RUS 104 XZbition 2013

Task of the week: a self organised exhibition event in The Drum.
We are going to design our booth and display selected studioworks.
This time we will combine with Urban and Regional Planning students as a booth to compete with three other booths.

There are a number of five booths which are:
Booth 1: Interior design with urban and regional planning
Booth 2: Architecture
Booth 3: Quantity surveying and construction management
Booth 4: Building surveying and building technology
Booth 5: Integrated group which displays the amphitheatre stage models which were done in project 6

Ground floor level

First floor level

The theme for the exhibition is 'Floating Lines'.
We were allowed to use any possible materials to design our booth based on the theme and provide a banner that show the name of our majors.
Some of the examples of 'floating lines':

Floating lines do not mean that we must use only lines.

[Everything is created from lines]
Without lines, shapes cannot be formed.

The first thing that came into my mind was floating lamps and chairs in the air.
As I was inexperienced for exhibition design, I looked on the web and was attracted by a picture.

Stockholm Furniture Fair 2009

It matched with my concept and the theme.

I proposed to my major and all of us were agreed to the concept.

We decided to use white colour as our main colour as it looks clean and elegant.

The spot lights gave a good lighting effect

It was my first time to work together with all my coursemates.

Although there are many group projects, I seldom have the chance to cooperate with them.

The exhibition had provided the chance and it brought us to be closer.

It was tiring, yet filled with joy and fun.

Let's Learn About Architectural Lettering If You Want To be A Designer

First Lesson In Design Class: Learn How To Write A rchitectural Lettering If you think the first lesson in design class is something about design theory/ philosophy or probably some sketching, you are definitely wrong! If you want to be a designer or architect, your handwriting couldn't be sucks! First of all, practice your handwriting, not freehand writing, but architectural lettering. Eventhough our drawings nowadays depend on AutoCad and some other softwares, in the past designers were drawing manually and therefore neat handwriting is crucial. Maybe You Will Be wondering: What Is An Architectural lettering? It is expected as a designer or architect that all blueprints, drawings and designs have architectural lettering. This lettering was established ages ago by architects so that all writing on blueprints were legible therefore costly mistakes would not be made. Practicing this lettering is still a necessary part of the curriculum in most architectu...

Mind Maps, Mood Boards, Conceptual Models, Renderings

Back to second year. Unlike the first year where all the newbies studied the same courses together, we were separated into our majors in second year. Mine was interior design. Well, a brand new year. We moved to second year interior design studio (a small studio just to fit 20 persons) and we got new studiomasters! (as we have our studio project as the main subject, we called the lecturers as studiomasters, masters who lead the studio) So, how to start a design? Do mind mapping. Take a subject and start to elaborate about it. The core is to think. After brainstorming, choose three design elements and principles that could make the design works. Design elements: point, line, shape, form, space, color and texture. Design principles: balance, proportion, perspective, emphasise, movement, pattern, repetition, rhythm, variety, harmony and unity. A simple example: start with flower as the subject, we can elaborate into colour (design element), organic shape(design eleme...

Presentation Drawings

This is something I never expected. Blueprint, a technical drawing that acts as a plan or model. It documents an engineering or architecture design. Examples of blueprint: I need to draw the blueprints of 'THE HEXA' that I had done in the previous project! It is a very tough job as the design is quite complicated. Gotta pull up my socks to finish the project in time. Plan, front, rear, left and right view Two point perspectives to draw out 'The Hexa' with a human figure to indicate the scale Axonometric Drawing- isometric which is in 30 degree elevation Colour with Alpha Water Colors PS: I made mistakes in the drawing: the furniture should have some thickness to indicate its volume. It is learning process anyway. [Practive makes better] -End of chapter-
