School....

Wow....Everything seemed to have been going smoothly. Everything ive done, everything ive made...i thought it was good at least notable...but i just got an email from my modes teacher (design) that im practically failing....Im pretty much at loss as to what to do....Well my modes teacher does hate me...and i havent uploaded everything on to Kepler (which is the place where everyone has to upload all their work )So....I dont know..it might be a plan to get me to upload it which in this case worked.....Math and humanities ive been not doing that great...But this has been a disappointing semester in general....Im so emo right now....sigh...and its 2:30 in the morning too....not a good time to be emo...I feel like im stuck in limbo right now.......Hopefully everying will work out...

Josh Lee sighing off.....................sigh....

My Cafe and the Slow House

As i said in the filler (or at least i think i did) Ive been busy making a cafe and making a digital model of the Slow House by Diller and Scofidio....well Ive come here to tell you...I AM DONE!
Yes for many moons i toiled at my computer creating this masterpiece, so ladies and gentlemen i present to you without any further delay, my cafe and the slow house!

Ok!~ so my concept for my cafe was Landscape (like topography) and contours (which are like layers or sections) Even though my chair has vertical contours i wanted to contrast it by making the cafe have horizontal contours. Those are my line drawings the second picture is my floor plan and the third one is just a section cut dividing the cafe in half. ( If you want to see the pictures better click on them :D)

The cafe was suppose to be in a 40x100x25 shell. So the first picture is the cafe in a axon view without the shell. The next two pictures are just renders of the inside, without any materials besides the glass floor in the main floor of the cafe. (I just told my crit the materials were concrete and metal :D)

Now for the Slow House!~
Im also pretty sure i talked about the house in one of my previous blog posts. Well...if i didnt...ill just give a small outline of what it is. Well first off its a vacation home! Made for a Japanese art collector but sadly the art market crashed making his art collection worthless so he had no money and no funding. The house was only built up to the foundation...its probably gone by now. But anyway Koji Itakura who was the art collector said he wanted a house with a "view" so Diller and Scofidio being the crazy artist that they were started questioning the idea of a "view." What is a "view"???? (well i dont want to get into what they thought it was so ill just fast foward or something...) This house sort of controls the "view" and causes slow arousal the farther you get into the house thats why its called Slow House! wooo!~

This house took me a whole night to make and i mean no procrastination. It was just like straight work all night for 8 hours. Then Jane Kim (my crit) just came over that morning and found fault with various things X.X She just enjoys owning me. Everyone just looks at me and shakes their head in pitty.......CURSE YOU JANE KIM!!!!!
