        Lee, Youngju : AssignmentsFifth Street: Cudda Wudda Shudda Although it looks simple, 5th street in Georgia Tech has depth in terms of meaning. It is inevitable to step on 5th street for tech students nowadays because they have to buy the textbook from the Barnes & Noble. Not only tech students, but also many people who have business in downtown have to cross 5th street because it is the connection between downtown and Georgia Tech. Of course it is a public space and many different kinds of people went through this street. Furthermore, coin parking on the side of the streets and the some of the parking tickets on the front of the cars from the police makes clear sense that this is the public space. Movie Theater also describes the street that everybody is welcome and enjoys their time on its spaces. However, there were some private streets such as Strada Nuova (Via Garibaldi) of Genoa, (The Street) which was a state initiative built to serve a private clientele. If the street is on private use, it would not be as useful as public. Why? Most people would like to go to place where there is no restriction and have free will. Psychologically, why would someone wants to get involve in place where they cannot do what they want to do? Urban and rural walking is a history of freedom and the definition of the pleasure. (The Skilled Pedestrian) Public streets like 5th street gives somewhat of a freedom when compare to other private streets. Maybe the restrictions follow on public place would be under government law. And yes there are signals saying “no,” “prohibited,” “watch out for,” or “don’t” (The Physical Street) but these signals are for the safety of the public streets pedestrians. The first street looking kind was Catal Huyuk in Asian Minor, (The Street) which pedestrian movement was made on the roofs of the buildings and the social activities on the courtyards. Streets did not invent suddenly. It has gone through many developments from earlier time to modern days. The first “street” in history was Khirokitia, (The Street) running uphill from the riverbank and down on the opposite side of the hill, was built and developed above the ground level. Later, at Beycesultan, (The Street) the character is a differentiation of the streets where the street separated into two major arteries, the streets within residential areas were local ones. Move on to 2000-1900 B.C., two crossing “main streets” showed in the karum of Kultepe. (The Street) Just like every other objects or species, the systems of the “street” also have developed and design itself from the beginning, the basic of its kind. Framework and the division of the territory were the primary tools to narrow down the development and the function of the streets. If there was no subdivision or framework for the territory, the street would have been exactly the same as before and remain unchanged. Just like an architect need to have landscape, planning, and floor plans, development of this streets is similar except it is bigger scale. Since street is smaller than actually city, the division of the street acts as a small village or a town. The word “street” is from the Latin sternere, (The Street) which means “to pave.” Metaphorically, streets previously and modern time is very decorative and also functional too in terms of socially and economically. Palimpsests of the streets nowadays are the true “meanings” throughout the time. Although there were many changes with pavement and designs, the meaning of the street itself and the function of its use is unchangeable. Some of the functions that are still running as present are economic and social interaction. Walking from downtown and cross 5th street to Georgia Tech shows how other stores get customers and clients. Some of the people who walk or drive passing 5th street stop by their favorite store. Some people meet up in bookstore to talk with their friends while enjoying their coffee in café downstairs. However, the projection would be a bit different from modern streets. Some people say that there should not be any streets that have sidewalks on both sides because everybody will ride cars and there will not be any need. Other are saying that there will be an imaginary street on the sky where the flying cars comes to reality and will eventually dismiss the need of the street. Buildings will still build within older framework, and filling vacant lots and replacing old buildings with new ones. (Projects) Therefore, fantasy of lofty highway from movies like “Star Wars” will probably be really later like another millennium later. Nonetheless, it will be true that no one would need to walk around in the future because people shop online and chat with other people by using internet instant messenger nowadays. Not only, but also have people ridden bus and taxi if they do not own the car. So what makes different from street and using internet? Why walk around when internet can do everything? The honest answer would be “there is no answer.” However, there is something different. Many people do not know why they are there, but they have some sort of purpose to be there. Maybe some people want to exercise by walking while they are shopping or some people want to talk while they are eating with other people to have more interactions. These palimpsests are the things that cannot be explain by words but by meaning of human nature and basic instinct. On the 5th street, it has variety of characteristics including food store, book store, cloth store, theaters, and other stores. Dimensionally, almost every single stores and places take spaces. Because of the 5th street’s stores attraction, many people get to involve on this road with different kinds of activities. Barnes & Noble building looks a lot bigger than usual stores because it has class on top part of the building. Also, right next to the tech square, there is a hotel for Georgia Tech