Theories Journey..

This will be the last class of my theory architecture class. Throughout this semester, this class had makes me know lots of extra knowledge, as in difference kind of people’s thinking in difference perspective and views. In the past, architecture is more likely like a concept or designing to represent power, identity, wealth and lots more. Basically, I would characterize majority of the structure in the past were considerate it aesthetic, local identity and sociopolitical dimension. However in the modern generation, function and economic have dominate the world. The competitive technology has allows the world to chase up speed, therefore large space will require for human to explores and produces item.

Through my first theory’s assignment, I have required to blog about a movie name of “minority report”. In my personal view, this movie has show the evolution of our future world. Which it might be dominate by the mobility world through the integration of technologies. If this really happen, decreasing the interaction between human will soon became a fact. As an architect, we have the responsibilities to reconsideration the design and to prevent lack of human interaction.
I am required to blog about a more general architecture articles. Firstly was the understanding of space and place, building and dwelling, and how to bring things into the present. In addition, I have also needed to explore the issue how buildings embody the past. It was important to understand the relationship of architecture when applying in a National Monument. By just walking through the National Monument, we should be able to have the historical feeling before us actually knowing it. Last but not least, I had learnt about the seven senses. This is one of the theories I can apply in any of my design. It seems like easy when we want to apply these senses in our design, but architects nowadays had been lacking out these theory by just focusing on the sense of sight, which is cause majorly by the media.

Most importantly, no matter what it is, for me; understanding ourselves is the main things of the theory class. Is been 2 years in my architecture life, I have never thought of the reason why am I doing my design in such style until I met this theory class. In my philosophy, I found out that in this world, everything is interrelated, everything were actually come from the basic. For an example, when u looking at a very complex building, you will thought that it must be come with a very complicated thinking before it built. But, I realized things don’t go in that way after the theory class. When we actually observe it in detail, the original thinking will real simple and basic. The basic things that shape me in my design nowadays were closely related with the house I stay when I was young. The reason why this happen, I think it is because an environment will cultivate a person attitude and thinking. Since that in the very young age I have been shape in that way, therefore, my design and thinking will closely relate to the house I stay when I was young.

The best things I love about this class which is my lovely lecturer. Before telling why it is the best, lets me talk about the worst things of these class. The worst thing of this class, which is to understands the article given by the lecturer. Is slightly difficult to blog about the articles when we don’t even know what it is talking about. Therefore, we will need to take our time until the last minute to produce the best understanding toward the article. And yes! Almost all of the articles make me burn the mid-night oil until the next day of the class. In the half sleeping mode, our lecturer still manages to joke with us, by keeping us awake to understand the lecture. The kindness and freedom environment of the class that creates by the lecturer makes me love it so much. Therefore, I guess that is the best of this class~
