<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Albion Cafe, part of the Boundary Hotel located in Shoreditch, London. This chic little cafe is unique in it's own way. It reminded me of being in a Wholefood Store. You are greeted with these stands containing fresh vegetables for sale. As you go in, the first part of the cafe is surrounded by a stacked of organic goods in shelves to be bought before dining or after or if people are just in a hurry to get some healthy lunch to go. The dining area is located beyond the shopping area. I wasn't able to take some photographs inside as I wasn't allowed to however, I have managed to do some surveying and have produced the following drawings.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Albion Cafe and the Boundary Hotel was designed by Conran and Partners. The building used to be a printing press, they have managed to keep the original foundation of the building and have designed something rustic feel of an interior for the cafe, to somewhat connect with the products they sell - organic goods. Raw. Natural. The floor plan above shows the connection from the street to the cafe. Some tables and seats are placed outside so customers can enjoy a nice warm lunch during a sunny day out in Shoreditch. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last weekend, I managed to do what I love doing on my free time. Going to museums and as pretentious as it sounds, appreciating art. This time, I was at the Tate Modern in London and one of the exhibitions I saw was the 'A Bigger Splash' showing a wide range of art work by different artists including the famous 'big splash' painting by David Hockney as seen below and a piece of Jackson Pollock's work.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vwEQHE6s--Y/UQBSs93dx_I/AAAAAAAAAlE/UY4ikuJ6lT4/s1600/IMG_0389.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vwEQHE6s--Y/UQBSs93dx_I/AAAAAAAAAlE/UY4ikuJ6lT4/s320/IMG_0389.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'A Bigger Splash' about how someone's actions can evolve into a piece of art. For instance, Jackson Pollock's work shows that the canvas is a field of action itself. It is where the artist interacts with his or her piece. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-elKI6l4gSg0/UQBS1TkxVSI/AAAAAAAAAlU/CCpTZ2N8_Fw/s1600/IMG_0386.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-elKI6l4gSg0/UQBS1TkxVSI/AAAAAAAAAlU/CCpTZ2N8_Fw/s320/IMG_0386.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">David Hockney, however, is a contrast to Pollock's work. The piece becomes a backdrop to a person's performance, it's almost as if it was a theatrical space giving his audience a window to its fictional world. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My weekend involved a visit to Oxford to survey buildings. It's one handsome city and walking around the centre I admire that anywhere you look is historical. It's almost as if you can see how people in that era used to live. It can be a little creepy in the evening and I won't even be surprised if the city is haunted. haha. Other than that, the architecture is just marvellous. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second photo above is the Radcliffe Library which is originally known as the Radcliffe Camera originated with a bequest of £40,000 by Dr. John Radcliffe, for the building of a new library situated close to the Bodleian. Unfortunately, I couldn't come in to the library as only members are allowed to go in to use the library. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the entrance for the Bodleian Library and to Divinity School within the Bodleian Quadrangle. Oxford University was not a wealthy institution and did not have the resources to build up a collection of new printed books to replace the ones that was dispersed, Sir Thomas Bodley rescued the Library and it was opened in 1602. After Bodley died in 1613, they started working on building the spacious quadrangle of buildings to the east of the Library. The buildings were designed to house lecture and examination rooms.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Sheldonian Theatre designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1664-1668. Its purpose was to provide an appropriate venue for meetings and public ceremonies of the University, and this remains its purpose today.</span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 19px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is also available to hire for recitals of music and other similar functions.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Exeter College, this really reminded me of being in Hogwarts in a way. It's a huge site for students including the halls where they live, lecture rooms, a chapel and a dining hall where they all eat their dinner/lunch together surrounded with oil paintings of head teacher of the college. I actually wish I went to college here. Ha, as if I'm smart enough!</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">What I have noticed is that they like to preserve old things, which makes the city really unique. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For example the Oxford Castle, the Malmaison hotel which used to be a prison. Going in you can imagine how prisoners used to live in their cell. It totally reminded me of the film Shawshank Redemption, it's incredible what they have done to this place. It's a little bit creepy, it's dark and the doors creeked. However, I admire the transformation, putting something modern into something old. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saatchi Gallery located in Sloane Square, London is one of my favourite gallery containing contemporary pieces of art such as;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yoo Myun Gyun, Korean artist (above) made a big structure made out of ink on newspapers, supposedly a floating world. From what I understood in this piece is that the artist is trying to show his own version of the world showing the connection of nature and human society. The newspapers are always filled with real stories about people all around the world. Therefore, the whole concept of this piece is </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">creating a vision that simply explains that our world today is built around the society. