Peer Review, week 2-3

Peer Review- Week 2-3

I talked to three people from different groups about the works that they have done in the past 2 weeks. They were all working on Architecture Reality.
The first person who I talked to was LinBing Chen (Fatina). She had started her thinking from passing through the nightmare to the place which is safe then she kept pushing her idea to create a place which is safe and comfortable, a place that can clearly show the confusion phase (The place in between) between the real world (state of being fully awaken) and the dream world. I like the idea that how she had used three different colors with different transparency levels so that the person inside would physically experience what had been experienced by our brain virtually before. The movement of the transparent balls inside the main ball is interesting. The entrance is good. The only thing that I think might get better with reconsidering is the fur that had been used in the building. All in all, interesting work :)

The second person who I talked to was Louie Tong. With this design he wanted to show that as we waking up everything is dark and all our senses are shocked, everything is black but as we fully wake up things get more clear. The site that he chose was next to Bravo Hospitality with shops and stores underneath. He showed it in his design by scripting the black box in a way that it expands as the person wakes up and things inside come out of the darkness and show themselves, things that are important like shops selling food and etc. everything that a person needs after waking up. The thing that got my attention in this design was the way the box used to expand from a tiny black box to a big black box.



The third person who I talked to was Kibeom Parke. his design he was trying to bring the reality to the reactive architecture in second life. He started moving on from thinking about barriers between the buildings which move every day and the path will be changed. That was quite interesting that how the path would be unexpected like in real life. Then he pushed his idea further more to a design showing how a person from the feeling of secure (the place of waking up) gets to the feeling of insecure (the real world out there). As he pushed his ideas further more he created a building that its walls would gradually disappear and go away as the sun rises and a new day begins. He was trying to show how someone would wake up going from the closed space (the dream world) to the open space and the real world. I liked the idea that how the walls surrounding the person would go away and the world outside, in this case the sea and the sunrise would appear. It is like as we wake up, we see the world and the light.
