The unbuilt is the fantasy that underlies everything

Where space was considered permanent, it now feels transitory - on its way to becoming. Note from Rem Koolhaas, guest-editor of Wired, June 2003 

The unbuilt is the fantasy that underlies everything." -  Article in Wired, June 2000

A building has at least two lives - the one imagined by its maker and the life it lives afterward - and they are never the same.

The ultimate goal of the architect...is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture... should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.

[Week 4] Animation

Pictures of the developed Sketchup model

This is the overall view of my Castle that display the middle and the top level of the building.

A close up shot of the top level's design and its texture 

Displaying the spiral stair between the ground level and the middle level.

Another overall picture of the building displaying three levels.

[Week 3] relating video

The opening scene of the tunnel is really attractive . The rapid shift of camera angles and shots do not drive audience dizzy but instead create a fast-pace atmosphere. The varying perspectives show really different views of the architecture, even of the "master" robot. These are some very inspiring elements.

[Week 3] Sketch up Custom material

Applying my three custom material into the developed SketchUp model. The texture "Rusty", "Linear" are used in the model.