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kim Byoungho.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one of the beautiful pieces I have seen. The artist created a stunning sound sculpture, which gives an impression of an exploding star.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kim Hyuen Jun</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the most interesting piece I have seen. The idea behind it is very well executed. The artist created furnitures and sculptures out of the cardboard boxes which makes us think about what we value and why. In a society dominated by shopping, his works deliberately </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">focus not on the prized object but on the packaging in which it comes and one of the few things in society which is freely given but instantly thrown away.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the best day out ever!!! My friends and I went to the Harry Potter Studios and once I got off the tour bus I got really excited and started running towards the doors like a child. I can understand the humiliation I have caused to my friends chasing after me telling me to calm down. But I didn't care, I am too big of a fan to calm down. Screw Disneyland, this the happiest place in the world for me. I have been a fan since my mother bought me the very first book (Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone) because she thought I would like and I did. I fell in love with it. And she bought every book for me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I grew up reading the books and watching the films. JK Rowling did a great job, creating a magical world for everyone to expand their imagination and to escape from reality. Here are some of the photos I have taken around the studio. Seeing the things they have created made me realise even more that this is what I want to do in the future. Design something amazing and see it on a big screen. I was in total awe looking at every detail of the set, props and costumes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The design team did a great job for creating what we imagine from reading the books into reality.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This definitely was the exhibition of the year. Damien Hirst, English artist born in Bristol showed a series of his work in Tate Modern over the summer. I loved it so much I went there three times. Ha. The exhibition provides an opportunity to trace the development of his career and to experience some of his iconic works.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most of the things I have seen relates to death or cycle of life. The pieces were incredible and shocking. Showing some gruesome pieces explaining life, death and survival in a beautiful but twisted kind of way. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The show was brilliant. Yes, even though there were no actors or dancers performing, Damien Hirst really did put on a show! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I actually cannot remember what this project is about... but I saw these photos, I remember making them and how much fun I had playing around with different media to make these cocoon-like structures. I just wanna know what I was thinking at that time!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ah, I remember this. An illustration I made inspired by Barbara Hepworth. We just had a school trip in St. Ives where her house that turned into a museum honouring her work. Just check the link below, she was a brilliant sculptor. If you're in London and next time you go to Oxford Circus look out for the John Lewis department store, outside their building is a sculpture made by Barbara Hepworth herself.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Browsing through my computer...well more like panicking that I have lost a file for my presentation tomorrow so I was digging through every folder in my computer and came across to some of my old work. I have found a few in which I will publish in different parts. I am trying to collect my thoughts what these projects were about.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like the image above, it's one of my anti-animal testing photography for my art project when I was doing my A-levels. Let me just say that I am no heroin addict and that my mother is a brilliant nurse and has given me a few syringes for this project. This image is pretty straight forward. The feather itself symbolises the animal that was used for an experiment. I played around with lights and shadows to create a contrast photo, I wanted to highlight the feather as soft and delicate while </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the medical equipments are dark and almost opaque.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The writing, I wish I could find the original file, right now I'd prefer it without the writing. As I said earlier the image itself is straight to the point. I guess I could've quoted it better but hey, I believe I was 17 at the time *shrugs* I was trying to be deep and really express what I strongly care about - ha.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some hand drawings I made for the Library Room in the Soane Museum, showing details of the furnitures and the concept of the room. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soane witnessed the excavation of an ancient interior during his stay in Rome in 1778, he then visited Pompeii in 1779 and chose the Pompeiian red and it has inspired to design this room. I will be designing a console for this room, I'm still in the process so watch this space. </span></div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PaSeKO8u4Dw/UIRoQyOqHBI/AAAAAAAAAXY/50dM-BJkt1E/s1600/Isometric+.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PaSeKO8u4Dw/UIRoQyOqHBI/AAAAAAAAAXY/50dM-BJkt1E/s320/Isometric+.jpeg" width="263" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The drawing above is an exploded isometric drawing of the British Museum. The museum was established in 1573 hugely based on the collections of Sir Hans Sloane, a physician and scientist. The British Museum opened to the public in 1579. The building was designed and built by an architect name Robert Smirke. His brother, Sydney Smirke then added the Reading Room right in the middle of the Great Court.