"Intelligence with Courage" so that "Intelligence can flower."
so speaks our great tutor - taykhengsoon...today was another exhausting but quite rewarding day... there was a guest lecture by this Mexican architect - Alfonso Ramirez Ponce... famous words by the architect:
"we are who we speak - we speak in Mexican, think in Mexican, dream in Mexican... therefore we are Mexican."
"globalisation + localisation = glo-calisation" which is the new state of globalisation today...
and that was where we kinda all got lost...=) but the music was cool la.. and the way the lecturer sang the songs!!! haha. like free concert like that, then still got the projection of the media player visualisation as the background... his grandson also in the audience... quite funny the atmosphere... and the way he used brick. zai... really zai... the spiral staircase in brick! holee-molee...
then there was studio at like 630 loh... wah so drained... then everyone so petrified will get slammed.... but in the end it was alright afterall.... tks really got give helpful comments loh... although it's very hard to accomplish what he expects us to do, but at least got direction... and here comes in the intelligence and courage comment... basically we all are smart enough to do what we set out to do, it is whether we are brave enuff to venture forth! haha. ie when we try to evade the issue (namely studio work.. guffaws) or say we are stuck etc, we are merely wallowing in self-pity and avoiding reality... that got almost everyone in stitches afterwards when we were analysing studio... muha. and the final comment that cracked everyone up was, "singapore is a democracy under total control." muhahah. that's a oxymoron if you ever heard one... hahaha.
so to summarise what i have to do:
argh. what crops am i growing?
how to collect freshwater?
how to utilise the waste materials in the most efficient way?
and do everything in both quantitative and qualitative approaches... wah seh. any helpers out there? hahah. and for those who are not aware... i'm basically designing a floating eco-farm this semester.... way cool. see whether i 'drown' or not...
tks also helped a lot with understanding the relationship between the latin am. music and the style of architecture of Mexico from the guest lect... haha now our guest lect review no need to worry le..=) sweet!
sigh... i think i too shacked le.... my blogging is sounding very stilted.... a lot of things on my mind.... tom got studio.. but mostly go there and listen i guess... thank god today i had my crit le... in the end, the sense of doom that i woke up with this morning turned out quite positively at the end of the day.... hope everyday ends like that. hahah. yawn...~
