Research Three environments: Cliff, Swamp, Forest

Cliff: Because of earthquake, the ground distegrate from plane to become a crevasse.When the time past, the crevasse could be a shape into a cliff.

Research Three environments: Cliff, Swamp, Forest

Swamp:Creatures live in the swamp leave their trace on the surface of swamp.When they pass through it, the ripples appear on the surface of water.

Research Three environments: Cliff, Swamp, Forest

Forest: The drawing is translating the longitude and the latitude into plane of X and Y lines for describing the size and desity of forest.

Self-Portrait: Gyroscope

Ten Days Workshop :Self Portrait

--As this wave from memories fl ows in, the city soaks it up like a sponge and expands.A description of Zaira as it is today should contain all Zair's past.The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains i like the lines of a hand,written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the fl ags,every segment marked in turn with scratches,indentations,scrolls.--Referance from INVISIBLE CITIES ITALO CALVINO--

19092008. I join the free night hike,and walked 10 miles around center of London.We didn't know the where were we.We just followed people and arrow across every bridge on Thames river.I took pictures at night,and thought Marco Polo how to say and describe the cities to Kublai knban,then I made the gyroscope by personal experience to experience the environment of the city.

Three Days Workshop:Situational Drawings From:uLA [Bryan Cantely + Kevin O'Donnell]Think Quick/Draw Quick/Done Quick

Day 1: 4 Drawings

A.Page Structure1.Tape down a large format paper to your desk2.Use adjacent situations to project a "Structure" on the paper

B.Object Deconstructing1.Find and locate a semi-complex component.2.Construct two sections and elevations of the component.

C.Post Occupancy Graphics1.Generate a set of graphic information system

D.Page Structure1.Locate a page that has "Native print" markings.2.Use the original format to establish a geometry of the markings.3.This will serve as a "Structural idea" for the SURFACE of the page.

Day 2: 2 Drawings1.Context drawings: combine page structure and occupancy graphics and native print into one as a site/context.2.Hybrid Drawings : Begin with the object drawing and introduce the information behind or before the section or elevation.

Day 3.1: Observatory of Situational DrawingStart to explore through the context drawings that you create by cutting section or whatever method, to realize the ability or potential of the structure, and emerged the object into the context as observatory for exploring situational drawings.

Day 3.2: Final Tweak and Narratives