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every book that was ever written was placed around the Reading Room, it was later moved into the British Library. In the 1990s a competition all over the world was held to re-design the British Museum. Norman Foster won and kept the original structure of the building and added a layer to it, and of course the glass roof that takes everyone's breath away as you walk in. They consulted a mathematician to calculate the glazing of the roof in order for an average weight of a person can stand on it without breaking the glass. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a scale model of the Museum we have created using plywood, mdf and plaster. Long hours and hard effort was put in to this project and coming out with this result is overwhelming. We had no floor plans or measurements so we had to start off with an image and research in order to produce this. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is definitely the most beautiful architectural piece I have seen so far in my life. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the places in London to hang around in. If you are a foodie this is definitely a place to go. This is London's most renowned food market filled with British and international food. But it is not just about food that makes this market so special. It is also the people and the place. It is located next to the London Bridge tube station and the individuals that populate this market are from all over the UK, Europe and all other places around the world. This is a place to explore, discover new flavours and be absorbed in different cultures and unique atmosphere. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is something I have come across while walking around Southbank, London. A Pop-Up architecture of a Mexican restaurant called Wahaca. I was so intrigued by the design and the whole concept of it. Industrial looking, and what I like about it the most is that, it's out of place. It is located next to this beautiful architectural building; The Royal Festival Hall. The contrast of being all formal into industrial is a clever way to attract new costumers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People are queuing up for this. I wasn't hungry at the time but I was so intrigued by it that I want to see more inside, so I asked for a table. Their menu is engraved on piece of plywood, the food was delicious and the waiters are damn sexy. I'm telling you. It's the bomb! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This little English Pub called The Grenadier is known for their Bloody Mary's on Sundays. It is also, apparently one of the most haunted places in London. It used to be a place where soldiers go to, to relax during the 1st World War. Yes it is that old. No wonder why it's haunted. It has been said that one of the soldiers was beaten to death inside when he got caught cheating in a card game. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Pub is tucked away from the busy city of London in Knightsbridge. It is the kind of pub that you must know where it is in order to get to. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is interesting about this pub is that, not only it has been a part of history but also it shows that it has been a part of history. They have kept the original cobbled street and brick walls, vintage cars were parked outside. It's almost as if you're back in that era. It is a very interesting contrast to the modernised city of London.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These drawings above was composed by me and my group for this project. It is a section detail of the bar inside the Pub. The clock is one of the many details that I drew on Vectorworks, see if you can see it in the right scale in the room. This project is for establishing that the London Public House should be a world heritage.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Breaking Bad. I recently got addicted to this show like a drug addict addicted to crystal meth. I started watching season 1 a couple of days ago and now I am on season 4. It is what I have been watching all evening while doing my work...after coming home from university/work. Ha. My life rocks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let me just say that it's very odd to see Bryan Cranston playing a bad man since I grew up watching him as the goofy dad in the show 'Malcolm in the Middle'. But it grew on me. He is such a bad ass! Seriously this show is just bad ass. </span>Patricia Paraynohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12114450845652905212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871096696307377.post-89263895825451664522012-10-19T19:29:00.000+01:002012-10-19T19:29:40.796+01:00Sir John Soane Museum<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #515151; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This museum is tucked away from the busy city of London in Holborn. The British Architect, John Soane designed this house to live in, but also as a setting for his antiquities and his work of art. After the death of his wife in 1815 he was determined to establish the house as a museum and to open it to the public.</span></div>

This museum is definitely beautiful. The details inside of each room, very soft and yet bold. He used a lot of mirrors to reflect light coming from outside to get inside, also to reflect what is in the other room. They are very strict, you are not allowed to take pictures and you must have your phone off at all times when you're inside. You can only carry an A4 (maximum) size of sketchbook, and no pens only pencils. They provide a transparent bag for your belongings but if your bag is too big for it they would ask you to place it in their cloak room.</div>

The drawing above took me about a whole day to do, using vector works, showing the details of the library room. This room has caught my attention because of the lighting inside and the fact that it is the biggest room in the museum. The colour, furnitures and the mirrors definitely played their part to create a dramatic atmosphere.</div>