visitors. Especially for parents of Georgia Tech students who visit their kids from other states. Each store is displayed by side by side, which looks just like a hallway inside the mall. It is plausible that the designer of this space might have built this space in such way to increase the economic value of the location and also to show that the plaza smoothly relates to one another. It is not wrong to develop the spaces and design them to get profits out of them. That is why when compare to the history of the streets, 5th street is much bigger and larger in scale. Of course the big bridge in between the mid-city and tech entrance is beautiful with grasses. There was a football game and people were even sitting on the grass on the bridge street and have much interaction while eating barbeque. Amazing idea of the bridge in between actually is a lot useful. The development of this bridge will help to build more functional things such as outside high level buildings. Because this bridge has more space than other bridges, and the highway is underneath it, people will have more interest to develop this kind of system. Otherwise, imagine the bridge street system on top of the every highway; wouldn’t it help to create more space and give comfort to people? Since it is true that population on earth keeps increasing, using the bridge system will not be a bad idea to avoid the lack of space. Around the tech square area, building’s sizes are ambiguous. Especially the Barnes & Noble, it is hard to believe and imagine the volume of the building by just looking from outside at the 5th street. Also around the tech square section, there are Georgia Tech classes for mostly management major. It is a fresh idea to have big stores and food courts around and between the classes. Instead of rural, where all the classes are together and the other things are on the other side, 5th street’s organization and the tech square section mixed and combined together perfectly. If the 5th street did not organize like this, not many pedestrians would walk by the street. Many stores on 5th street are useful especially for tech student. For example, Barnes & Noble, which has café in the first floor with many books and also on second floor, is for students who need to buy the textbooks, it is easier for them to have the store right next to the school or inside the school so that they do not have to waste time. Also there are classes from the third floor of the Barnes & Noble buildings, which describe more opportunities for students to access whatever amount of sources that they could get. Furthermore, lots food stores like Tin Drum Asia Café, 5th St Ribs N Blues, and Globe Restaurant make students and other businessman to save time because the stores are on the way to do their business so they could stop by, eat and move on. Since there are many different kinds of ethnic group in Georgia Tech, some of the food stores like Tin Drum would be beneficial in terms of economy because many Asian people will use that restaurant more often than the other restaurants. In addition, 5th street within the bridge street helps a lot for many people who live around. The bridge street, act as a floor or a level, gives more space and opportunities to interact and interfere. Unlike some of the curved streets, 5th street is straight in which one can see one side from the other. Probably, the architect of this street designs it to be straight to apply the bridge street system and policy. It is unsurprising that 5th street has the heaviest pedestrian flow during daytime because not only the students are there, but also people from businessman to homeless. People have their own businesses to cover in this street so no one knows why different kinds of people are there. One of the interesting fact is that the theater by the actual performance. Unlike Movie Theater, where they run films, this performance theater is always different. Therefore, everyday has special events for the audience. This theater of the power, which controls the media of any kinds, influences a lot of people in the history. (The Street) Especially for people who live with emotions, they get more influence and into the story of the performance or the film and eventually end up with persuading by the media. Although 5th street is always with noise and sometimes irritating, it is hard to believe that there are different kinds of history and the functions for each structure. It is not surprising that there is heaviest pedestrian flow on this road because of many different kinds of stores. Some people are there to eat, watch movie, watch performance, go to the class, or have some sort of business to take care. At night time, this street looks so peaceful and keeps tranquility. This pattern generates question like “Did an architect design this pattern also?” If an architect really design the functions of the street, it would be possible to develop more and increase the skill to put only necessary things on the street. From the basic observation, a normal guy could walk by 5th street and eat, shop clothes, buy books, or anything that he wants and stop by the hotel and move on to next town on next day. Honestly, 5th street is a one small road in town and that town is small section on the city and so forth. Therefore, street is a really insignificant thing when look from the country view. However, it is ironic that small street has many functions and has deep meaning on each block. Of course there could be more detail stories and businesses in every store such as economic status or services. However, the 5th street’s main functional value makes and recycles the effect of the stores around and along with the street. Assignment #5 Lecture 10.10: Architecture Part 1: Playback In this lecture, the speaker talked about how Architecture is different from the ordinary buildings. Some of the important issues that were mentioned were the