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? ;)

You Can Only Choose One

would you rather be
UNDERESTIMATE
––––––––or ––––––––––––
OVERESTIMATE
?

this thought came over to my mind unexpectedly right after I woke up from my dream. well it's a bit uncanny, I can't remember what kind of dream that molded this thought, I lost track of it. I personally can't decide whether I'd rather be underestimate or overestimate, both have their advantages and disadvantages. so what about you? which one do you prefer? please spare me your thought, you'll be very welcome :)
