if you are not presenting properly. Verbal explaination have an effect on the hearer. In any presentation, WKH ÀUVW LPSUHVVLRQ LV WKH ERDUG DQG PRGHO WKLQJV ZH FDQ VHH ,I WKH ÀUVW VWHS VLJKW LV LQWHUHVWLQJ WR WKHP WKH\ ZDQW PRUH H[SODLQDWLRQ YHUEDO , DP FRQÀGHQW in my ability to attarct/convince people with my hardskill. For the second step, verbal, is where I need to do preparation. Really.

haters win

optimists win

we as judges It’s a wonder when a building like this can’t win. I learn that, we need to back up our arguments/presentation with solid UHVHDUFK DQG XVH IRU MXVWLÀFDWLRQ

we as haters Hamster cage? Haha. I notice that we back up our ideas with emotional and personal means. The bad stuff that we said (others mostly) are not compelling to the judges. Maybe the judges are rational people

optimists win

optimists win

we as judges I don’t know this building. I don’t know KRZ WR MXGJH WKLV EXLOGLQJ RQ ÀUVW impression. It’s not ugly nor pretty. It’s just, hm...

we as optimists Again, I do kind of understand why people dont like fed square. But, why do we need to hate it?

And, being the judge is hard to. To evaluate someone’s argument is condlicting. My personal opinions kept popping here and there while listening to their arguments.Do I need to be objective or subjective in this matter? Maybe, if there is any activities that recuire me to be a judge, I need to have a assessment rubric to make sure, I am not bias.

Well, there is still bias, it’s just with more constraints.

ACTIVITY 3: 50 YEARS TO THE FUTURE REFLECTION , QHYHU OLWWOH DIÀQLW\ WR WHFKQRORJ\ ,W·V QRW , DP EDG with it, but it’s, plastic? I know, digital fabrication/ modelling/crafts is one thing. The use of computer to render, make models, store data, informations, as tools, as the canvas and almost anything now.

It is here with the existance of designers/engineers/ thinkers/people who funded/managers/etc. Why do they think of the future? Are they evaluating the future as a better place, or they don’t want the future to be bad, hence they create these ideas/ concepts? (ex sustainability) Can we evaluate future? No. Evaluation is for the past. Yes, so we can make decision? What am I going to do? Do I need to evaluate everything? There some things that I can’t evaluate? The unseen (emotion/mind-reading) and stuff that I don’t know about. As far as I know, I can evaluate previous designs, projects that are done. And I can evaluate the present. Things that are happening now. But to evaluate future, No. As a designer, no.It’s hard to assess something that is not solid (abstract).

Inspiration Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens, Dandenong One day after the last class, me and my roommate went to Dandenong to breath. Literally and mentally.

To take a forest walk is good. Just get away from the computer and it’s worth it. It’s the time to evaluate what had I been doing. Am I doing it right? Is there anything that I missed? And after all, we are designing our life, don’t we? Going to do the same with my daily life as what I do when designing my projects.
