Virgin Atlantic


Nice collage by Virgin Atlantic.
Attraction of UK is gathered in this one image. It is appealing.

I just booked a ticket in Virgin for going back to my country. I can't wait.

Olafur Eliasson

People can see themselves on the ceiling.


'Beauty' 1993
Chicago

'Your Watercolor Horizon' 2009
Kanazawa


I'd like to go and feel his works someday.
It's hard to understand in 2D.


It is crucial to think about the atmosphere as a person who is creating a space for people.

Villa Vals












'Villa Vals - Vals, Switzerland (j)
A joint venture between SeArch and Christian Muller Architects (CMA), Villa Vals was designed to seamlessly marry with the landscape while maximizing natural light and views. With its breathtaking location in the heart of the Swiss Alps and its close proximity to Vals Thermal Baths.'



I was researching about tunisia for the group work of sustainable thinking.
There are houses on the ground for the response to Arid climate in Tunisia. There is a big temperature gap within a day.



This Villa Vals project reminds me Tunisia's ground house, although they are under different climates.

Pablo Reinoso

Spaghetti Benches



The designer, Pablo Reinoso is from Argentine.

The curbs he create are natural and dynamic.
This is something people can enjoy in the atmosphere. I mean it is hard to be expressed in a photo.

Example of lights

Example of lightning.
This contrast of the plants and lights are nice.

Feeling 'warmth'

Height of lights

On the way back to my room from school, it was pretty dim outside.
I saw a garden with nice lights. The height of lights were low.

This seems quite typical type of lightning.

Nicely lightning up people's feet

Although streetlights are quite necessary, I personally feel safer with this light than lights with that.



There is a dark space created in between light to light
and it's bigger since the light is from the top


I've experienced unsafe quite a lot of times on the way home in my life.

For my project, I'm going to use lights on the bottom of the site, so that, people can feel warmness of that.

The Blooming Commission: Josiah McElheny






Jpsiah McElheny created a room like a kaleidoscope in White Chapel Museum.
Images are projected on big screens through mirrors, which are set in different angles.

Kaleidoscope is something we can peek in.
It was interesting experience that I actually got in it.

There was a history of mirror exhibited on the room beside.
People do not doubt the figure of themselves in a mirror; however, it is not their real appearance. It was interesting.

He is working on reflection.





Thanks Leo.

Chocolate as..

Chocolate forms magical.
This patterns on the surface is just like a river.



Two of my classmates used wax for their models this time.
Amal made a nice white model with seeds from her kitchen.
It reminded me white chocolate.
I was about to eat.



I also used sugar on my site model as sand and stones.
It was successful.
Sugar melted into PVA glue forming marble shapes.
I added more sugar on the top a couple hours later, so it stayed on.


It's such a fun and a good experience to try out new materials for a model.

Collage?


Tricky, and interesting photo
Must be a collage

Pentagon Memorial Site

A history behind makes memorial spaces attractive.





Pentagon Memorial Site
184 benches, which are the exact number of the victims from the site there.
The shape of benches seems a wing of an aeroplane.

Night view is spectacular.

Water runs below benches.