common path of the Architecture. I could clearly see what kinds of endings I could face when I looked at the diagram for the common path. Some of the terms that I could not understand were the Green Architecture, Nested Hierarchies, and Technology Integration. Part 2: Look Up Green Architecture – a term used to describe economical, energy-saving, environmentally-friendly, sustainable development. These resources explore the relationship between architecture and ecology, and show how you can use concepts of green design in your own home (http://architecture.about.com/od/greenarchitecture/Ecology_and_Green_Architecture.htm) Nested Hierarchies – nested hierarchies involve levels which consist of, and contain, lower levels. For example, an army consists of a collection of soldiers and is made up of them. Thus an army is a nested hierarchy. (http://www.isss.org/hierarchy.htm) Technology Integration – a term used by educators to describe effective uses of technology by teachers and students in K-12 and university classrooms. Teachers use technology to support instruction in language arts, social studies, science, math, or other content areas. When teachers integrate technology into their classroom practice, learners are empowered to be actively engaged in their learning. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_Integration) Part 3: Speculate Disciplinary – What are some difficulties do architects usually face when design buildings? Professional – By the time we get to graduate and actually work as architects, I do not think there are a lot of spaces for us to design and construct our buildings, how can this kind of problems be solved? Program – What are some suggestion in terms of the path of the CFY of Architecture? Lecture 10.15: Building Construction Part 1: Playback In this lecture, Roozbeh Kangari talked about the difference of Building Construction programs. The presentation’s diagram showed the connections among owner, develop, design, build, and operate. Some of the terms that I could not understand in the lecture were stakeholders, procurement, and HVAC. Nonetheless, although I am an architect major, I could understand a bit of difference between architecture and building construction Part 2: Look Up Stakeholders –a party who affects, or can be affected by, the company's actions. The stakeholder concept was developed and championed by R. Edward Freeman in the 1980s. It has gained wide acceptance in business practice and in theorizing relating to strategic management, corporate governance, and business purpose. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stakeholder_%28corporate%29) Procurement –the acquisition of goods and/or services at the best possible total cost of ownership, in the right quantity and quality, at the right time, in the right place for the direct benefit or use of governments, corporations, or individuals, generally via a contract. Simple procurement may involve nothing more than repeat purchasing. Complex procurement could involve finding long term partners – or even 'co-destiny' suppliers that might fundamentally commit one organization to another. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procurement) HVAC – an acronym that stands for "heating, ventilation, and air conditioning". HVAC is sometimes referred to as "climate control" and is particularly important in the design of medium to large industrial and office buildings such as sky scrapers and in marine environments such as aquariums, where humidity and temperature must all be closely regulated whilst maintaining safe and healthy conditions within. In certain regions (e.g., UK) the term "Building Services" is also used, but may also include plumbing and electrical systems. Refrigeration is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR, or ventilation is dropped as HACR (such as the designation of HACR-rated circuit breakers). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC) Part 3: Speculate Disciplinary – For architecture major for CFY, there are many ways to approach in terms of future, what kinds of approaching or development could BC have? Professional – what kind of difficulties would BC face during the work and throughout the career? Program – I understand that BC manages almost everything on the construction, so would an architect work under the BC? Lecture 10.22: Industrial Design Part 1: Playback In this lecture, Abir Mullick presented in order to clarify the meaning of being an Industrial Designer. From my understanding, industrial design basically designs every single item that are mostly smaller than human body. The work of ID starts from consumer products, electronics, tools, computers, medical products, toys, furniture, and transportation to much more things. Part 2: Look Up Empowerment –refers to increasing the spiritual, political, social or economic strength of individuals and communities. It often involves the empowered developing confidence in their own capacities. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empowerment) Humanization of Technology – portray or endow with human characteristics or attributes to develop the technology; make human (http://www.ask.com/reference/dictionary/ahdict/120134/humanization) Multifaceted qualities – way to combine and put different things together such as objects part and features. (http://www.ask.com/reference/dictionary/ahdict/55209/multifaceted) Part 3: Speculate Disciplinary –What are some crucial guidelines or rules that ID should follow while developing their area? Professional – Is there any difficulties in ID other than being creative and critical of the new objects? Program – Just like architects, ID has a lot of different jobs and careers, which job earns the most salary? Research Project 30~40 entries 1. "Hurricane Katrina." Wikipedia. 11 Oct. 2007.

