Our Last Day Of Intersession

Wow! I can't believe this is our last day. It's amazing how much we have gone through, this is the day where our school year of 2013 ends, June 14, 2013. I will miss it, I know it for sure. We've had so many fun, amazing & great memories starting since semester one. I remember the first day of intersession, architecture. At first, I thought this was going to be a boring year but as the days past, I noticed that I was wrong. I was actually having fun. Our memories that was created from this year is something that we should never forget. Then my clique, Pogisa, Fifi, Alejandra, & I. We were some really annoying kids for Rafael I'm guessing, but look at the bright side, we had fun and that's what only matters. Our field trips though, haha I definitely won't forget this. When we would complain over little things, "It's hot" "It's cold" "I'm hungry". I remember how we would tell the chaperons that we're supposed to eat at a restaurant but in reality, we're supposed to bring our own lunch. I want you guys to know that I actually consider you guys as a family, I'm going to miss you guys. Honestly, I really liked this intersession but when talking about learning, I think that Rafael should next time teach his students in a different way, by a different way I mean that he should replace those "movies" that he shows us, It's really boring, I'm not going to lie... Our small projects was something fun. Especially, group projects, It brought us more closer. When voting, we would all agree on who should win, lol. Then when Martin would find at least something wrong with someone's sketch or project & after, Rafael would argue with him. Fifi's pool though. The cook-offs that we would go to, do it for the food. After all, We were one bad-ass class, lol. Basically, I just wanted to say that I am really glad that I had this architecture class, I've learned so much, even outside of class. I'm happy for meeting you guys & glad for having you guys in my life. I'm going to miss our intersession & seeing you guys every day. Hopefully, we get to see each other again.

Thank You Guys For A Great Year! I Won't Forget Our Memories.

Olympic Architecture

The Beijing National Stadium Is An Example Of Olympic Architecture. The Beijing National Stadium Is Located In Beijing, China. It opened in June 28, 2008 by Herzog & de Meuron. This stadium was used for the Summer Olympics in the year of 2008.

I think that this stadium is really creative because it's different from what you see in a regular stadium. In my perspective, this stadium looks like a birds nest because of the lines around the stadium. If you think about it, the lines could be the sticks from a bird's nest. When talking about the look of it, I think that it's beautiful in it's own unique way, the lights make the building sparkle it's beauty.

Fact, the house was actually flooded in 2008, caused by the Hurricane Ike. As for this day, this house became very successful and made it to it's history.

Field Trip

Field Trip: Fox Theater ~

On May 27, 2013, our architecture class had a field trip to Downtown, Redwood City.

As we got there, Rafael, our architecture teacher, told us to sketch the Fox theater from our view. 

Sketch 6.13.13

 Part two from our Sketching from yesterday, June 13, 2013. After being tasked for sketching the front side of our school, we then had to go to the back side of our school building and had to sketch the back part of the school.

Final Project

                                  Final Project: Pavilion  

Our pavilion is called "The Future". The Pavilion that our team created is a structure in a shape of a cylinder because it brings in together two materials, while at the same time, contrasting them. The materials that  are  going to be used for the pavilion would be bamboo and also PVC pipes. As in for the inside part of our pavilion/building, there is going to be two entrances. One side would be used for the movers. For example, it would be used for the people to bring in their materials for their  “show” since our pavilion is going to be used for presentations. One of the doors is going to be a path connecting both structures of the cylinder pavilion. As said before, our pavilion is going to be used for presentations such as art project being showed, small concert, shows, etc., etc. Therefore, because of this idea of our pavilion usage, we decided to add a window with a big width so that people could instead watch the presentation that is being taken, outside of the pavilion as there decision, simple as that. Our pavilion is in two circles and one of them moves, the materials that we are going to use for that idea (one structure of the pavilion moving forward) is going to be tracks on the bottom of the lower cylinder structure. In able to move the lower structure of our pavilion, we will just have this machine in which it will control the movement of our pavilion. Basically, like a train. The direction that the small cylinder structure will be going is back and forward. Twenty feet would be five inches in a ruler and then four feet would be one inch. The diameter of our structure would be four inches and the area would be twelve.five inches. As said before, one inch will equal to four feet.
