Hi! My name is Calvin.

Hi! My name is Calvin.I love things about design. And that is one reason why I study architecture. I like to make things beautiful and make things work, especially through new and creative ways.

I enjoy designing with computers.I love editing pictures with Photoshop and laying out with InDesign.

However, I would like to know how computers can aid in generating designs for architecture rather than just being a drafting tool like AutoCAD.

through Virtual Environments in first year of university. I designed a headpiece using Google SketchUp. The design was about abstracting a form for the headpiece by capturing the movement of a dove landing on my head. I translated a 1:10 physical model into a digital model to be edited and finally fabricated into a full size prototype.
I first encountered digital architecture

I have not exploredmuch of digital architecture yet.

I think digital architecture, in the future, will be a major discourse in architecture. And so, I think it is worth exploring further.
I have learnt Rhino and Grasshopper. However, I have very limited understanding and technique in using it for design.
much of digital architecture yet.

“No walls, no roof, no purpose...”Blur Building

I like this architecture because it challenges people's ideas of what is a building.

The Blur Building, a building if you could call it, has no dimensions, no scale, no form and no function. And it is also a building that you can drink! And these generate a conversation about what is architecture.

The building is a reaction against the overwhelming visual simulation normally in an exposition. It challenges our dependence on vision and our want of activity. Here is a building "absolutely nothing to see and nothing to do" as quoted from the architects.
I believe this architecture pushes forward what architecture can be and makes us think hard again what is architecture.
I find the building even more interesting in how it explores how we experience architecture.