Assignment #4 Lecture 09.17: Architecture, Culture, and Behavior Part 1: Playback Summary: the guest speaker of this lecture was Craig Zirmring and the topic was about the combination of architecture, culture, and behavior. Throughout the lecture, Dr. Zirmring showed different kinds of map of U.S., which eventually represent the increase of obesity along with years. He introduced many solutions to decrease this obesity including going up the stair case instead of using elevator, having exercise at least for 30 minutes per week. One of the things he mentioned from the lecture was that many Americans die each year unnecessarily simply because they do not get 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week. I am guessing these things happen because of advance in technology. In the future, I hope there are some technologies that humans do need to use their energies instead of machines are doing everything for them. Part 2: Look Up Space Syntax - I thought it is some kind of organization of usage in space Close-knit team – team that is secretly organized especially the ones with close relationship Evidence based design- design done by using information based on evidences. Space Syntax - encompasses a set of theories and techniques for the analysis of spatial configurations. Originally it was conceived by Bill Hillier, Julienne Hanson and colleagues at The Bartlett, University College London in the late 1970s to early 1980s as a tool to help architects simulate the likely social effects of their designs. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_syntax) Close-knit team – held tightly together, as by social or cultural ties (http://www.answers.com/topic/close-knit) Evidence based design - A process used by architects where decisions are derived from intense research and project evaluations. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence-based_design) Part 3: Speculate Pedagogical – what would be the fastest and most efficient way to change them? Disciplinary – How can other people, patients and others with community, get a benefit from this project? Professional – speaker mentioned hospital in terms of evidence based design, what are some other constructions that uses evidence based design? Economical – is there any possibilities that this project can get aids? Lecture 09.19: Photography Part 1: Playback Summary: the guest speaker of this lecture was Ruth Dusseault. She presented the lecture by showing many slides about the end of Atlantic Station. The general topic could be her interest: utopian constructs in architecture. She took the photograph of the transformation of Atlantic Station including its demolition, the environmental remediation, infrastructure development, the construction of a new highway bridge and a four story forty-acre parking deck. Part 2: Look Up Industrialism – I thought it was some system changing based on the industries Topography – some sort of map showing ground Environmental remediation – I had no clue about this word Industrialism – an economic and social system based on the development of large-scale industries and marked by the production of large quantities of inexpensive manufactured goods and the concentration of employment in urban factories. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/industrialism) Topography - the detailed mapping or charting of the features of a relatively small area, district, or locality. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/topography) Environmental remediation - deals with the removal of pollution or contaminants from environmental media such as soil, groundwater, sediment, or surface water for the general protection of human health and the environment or from a Brownfield site intended for redevelopment. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_remediation) Part 3: Speculate Pedagogical – on the video, I saw a lot of unorganized area during demolition, what kinds of changes can be apply? Disciplinary – what are some important factors to keep taking pictures of old buildings? Professional – How can the demolitions generalize the idea of architecture? Economical – how and what kinds of cost is needed to do the demolition? Lecture 09.26: Palladio Part 1: Playback Summary: The guest speaker of this lecture was Mr. Bafna. He basically concentrated on Andrea Palladio’s style of art and the significant on his period. On the presentation, Mr. Bafna showed tons of pictures that depicts many kinds of buildings. It was clear that houses that he shown were somewhat similar: Palladio’s structures do not have many ornaments but absolute symmetries appeared. Part 2: Look Up Villa – I thought it was some kind of village where all these rich people lives. Geometric keynote – I sort of guess that this term might have to deal with shape because it is “geometric” Palazzo – I had no clue what this word mean, sounds similar to Picasso to me when I looked at it. Villa – A villa was originally an upper-class country house, though since its origins in Roman times the idea and function of a villa has evolved considerably. After the fall of the Republic, a villa became a small, fortified farming compound, gradually re-evolving through the Middle Ages into luxurious, upper-class country homes. In modern parlance it can refer to a specific type of detached suburban dwelling. