Update on my ride!

My car has been sanded.
I'll let you wonder what colour I'm gonna spray.

Chao.

Winter Break Project

Since Im having winter break now and I have nothing to do, so my next project will be my car.
I know you guys are wondering how did i send my car to the workshop while I'm still in Perth.
Well, thanks to my dad :) hehe

This time round, I'll completely change the look of my car.
I wont tel what Im gonna do.
Just wait for my update mid of July.
Its gonna take around 1 month to do everything.

Owh, poor baby.

My bonnet cutting job is completed!
Im giving a tip, Im installing RS tail lights that require the cutting of my bonnet.

Dents are fixed.

Cant wait to get it done n see how it looks like.

Final Folio

Sunrise is beautiful, isn't it?
Yea, i stayed up everyday just to see the beautiful sunrise.
YA RIGHT!!
I've never even seen a sunrise when i was in secondary school, what to say when i was in KL.
But things are different in Uni, especially doing Architecture. Staying up late till morning, seeing sunrise, 3 hours nap in the noon, seeing sunset, and next thing you know, its another sunrise again. But, it doesn't mean i don't like it. Im enjoying every bit of it.

So, there was 1 and a half week for final folio.
It was about designing a Photography Centre to promote arts of photography in Perth and also as an iconic building that could bring life and activities into the site.

I spent 4 days on Autocad drawings to get my plans, sections, elevations and laser cutting layout done. Things might look simple here, but actually its not.

Thank God for laser cutter. Last year i cut and made all my models with my own hand which needed at least 2 days to complete.
But this year, things were done by laser cutter that cuts perfectly in less than half an hour time.
What i need to do was sticking parts together like puzzle.

Again, it looks simple. But I had difficulties too. For example joining and sticking this tiny staircase.
Its impossible for me to cut them without machine.

Spray paints for our model

My model was erected at 5.55am.
5 minutes to sunrise

At 8.18am, the pool as the roof was done.

Different view

At 10am, i went home for a 3 hours nap.

Window frames as gutters and columns were done at 5.36pm.
Final touch was the blue transparent perspex and was the hardest part.
It took me hours to get them done.

When i finished my model, it was already Tuesday night. I only had Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning to finish my drawings which was a bit impossible.
So without wasting time, i started my drawings right after.

My living room, full of rubbish.

Ryan's speakers that kept us awake the whole week.
We blasted songs as if there were no neighbours around.

Living room, where my friends got their rest after doing work in Uni

I did my drawings quite rushly because of the time left.
I was supposed to render most of my drawings but because time passed so fast that just a snap, it was Friday already.
I only managed to render 2 drawings at the very last minute before submission.

Perspective drawings of my design (exterior and interior)

After rendering

All drawings were drawn on A1 size paper which is really huge and hard to deal with.

Plans and Sections

Rendered site plan

Was kinda disappointed because i didn't get to finish rendering them. If i could render it, it could be a better folio.

Overall, Im happy with this design, except the rendering part.
So what do you guys think?

The End of Semester 1

Im done with Semester 1 of this year and what's next?
7 WEEKS BREAK!

I only had an average of 3 hours of sleep a day for the past week. I stayed in uni till 9am and went home for a nap till 12pm. At 1 pm, I went back to uni and stay till the next day 9am again. I've been doing that everyday for the past week.
What i can say is, Im really exhausted.
However, i actually had fun designing, drafting, rendering, and model making for my final folio despite having so little sleep.
Most importantly, everything was paid off after my teacher said, 'you've done a good job, Yeehow. You came up with a great scheme'.
OMG....
the feeling was like, RELIEF. ORGASM. TIRED but HAPPY.
Your mind is so tired and couldn't think of anything else but his COMPLIMENT.
Even you sleep, you dream of his compliment and smile.

After all, i hope he didn't say it just to please me or he said that to everyone.
I just want a HD.

I'll post up my final Digital Design project and Final Folio soon. Stay tuned...
