Exp 1: Intro + Artists' Work + The Three Words



Best picture of creative work at high school

My HSC Design & Technology Project (The U Chair)


This is the rendered version of my supposed "utility" chair, which is currently sitting in my living room. Well this is interesting in a fact that the chair contains compartments in the armrests, serving as storage space. You can see the two drawers coming out of the left armrest and a small door on the side, which seals a makeshift bookshelf (not visible in the pic). The wooden block on the right armrest is a "multi-purposed” tabletop which can be stored away in the armrest itself. So you can decide whether this is a really interesting picture/work or just downright bizarre but for me, it is my proudest and most creative project of my high schooling period.




An image of the building that inspired me to become an architect



Fallingwater (Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence) by Frank Llyod Wright


I came across this amazing piece of art when I was in year 9, while googling something for a research assignment. I never thought any building could be constructed successfully on such environment, full of rocks and varying terrain, not to mention a waterfall going underneath it. However, this particular picture showed me that you can transform a house into an incredible work of art and therefore really was the first of many inspirations that guided me into the field of architecture.


An original photograph of something beautiful


Crystal Palace at Luna Park


A snapshot of one of the best nights of my life, this picture is beautiful in many ways for me. It was taken on the night of my graduation party, and this beautifully-lit castle is the very building that the party was taken place. Even though some of the lights were missing on the castle, it nonetheless created an incredible atmosphere. So I associate this picture with a very stunning memory, which i will remember for the rest of my life.