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa) Geometric keynote – a fundamental or central idea of simple geometric forms in design and decoration (WordWeb) Palazzo - Palazzo is more broadly used in Italian than its English equivalent “palace”. In Italy, a palazzo is a grand building of some architectural ambition that is the headquarters of a family of some renown or of an institution, or even what the British would call a “block of flats” or a tenement. Part 3: Speculate Pedagogical – What kinds of influenced did Palladio’s method and structure gave to modern architects? Disciplinary – Why does symmetries and proportions are important to Palladio? Professional – What were some difficulties did Palladio had when he started to become an architect? Economical – Did Palladio suffer from any economic problem while building his structures? Why? Assignment #3 Lecture 09.10 : A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Disability Research Part 1: Playback Summary: The Lecture was about approaching disability projects by Stephen Springle. Generally he showed us some pictures, which include examples, data, and definitions. According to Dr. Springle, this project mainly involves Assistive Technology (AT) and Center for Assistive Technology and Environment Access (CATEA). Dr. Springle also stated that the Disability is having problem in major life activities such as communication, ambulation, and self-care (eating, dressing, and bathing) Part 2: Look Up Each term I found was different from my original definitions. I thought disability only counts for people who cannot do anything like a vegetative state. Also, AT gave me a thought that it could be some kind of program that helps disabilities. And I thought Rehabilitation Engineering was sort of medical treatment for disabilities. Disability - A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activity on individual Assistive Technology - any item, piece of equipment, or product system that is used to increase, maintains, or improves functional capabilities Rehabilitation Engineering - Improve workplace accessibility, create scientific knowledge to address problems faced by workers with disability and facilitate. Part 3: Speculate 1. Do you get any supports from government? 2. Are there any kinds of backups just in case if the income for the product is not high enough? 3. In order to make more efficient and convenient for disabilities, what kinds of risks are you willing to take? 4. How wide in terms of population are you targeting for? Lecture 09.12 : AEC Integration – A view from the Center Part 1: Playback Summary: The Lecture was about modern industry that can be separate into three big divisions: Residential buildings, Non-residential buildings, and Civil (Infrastructure). He explained and showed us picture of historical background for the industries that was a lot different from today’s industries. However, these industries did not changed until the occurrence of the Industrial Revolution from 1750 to 1900. The focus of the presentation was on the change of contract relations, proportioned in the past and present for the funding, and the variety of the delivery options. Part 2: Look Up I thought the supply chain means something like the connection from the market people that supply the product. And I believed that the Life Cycle Costing means the cost of one person throughout living. However, I had no idea what Lean Construction meant. Supply chain - a collaborated system of people, organizations, and activities from suppliers to customers. It transforms components into final products which go to customers. Life Cycle Costing - also called Whole Life Costing is a technique to establish the total cost of ownership. It is a structured approach that addresses all the elements of this cost and can be used to produce a spend profile of the product or service over its anticipated life-span. Lean Construction - Creating a design that blends in with the surrounding environment to create a more harmonic view; the pursuit of continuous improvements of the built and natural environment. Part 3: Speculate 1. Are there any kinds of things that are alike from Industries before Industrial Revolution and after? 2. What kinds of benefits do you get from the design-building? 3. Would one-to-one trading and transforming idea from one to another count as industry? 4. Are there any other plans to make design-building more effective and efficient? Lecture 09.14: Geographic Information Systems: Whenever Where Matters Part 1: Playback Summary: Stephen P. French, Professor of City and Regional Planning and Director of the Center for Geographic Information Systems mainly focuses on GIS for this lecture, which is system that links objects. He showed us a lot of pictures about the development of technologies, and some of the converging technologies included GIS, Remote sensing, GPS, Wireless, Internet. Also, he stated about the beneficial usage of these technologies in urban planning. Part 2: Look Up During the lecture, GIS sounds similar to some sort of army organization to me for no reason. The term, remote sensing gave me a thought that by using sense, one could control the device or sort of technologies. I know I heard a lot from media about GPS saying that it is device to find position but I did not know the exact meaning nor what it stands for. Geographic Information System - A system of hardware and software that links mapped objects to attribute information that describes them and provides tools to store retrieve and manipulate both types of data. Remote sensing - A technology that allows a person to view or access information from a distance that is not a real-time recording. Global Positioning System - the only fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Utilizing a constellation of at least 24 medium Earth orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, the system enables a GPS receiver to determine its location, speed/direction, and time. Part 3: Speculate 1. Is it possible for one to have his or her own GPS privately instead of a company wise? 2. How can GIS benefit other students that architect? 3. Is there any other kinds of devices that act similar to GPS but without using satellites? 4. If someone does come up with more convenient and efficient devices that act similar to GIS or GPS, what kinds of risks or consequences are you willing to take? Assignmnet #2 8. 29. 