Today, we had the last lecture of Year 1. This lecture is about spaces, and there’s exercise to do too. We are given one A4 paper and four small pieces of colored paper. And then cut and fold the small pieces of colored paper. The number of cut and fold were given by the lecturer. After that, stick the paper together to create interesting spaces. Give the whole space a purpose. I make it either a shopping mall or theater. There’s not much time left for me to do the real shophouse model. So, I decided to use white mounting board instead of true materials. This also means that my workmanship must be very good.

Nothing much about today. I just continued doing the projects. There’s a good news for us. The In-Tech wall submission date had been extended to next Mon (09/02), and we can choose either to submit real shophouse model this Fri (06/02), or next Mon (09/06). If we submit the real shophouse model this Fri, we can submit the A1 board next Mon. I chose to submit the real shophouse model this Fri, as there’s already no time for me to do the A1 board and go Peace Centre print.

Till now, I haven’t even started doing the real shophouse model, as I’ve been drawing out the shophouse in Autodesk VIZ and AutoCAD. The lecturers said that it’s better for us to finish up drawing shophouse in Autodesk VIZ before we start on the real shophouse model. This is because we can have the right measurements in Autodesk VIZ and when we do the real shophouse model, we can refer directly to the shophouse measurements in Autodesk VIZ.

Still continuing with the shophouse mockup model. I find it challenging when creating space for the client, as I need to consider whether the space is big enough or too small for the client to do the particular activity in that space. So, I created bigger spaces for my client, instead of “just nice”. If the spaces are too small, the client will get restricted by the spaces when moving around it.

For this few weeks, there will be consultation all the way. All of us need to consult the lecturer taking the class, even if we do not have any questions to ask them. This is to allow them to see how we are proceeding and whether we are on the right track. I consulted Kelly and he told me to take out the second storey floor so that I will not get restricted by the floor. Therefore, I created some of the spaces at different height.
