Profane!!

This week topic is quite hard to understand as teacher tells us before class. I catch up some point from lecture about the sacred and profane. From my understanding sacred is like the way that people do for show that they are respect that kind of god, person, place or things and profane is opposite, it is mean that not just respect but also depreciate that respected things. But in term of design profane is not only bad side, the good of it also have which is profaning is make something break out from the boundary of the traditional or culture and make the new things. I didn’t mean that depreciating is good but the effect after it make many question follow that might bad feedback but at less they begin to moving rather than stop and Praise what they had did before.

empty ?????

This week topic is “Empty form” the key point of this idea is like the CD and CD player, architecture is CD player, the program in side is CD, we can insert CD in CD player and let it play the song in that CD, when we bore that song we can take it out and insert new CD again. Empty form is design for the future so the architecture must flexible and can always change. For me, I think this theory is another way for green design because of the architecture must concern to future and it can useable in next 20 year by base on old structure. But for me it quite intangible because we can design for future is some part but we couldn’t know what is gonna be in future its not just the responsibility of first generation architect but also architect in the future that what program can put in this building and how to make it work is best quality too

IMAGINATION-Manifasto

Ask you guy what is she chewing? [Show video]
The answer may be right or wrong, but my point is that your answer needs to use your imagination to perceive it. This is an important concept for linking architecture and the user together.
Architecture is the record of people’s lifestyle, their thoughts, and perceptions in that period of time. Architect is like a book that has its own story but if people do not know how to read, it will be just plain papers. People’s imaginations are not the same, it depends on many factors. Firstly, the main factor is Age. Secondly of the main is a person’s experience. Lastly, will be their lifestyle. All these factors make people have different imagination and perception.
Age, experience and lifestyle effect perception and imagination in different ways. Age can make people living in different time periods, have different thinking methods and point of views that are related to their experiences. This also relates to people’s lifestyle in that time period too. For example, modernism approached the industrial revolution period, where people in this time period had different lifestyles and thinking methods from today, which quantity was important. This includes making money, so modernism architectures will get use to their work. After that, there were world wars 1 and 2, after the wars there were new thinking methods, which became post modernism. In this period, age, experience and lifestyle all have more esthetic. It makes post-modern have different style from modernism.
In conclusion, this class makes me see a more in depth view of the background of architecture and understand how the imagination and perception is important and how its work.