2007 Lecture Part 1: The first lecture was about 7 architects came from New York, Georgia, and Florida showing their artistic work to make contrast on classical and modern buildings. Each architects had presentation about their sketches and various work such as Palazzo dei Conservatories, Veranda Park, and etc. They used the terms like Schematic Drawing and Elevation Buildings. Part 2: From this lecture, 7 architects were based on their own concepts, which were different from each others. They did have similar ideas but the perspectives in the classical architecture were different. Jeremy Sommer mentioned his reference as historical concept. His work is classical and not even close form modern architect. Stefanie Wahl, I remember that she graduated from the Georgia Tech, is working for Hanison Design Associates, which refers to Mantel Design – private residence. Trey LaFave said that he works for old houses and classical impairer designs. William Rutledge works for Fairfax & Sammons and he introduce the traditional architecture from modern. Part 3: Pedagogical: 7 architectures from all over the United States were amazing, but I wondered would it be different from studying here at Georgia Tech and other colleges from different states? (In terms of perspective of certain area of architectures) Disciplinary: Why emphasize on the classical architecture while there are a lot of kinds than classical design? Professional: In classical design, there are various types, how can you tell that your perspective and types of classical design is better and advantageous from others? 8. 31. 2007 Lecture Part 1: This lecture was about the Solar Decathlon, which many engineering colleges have international competitions to find which most efficient and solar power supply house. Sponsor by the Department of Energy, the goal for the Solar Decathlon is to build a green house that fits a number of criteria. And the main point of the project was the firmness and commodity of the house. Part 2: Grey water is non-industrial wastewater generated from domestic processes such as washing dishes, laundry and bathing. Comprises 50%-80% of residential waste water, grey water is distinct from black water in the amount and composition AWPL or Advanced Wood Products Laboratory is computer-aided manufacturing of wood utilizing machinery like a CNC mill to design and create specialized wood for structures. Part 3: Pedagogical: what kinds of support would these kinds of structure get on night? Disciplinary: Solar power is definitely useful, how come there is only few? Professional: Is there any way to cut down the price to build the house with efficient and minimum materials to build the house? 9. 5. 2007 Lecture Part 1: The power point presentation lecture was about the CADCAM, which translation of the real world to the virtual introduced by Tristan Al Haddad. He explained how digital design and manufacturing works. He also mentioned about the use of computer software “translation,” which means to communicate with computer programs. He also emphasized on the future usage of this architectural techniques. Part 2: Local variation refers to a small part of the project and its details and diverse in each component of the project. Combinatorics is a branch of pure mathematics concerning the study of finite objects, relating many other areas of mathematics, such as algebra probability theory, ergodic theory and geometry. Part 3: Pedagogical: How would you teach the Architecture to use this kind of programs? Disciplinary: How does new technology affected to build houses for architects and designers? Professional: I know that this technology is powerful and useful to modern, what are some limitations that the technology has? Assignment #1 Wooden Installation This installation is obviously made out of wood. I do not know exactly what kind it is, but it sort of looks like a plywood. From the front view observation, it sort of looks like a wave from the sea. Each piece is different shape but every single of them are connected to the first, second, and third floor chair looking things. Almost all of them are connected with this long steel rod and some of them are sort of separated by bolts in between each wood. Chairs on each floor are made out of same kinds of wood and they look a bit separated from the original wood structure from the first floor. I do not know what kind of motivation did this designer have but it is a great looking chair/ wall. Some of the problems that he or she might encounter are how to cut every single of pieces and put them in the order. I cannot imagine how someone can even think about these kinds of amazing installation. It is brilliant and as I mentioned in first paragraph, it sort of looks like a sea wave from the bottom of the first floor. Therefore, I would like to name this installation "the sea wave chair." Plastic Installation This structure is made out of long plastic pads together. The installation start with about 150 piles of plastic and it kind of reminds me of a roller coaster. These piles of plastic are all sort of separated and get wider and wider and in between each plastic piles, another piles of plastic figures. It is absolutely artistic and the shape of the plastics in between piles is unique. There are many bolts in between piles of plastics. This installation kind of gives me an idea of "trying to reach the sky." The structure gets more crazy and complicated. I sort of feel bad for the designer of this installation because I know that he or she had a hard time to design this structure. If I only see the bottom part, It is just bunch of plastic piles put in together but as I move my eyes towards left, I did not know where to look first. I think the designer had some kind of trouble in his or her life and wanted to express that craziness by designing this artistic installation. Since it looks like it is trying to reach the sky, and from my imagination about the designer's story, I would like to call this installation "the crazy sky." Link to this Page
