Architecture Portfolio 1

Recently I am learning how to create a better portfolio for applying for master degree of architecture.

I am searching many different kinds of materials to enhance my techniques.

So, I am happy to share them with you guys. Just have a look. Maybe it is not immediately useful to you now. But the work that these guys did is really fabulous.

As we all known, architecture is an extremely hard subject. No one can do it well if they don't spend heaps of time on it.

From hand drawing, softwares to verbal presentation, etc, these tools need us to keep learning for ever. 

I just feel that I have wasted lots of time when I watch these geniuses' work. Now I am facing graduation. But, honestly, compared with them, I don't think I can do as awesome as them. What they have learned is what I need to learn now.

However, fortunately, it's not too late to start.

I am already on my way.

When mine is done, I will upload to let you guys see.

So, now, let's have a look at the first guy's awesome work.

German Shepherd Dogs

Today, I just want to introduce the lovely and smart and beautiful German Shepherd Dogs.
Maybe you already have one, or maybe you never ever have a dog as a pet in your life.
But, please believe me that dogs are human beings' best friend is absolutely correct saying in the world.

When I went oversea for study, my parents got a German Shepherd. This is their first dog.
Before, my mother is a lady who is totally afraid of dogs, especially those with huge figures. 
However, after they get along with the dog for just 2 months, they love him so much.
Everyday, there must be only one thing remains in my mother's brain, that is, taking care of her new sweetie.

Ok, first of all, let's start with my movie. The photos were taken when I was at home for holiday. He's around 1 years old.
Is he lovely?

Next, give you a little knowledge of German Shepherd.
The German Shepherd Dog (GermanDeutscher Schäferhund), also known as an Alsatian or just the German Shepherd, is a breed of large-sized dog that originated in Germany.The German Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog, with its origin dating to 1899.

Bao'an International Airport

The parametric design in the field of architecture is more and more popular. In China, the new rapidly developing country, lots of large scale construction is looking for parametric design. And Bao'an Internation Airport is one of them, which is designed by the Italian Practice-FUKSAS.
Bao'an is located in Shenzhen, which is a very developed city of China. Because of the large number of circulation of people, the city does really need a well-built and well-equipped terminal for transition.

Eventhough the idea is terrific, lots of real limitations, it have to be built in three phrase. The first phrase is expected to be completed by 2015.

So let's look forward to experiencing 'the piece of wave'.

Soft Chinese Music

Here is a Chinese music played by Yue Chen.
It is such a beautifully poetic imagery.
Just so peaceful, when I listening to this music.
It is so incredible that the power of culture is so strong. No matter how many years past, the bond is still there. And the people who live in contemporary, still feel the coherence, which I think is the spirit.

Traditional Chinese Architecture

It is a very easy and clear video showing the way that how a traditional Chinese architecture is built, with a soft and traditional Chinese music as background.
Hopefully, it can help you enjoy the process.
