Architectural Drawing workshop: Boati House

Welcome to my archithectural drawing section. This is my final submision.


The first photo is my six plans of Boati House. I used a 3D background of a cyclone which looks rotating up from inside the paper, indicates the sequnce of the levels. The pieces of the cyclone getting bigger from bottem up, which enhanced the feel of distance and rhythm.

In the middle of the presentation drawings is my perspective drawings. It shows the breath taking scenery around the house from a unique angle. A girl is sitting on the edge of the house, enjoying the romantic view. Buildings are not only providing space, but more importantly, experiences.

The third picture is accturally a well crafted shelf, holding information cards about the section and elevation of the house. I used a traditional Chinese art technique to creat the shelf, which made it more creative.

Architecture in motion, 20 seconds movie.

Hello everyone, welcome to my falling space and please enjoy the expeirence travelling from up to the sky down the sea.



When you were tring to approch the house, it was already under the rain of fire. The window, used to be perfect, was buring and breaking into pieces. But there seemed to be no other way, you had to rush in.



The situation inside seemed no better than the outside, the wall start cracking up, growing like wild grass.



Knowing it not a good idea to stay, you start clambing up the stairs.



There was no door on the second level, but the window looked more likely to be used to get through, rather than cicling air.




Shinny, you can hardly adjust your eyes. When you finally could saw some thing once again, you see feather, falling softly down the snow white sky, like flower leaves. However, you can also saw the window on the other side, is breaking down.



Back to the space again, you noticed something went wrong.



The whole house had been burned into ashes, going to be blowed away.



Escape, you thought. Steping down the already burned stairs, try to run away before the space collapse.



This must be the way out.



Cold, presure, can't breath. you sudenly find that you are swimming with fish and even sea horse. But it was obviously not the time to talk about these, the window on the other side was collapsing.



What was the most unfortunat? You find yourself back to the space again! Fire from out side windows lighted the ashed floor, you know it is too late.



The space it self start collapsing, together with your body, you can feel the cracks spread through your skin. Is that the end? You ask.



Destroy, is another kind of relive. Someone said.



you closed your eyes.



The end.

Project for the Altlest of Colours: The Rejoin of Memories

The Rejoin of Memories
by Ma Siyuan (Max)

Welcome to my project for the Altlest of Colours: The Rejoin of Memories, the big party of my pieces of memories.

In this project, I created five caractors, each of which represent one stage of my life time from preschool to university.

The picture on the left is the coverpage of my book, on which lies five of me happily togeter, this picture reflected the title, the five pieces of my memories rejoined.



On the back of the cover page, one of my previous artworks. I put it here because it shows my understanding and preference of colours.
















Home work for week one, using five colours to make a picture showing your colour theme. My colour theme is gray, so I used three degrees of gray, a intenced red plus the colour of lines, black.














Actural work 1



Acyural work 2


On the other side of the back cover, is one of my favorate songs: Duvet, with it's original background.



Another home work, a space from memory with colours. I selected a very nice cafe in my home town, where I often went to with my father.




The navigation of the book is quiet simple: physical lock. The book is structrally designed that, only one piece out of the 5 pieces of book can be picked out from the "whole book".






This is the first piece of my book, Max in university. Gray is the theam colour for this piece, I also did some colour designs for it.







The second piece, Max in primery school. Because at that time, I first started drawing pictures, I used many soft and dream like colours to represent the colourful world in my head.

The fourth piece , Max in high school. Chinese high schools are famous for its extream preasure of study to students, which made me silent and worring. Thus, I chossed purple as the theam for this piece.





In this piece, I placed two of my best art works, because their theam colour are also purple.






























































Here comes the last piece of my book, Max as a little one. According to my parents, I was a very nasty trouble maker at that time, and all what they said were proved when I saw some of my early photos by chance, it was really "horroble".
So in order to suit my nauty appearance, I used a lot of mixed colours, and many funny small pictures.



Hand writing home work, I wrote some key words to find the secret chamber in piece 2.



On the other side of the hand writing is the water colour loss drawing.



This piece an also be expanded into a 3D modle.



Cosplay from computer games.
