They were very pleased with all my presentation materials. The main critic (or rather the things to improve) is matters of complexity and simplicity. There is a need to 'edit' the project to achieve a subliminal simplicity and at the same time achieve great complexity. Yes, this is very difficult. However by overcoming this difficulty will differentiate a great architect from a good architect. I hope that I can get there one day.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div>lionel tehhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07665846614018767438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8631950648166776254.post-5710548725330260252010-11-10T03:25:00.001-08:002010-11-11T23:18:51.002-08:00Production & Catalogue<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 102, 255); ">S2 Week 14 & 15</span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-weight: normal; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">Production</span></span></b></span></span></span></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-weight: normal; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></b></span></span></span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">There has been a few changes to my initial plan for early submission.

It will be located within the urban context of Sydney city (Surry Hills). The inter-woven public amenities (park and retails) allow free access to both Muslims and non-Muslims in and out of the site. Ultimately, the aim of this project is to dwell on the notion of transparency, redefining religious boundary and redefining the manifestation of Mosque architecture within a secular, contemporary and urban context. Subsequently creating a peaceful platform for a greater assimilation (of Islam in the West) to occur.</span><span class="Apple-style-span"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><b>Catalogue Images</b></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;

Surry Hill Mosque gave a clue as to where the Sydney mosque should be placed and potentially replaces the Surry Hills Mosque. Surry Hill is a retail and commercial area with diverse community and crowded with street life. The choice of site will provides a greater platform for integration with significant level of interaction. Sydney Mosque needs to contextualized and be sensitive towards the surrounding therefore this exercise will construct a perimeter and direction for the new mosque.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;

On the other hand, the absence of formal definition also allows for new innovation and intervention. However, I have selected 2 contemporary mosques for this exercise. The few last pages of the presentation below are examples of contemporary mosques today. Beyond these precedents, I have also look into traditional mosques, Islamic buildings, cultural and art centers. </span></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">my presentation panels:</span></span><div><div><embed src="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" menu="false" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" flashvars="mode=embed&viewMode=presentation&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Fcolor%2Flayout.xml&backgroundColor=FFFFFF&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=100622135136-8913982c68e04960a73f07c1a10ae67e&docName=presentation_board&username=lionteh&loadingInfoText=Precedent%20Studies&et=1277217849571&er=79" style="width:500px;height:425px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:500px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://issuu.com/lionteh/docs/presentation_board?mode=embed&viewMode=presentation&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Fcolor%2Flayout.xml&backgroundColor=FFFFFF&showFlipBtn=true" target="_blank">Open publication</a> - Free <a href="http://issuu.com/" target="_blank">publishing</a> - <a href="http://issuu.com/search?q=precedent" target="_blank">More precedent</a></div></div></div>lionel tehhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07665846614018767438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8631950648166776254.post-25450577718521890352010-06-21T08:36:00.000-07:002010-06-23T05:10:51.825-07:0002 Theoretical Framework<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(51, 102, 255); ">S1 Week 5, 6 , 7</span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Due to the nature of my topic, extra care and sensitivity are required.
