Tick Of The Clock

this pretty much sums up my weeks lately and yes it's also the rationale behind the lack of my blog post. I ain't got no time baby, even just for opening the blogger dashboard. every week is like a deadline week, wait.. everyday is a deadline day to be precise. the tasks invade me (or us, the architecturian, to be exact) like the barbarian, they attack us ceaselessly without mercy :' well, what can I say? I say let's just enjoy the process, I know we'll smile at all of our hardworks at the end. shoutout for all architecturians! I know we all can pass through this, keep fighting! :)

p.s: I was bored by the pile of tasks and so I made this to amuse myself

A Peek on Villa Savoye

It's an old project from last semester (it's a group task), we're told to make a model of Villa Savoye; a splendid modernist villa in Poissy, France built between 1928 and 1931. Designed by Le Corbusier, a notable swiss architect known as one of the pioneers of modern architecture, Villa Savoye is one of the most influential building in modern movement, it really had an enormous influence on international modernism. It is now became a museum and it has a frequent visitors every year, particularly architecture people who want to witness this historical edifice.

Article Layout

it's just another assignment post from my favorite class, Architectural Communication Technique class, frankly I enjoy the assignments this far hahaha. on this 3rd task, the objective is to understand the basic of nifty article layout thus we're ordered to make one, the content is up to us and yes we're allowed to copy texts + images. 

images & texts are courtesy of Majapahit Hotel

as you can see, I choose Majapahit Hotel as the article - it's a luxury heritage hotel in my hometown - and in case you're wondering why I pick black & white as the color scheme, well it's solely because I run out of any color scheme idea. but it's not bad, no? it even emphasizes the historical and heritage ambience, don't you think? ;)

Typography

this is the 2nd assignment from Architectural Communication Technique class. as you can see from the title, we're ordered to make typography assignment based on "architecture is..." word. so here are some of my works, I know it's not that much but well it's worth to try :D

this is what I chose to submit to the lecturers, below are the alternatives

Diffable

"The Eyes Are Useless When The Mind is Blind" 

this quote came up in front of me while I was browsing through social media. and frankly it snapped my attention right away because it reminds me of my assignment, the subject is accessibility - it's about designing for diffable person, in this subject we're expected to be more concern and compassionate about them who has different ability. anyhow the quote is kinda ironic isn't it? I mean there are lots of people who's given a pair of healthy eyes yet they don't use it in a good way, many of them have narrow mind; they don't realize how fortunate they are to have this exquisite gift and they end up wasting it for some crappy things. whilst on the contrary, there are few people scattered in this world who's unfortunate end up having visual impairment. but by having this kind of shortage, it won't stop them from being awesome, they even tend to possess a powerful great mind, more expanded than a normal-eyed person's mind. this shortage even provokes them to prove themselves to the world that they're capable to do anything that seemingly impossible. for example is Stevie wonder, who doesn't know him? he's a famous blind musician who has pocketed more than 20 Grammy Awards plus one Grammy Award Lifetime Achievement, wow what a marvelous achievement, no? not many normal-eyed person can even obtain that. another example is Hellen Keller, I reckon everybody know her, no need to mention her awesomeness I suppose. the 3rd example is Esref Armagan, well he's a blind painter. yes even blind person is capable to do that, I can barely believe it at first but well nothing is impossible, no? if you're curious below are some of his works.

well I guess that's it. what I'd like to share is, you can do more than them if you want, just don't be nonchalant of what God has given to you, you just have to sought out what's your talent is - or maybe you've discovered it, well develop it for a good cause then. their success didn't just popped out in an instant, they gain it by their devoted hardwork. so let's do more establishment things and don't give up easily, shall we? :)

Initial Persecution

tadaaa this is my very first assignment on this 5th semester, yes it's still the first week of college and I have to encounter this persecution already. yeah but it's not much and no need of rigorous effort as well, a handy task I suppose. the subject is Architectural Communication Technique, it teaches us how to design a good poster design, from setting the poster layout to selecting the right font.

well at this task, the lecturer wanted us to design an A4 poster about building in Yogyakarta and my choice goes to Borobudur Temple, an exquisite & enormous ancient temple. anyhow since what's important is the layout design, we are allowed to copied texts and images straight to our work, so all of these images and texts are courtesy of website.

ps: I made this with powerpoint coz I have no coreldraw/photoshop yet
