place 3dtadaa! here is the biggest addition to the 3d bit. i'll use a real law book from my days at law school. it's actually a book on constitutional law and includes cases and legislation about aboriginal people. i also bookmarked them so people can flick through the pages and read them themselves. <br /><br />but of course i had to make some changes, so i thought i might design my own book cover. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

the 1000000000 photos i took. i tried to form them into some kind of composition but it looked boring. so i thought i might go even further and make them mostly unrecognisable by folding them. <br /><br />i found a triangular origami shape online. the triangle refers to the triangular shape of macquarie place; it is also the shape of the whole composition. so the viewer can kind of interact with the work. they can pick a piece, unfold it, and if they've been there they can recognise what spot or feature it is, or they can at lest try to figure it out. this way they interact with the place, but they interact with it within the parametres i set up, and more importantly, from MY eyes.rojwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02856042706874670897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123494586519003177.post-25426712672693286122010-10-06T11:53:00.000-07:002010-10-27T07:22:03.870-07:00macquarie place 2d solutionafter going to macquarie place again and reflecting on the second experience, i've thought of two important things about it.<br /><br />1- it meant nothing to me before i started working on this project. therefore, it had no personal value. what could this mean? to me it means that a place is only a place if you've spent time in it, you've got memories in it. a place doesn't become important for you just because it is important in terms of the historical significance of the city you live in. <br /><br />from that i skipped onto what proust mentions about his room in 'in search of lost time', and his involuntary memory. i think even a very small feature of a place is powerful enough to represent the whole. the opera house or a kangaroo represents australia overall in many contexts. so the water feature, the obelisk, or any other thing in macquarie place can represent the whole place. i will work on that idea.<br /><br />ah-nother thing: i took several photos, and after that i realised one thing. the frames i photographed can only be framed from that very point i stood, in macquarie place, at that particular time of the day, with those people passing by. they are frames that i could never ever recapture. but to me, they still represent macquarie place. so i will combine this with the idea above.rojwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02856042706874670897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123494586519003177.post-52802906844773188452010-10-05T13:51:00.000-07:002010-10-26T21:52:19.868-07:00lecture

place 3d solutionthe article on macquarie place is rather interesting. it says it's the first public space in australia...well, what about the public spaces aboriginal people had? it is very well documented that they had public spaces, along with private spaces reserved for individuals or people of a certain nation or clan. this is a remnant of colonisation that still lurks. australia began with the arrival of the british...<br /><br />not quite. aboriginal people had been here for a very very long time, and they had clearly defined nations, more than 200 of them actually, with very different cultures, traditions, languages and laws. and yes, they actually did have laws. so what happened? with the british invasion entire aboriginal nations got wiped out. <br /><br />so in my 3d project i will try to represent the arrival of british and and how they imposed their laws on aboriginal people, and how they used the law to cause that massive destruction.rojwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02856042706874670897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123494586519003177.post-57430453566476617412010-09-26T15:26:00.000-07:002010-10-26T21:47:47.823-07:00lecture

place site visitso this was a hands on kind of class...it was very interesting and i really liked the whole experience of visiting a place for the purpose of analysing it.<br /><br />so these are my reflections:<br /><br />the site feels a little odd, since it is just so small it doesn't even take you a minute to walk from one end to the other. <br /><br />it is surrounded by buildings on all sides.<br />it is surrounded by busy streets on two sides and a walkway on the third, which gets quite busy during rush hour but not so much otherwise.<br /><br />there are quite a few monuments and sculptures etc, including the obelisk, which signifies just how important macquarie place was; it was literally the centre of sydney, once upon a time<br /><br />not a lot of people sit on the benches etc during the day, even around lunch time it's not quite packed. <br /><br />there is an interesting mix of plants, some look native to the area and some imported<br /><br />the water feature is probably my favourite spot; it's so small yet so defined.<br /><br />the trees create almost a natural dome over the place, you can't see the sky very easily..<br /><br />all this creates a feeling that macquarie place is like some kind of open-air museum, reminiscent of the old days of the colony, something to keep not necessarily to use within its perceived function, but to look and learn.rojwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02856042706874670897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123494586519003177.post-19928680232331574772010-09-19T21:46:00.000-07:002010-10-26T21:48:26.549-07:00lecture

4: coffee machine 2dthis composition also examines dalisi's process, but without colour. i looked at the 'problem' ie the design as a maze dalisi had to see through, but then i thought that the design process entails multiple mazes, so i included five of them. this layer is underneath the second and is physically separated. on the second layer i looked at how he created ideas, and how they become clearer as he goes through the design process. there are no complete words until he experiences the rather chaotic stage where all sorts of ideas clash with each other, but there is still nothing concrete. eventually he starts developing complete words (ideas) and they get together to form the coffee machine. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

4: coffee machine 3dthis one develops the first study i made, which is the process dalisi went through. the initial part is mostly black and pink. the black is the uncertainty, and the pink is the initial ideas/plan he applied, which then disappears after the middle part where he has a phase of confusion and there is bit of a chaos. however, the ideas he ends up applying are still visible from the beginning to a certain extent. in the end he comes up with a smooth and concrete form which incorporates several interrelated ideas. <br /><br /><a onblur="try

semi-symmetrical.<br /><br />next i looked at the patterns. i looked at the curvy forms and colours and prepared a study from which i cut pieces to form the patterned part of the composition:<br /><br

Glennie : how to listen to music with your whole bodythis was a very very interesting video, and as a music lover opened my eyes to a complete new layer of music. <br /><br />evelyn glennie is a deaf musician, who 'hears' music through the musical values the notes represent, the vibrations within the space and her body, and through the rythm, of course. <br /><br />it was quite amazing to see how she interacted with the audience and made them think about how they perceive music, and explained that you don't only 'listen' to music with your ears but there are several different factors to be taken into account.rojwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02856042706874670897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123494586519003177.post-56301972666666773162010-08-14T18:19:00.000-07:002010-08-26T18:25:14.694-07:00different

4: paradise readingthe first article talks about the concept of paradise within the western context, as well as examining some myths. <br /><br />the second studies the concept of paradise in islam, drawing on several verses from the koran, and some poems. this is particularly interesting for me, since i grew up in a muslim country so i have a deeper understanding, but i grew up in that muslim country as a non-muslim so i still cannot completely understand how a devout muslim would feel about these ideas. <br /><br />perhaps the most well known one is pandora's box! pandora opens the box and all blessings escape, but hope stays. hope is the only blessing mankind has to survive. <br /><br />it is interesting to contrast the perceptions of the west and the east, but what is most interesting about both is the effort people have made to make sense of the things happening around them. people have, in a sense, made up stories in an effort to explain their surroundings, the world they inhabit, and of course, their lives. no wonder religion still plays a very important role in our lives today since there is still so much we cannot explain, including what happens when we die, hence all the ideas about paradise! =) <br /><br />a study of my paradise:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"
