ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES: February 2010

http://mingshi-architecture-in-my-eyes.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES. Sunday, February 28, 2010. The interesting points in the sites. Tomorrow, I will walk through the site via the two routes that I marked on the picture, and take photos as many as I can. This could help to build my own real experience when crossing the site. And if I overlay the successive photos onto the 3D models facade of Forbidden City, the real one and imaginary one may create some interesting, strange or unexpected things. We will see. Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Apart fro...

Tandorn Prakobpol: Tutorial 29 Jan 2010

http://tandorn.blogspot.com/2010/02/tutorial-29-jan-2010.html

Tuesday, 2 February 2010. Tutorial 29 Jan 2010. Since the Machine Age, Le Corbusier has declared that “The House is a machine for living in” which mean. Architects should make the house as well suited to its purpose as a machine was because house is one of the primary living unit of the city. On the other hand, greenhouse gas has emitted since the creation of steam engine, it. Architects should make the house as well suited to its purpose as an organism was to create. And become a part of the nature.

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES: some possible relationship between two cities from “ invisible cities”

http://mingshi-architecture-in-my-eyes.blogspot.com/2010/05/some-possible-relationship-between-two.html

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES. Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Some possible relationship between two cities from “ invisible cities”. When people come to a new city, what they see and what they remember are familiar things in their memory. For example, the goblet means bars, the curtain and plotted plant means home, the show window means shops. So their memory could be changed by the new things come to their minds. The feeling about the home and familiar space. When a city is destroyed and the walls are removed, if ...

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES: invisible cities

http://mingshi-architecture-in-my-eyes.blogspot.com/2010/05/invisible-cities.html

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES. Thursday, May 20, 2010. The book explores imagination and the imaginable through the descriptions of cities by an explorer,. The book is framed as a conversation between the aging and busy emperor. Who constantly has merchants coming to describe the state of his expanding and vast empire, and Polo.

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES: A story for my Forbidden Soho

http://mingshi-architecture-in-my-eyes.blogspot.com/2010/05/this-is-story-about-nostalgia.html

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. A story for my Forbidden Soho. This is a story about nostalgia. From one part to the other, the city seems to continue, in perspective, multiplying its repertory of images: but instead it has no thickness, it consists only of a face and an obverse, like a sheet of paper, with a figure on either side, which can neither be separated nor look at each other. I just want to use this imagination to present my homesick feelings. When I go through the enclosure a...

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES: December 2009

http://mingshi-architecture-in-my-eyes.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES. Wednesday, December 9, 2009. A collection with a collection. It is a story about collection. When I made the collection about leaves, I did not have a very clear idea about the next step, but the situation was changed by the research of self-similarity in the last week. A collection with a collection, indeed, it was a good idea to convey this complicated definition in a very simple things, so I tried my best to realize it this week. Collection 2: Unfinished collection. A collecti...

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES: October 2009

http://mingshi-architecture-in-my-eyes.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

ARCHITECTURE IN MY EYES. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. The dust exists everywhere and it can form any shape. In the site, as some cranes were working to construct or deconstruct the buildings, there was a great deal of dust floating in the air. So I planned to use the dust as my starting point. The main question for me is what can the dust does, what’s its trace across the site and where is its ending. Saturday, October 24, 2009. Exhibition at V&A: English Architecture 1660-1715. Some ideas about sites.
