Unbuilt Building..

1. Constructivism and Russian Futurism



I've found this unbuilt building called "Das Wolkenbügel" ("The Cloud-iron").
It is designed by El Lissitzky in 1925. Another major current in deconstructivist architecture takes inspiration from the Russian Constructivist and Futurist movements of the early twentieth century, both in their graphics and in their visionary architecture, little of which was actually constructed.


2. Imperial War Museum (Existing building)


Deconstructivism in architecture and is also called as Deconstruction. It is a development of Post-modern architecture beginning in the late 1980s at North in Manchester England.
This is another building I found which looks weird and it looks more like some kinds of playground rather than war museum. However, it is characterised by ideas of fragmentation and non-linear processes of design which are interesting to see.

THEMES
The three themes that our Group(C) have chosen to do are:
CONTEXT - data, information, meanings.
CONFLICT - revolution, decisions, arguments and solutions.
KNOWLEDGE - information, library, databases, books, archives, researches.

Beginning of this Digital Collaboration studio course..

I've heard about research project 1 subject previously which is very difficult and is the compulsory course as the subject is the all about Science Architecture. By transferring to Architectural Computing, this subject seemed very difficult for me. Because this course is totally new and its my last year, I was a bit worried whether I can cope with it well or not. However, when I formed into a group, it was less stressful about the worries I had. I have people to ask for help within the group and we could learn things from eachother while working in a team.

I like designing and free drawings which I think I'm good at it a bit. I also like to use 3dmax, CAD, web design, multimedia and dreamweaver, etc programmes. I'm not yet professional at any programmes, however I'm willing to learn more and become well at using those programmes by the end of this course I hope. I was lost in the beginning, but I'm into it now and to do my best through the end of the session, I'll try hard with the people in group C.
I hope to learn many techniques from tutor for computing programmes especially, during the course and I'm sure he'll lead us well to support our ideas and thoughts. I'm looking forward to it!
