Exb_Bartlett Summer Show 2010

Each year the Bartlett summer show is always overwhelming and packed of people, overwhelming by the amount of students work and amazed by the quality of the presentation in the same time.  I could say maybe its the biggest architecture school exhibition in London or UK.

Over 400 students from 1st year to diploma 5th year, and assumed more than 3000 drawings are shown in every single inches of space, the massive production and the energized creativity are always enjoyable in the event. The school is crossing over different disciplines which make it more attractive for all the people to evolve.  Hand craft making, film and animation, digital fabrication, hand sketch drawings, CG graphics, 1:1 scale production, photos, interactive media...etc. I would rather say this is more like an architecture carnival than just a year show, you feel the passion, the ambition, the creativity all coming from the students work. 

Tape Installation

This installation work that posted on http://www.zeitgeistudios.com  is the most stunning innovative work that I have seen recently after the UK Pavilion. Its an architectural installation that is involved with material, inhabitable space, body engage, structural and aesthetics.  A spider web like material and cocoon like textures give it a bizarre expression all simply made from everyday essential, plastic tapes. This approach reminds me to criticize some of the digital manufacture form that is all end up with CNC milling or cross knotted structure which is always stand still, heavy and bulky of new crazy geometries. I appreciate Numen had step forward of the flurry neo architecture language that is indeed NEW!!

Speed Of Light

Speed of Light celebrates the tenth anniversary of broadband in the UK. Stripped back to its essentials, optical fibre is a thin strand of glass, with nothing more than a flickering beam of light traveling along it. United Visual Artists have used this beam as the starting point for the work.

Speed of Light consists of 6 site specific installations connected through light and sound. The story begins with an input from the audience, which is transferred into a pathway of light, leading through the atmospheric environment of the Bargehouse. The continuous line of light evolves through each installation in turn shifting in intensity and form. Speed of Light uses over 148 lasers across four floors and six rooms of the Bargehouse, a raw and industrial warehouse on the South Bank

Exb_Westminster Uni. summer show

This is the architecture design annual show of Westminster University, a school that has unit scheme which gives a variety. The best studio this year will still go for DS14, an unit lead by Susanne Isa, which usual focus on man made leftover, forgotten landscapes, their approach  of creating a sort of bizarre and phenomenal space that is expressing directly by their drawings, the darkness, underground, bunker like graphics does tell the story. 

Exb_Ban-Doh

This is an exhibition of Taiwanese artist in UK, the variety of the work crossing fashion, product, media, graphic, a small exhibition but its indeed encouraging for the young designer to have a stage for them to show off, its a beginning and will be a good start for the future Taiwan design industry to be more well known. I submitted my project but unfortunate didn't got selected, I'll keep trying and hopefully one day can be part of this event.
