Liu, Vanessa Sze Kei:

I think you did a good job with your  1:1 detail, working with the laser cutter to create the individual puzzle pieces then assembling them together. I like they way that you investigated the effects of lighting and how it can be manipulated between the puzzle pieces. It was also good how the set played a major part in your design and how the structure can be used for the public is really interesting. I think that doing a couple of drawings showing the lighting effects or interior of the structure would really enhance the project. Overall I think you did a good job. 

He, Yi Heng: 

I liked the way that you developed your project from the previous gathering project. The use of computer renderings helped to explain and imagine your building in the surrounding environment. I like the way what your building interacted with its surroundings by going down into the ground making it seem more permanent and realistic.  The 1:1 detail was well made and showed a main idea that you wanted to portray.

Final Design of Gifting Project

Gifting Matrix

This is a snapshot of my matrix for my gifting.

Site for Office Space and Relationship with Surrounding Buildings

In the two photos below I have shown the imagined view from each interior space.

Quick sketches of office views

These sketches illustrate the views that I want to achieve for each office space.

Development of sculptie

Looking at the structure of the table and the different shapes and spaces created inside....these could represent different rooms or areas in my building and the different experiences that you have in each of these spaces.

Quick ideas for gifting

designing for generosity....experiences linked with development of learning, knowledge, traveling, movement, a journey. New things being discovered as you explore further into the building...reactive architecture. How do you enter the building? and how do you move around it? ...is it up to you or is it directive...purposeful. Motion...is the way the you move around the building similar to that of the movement in my stop motion.
