Joint Critique 2

The JC1 aka Joint Critique 1 when very smooth as i didnt get to present but it when good as not everyone have to do the presentation.
We dont have exam so we call it critique, as it is a form of presentation then we have to present our design concept etc. to the lecturer for our grading systems. So biggy as it is still the start but im about to die soon in like 2 or 3 weeks time as the time we have is really very limited !

Currently this project is doing for a client profile as others known as persona, a puppet players company performing all kinds of puppet and the architecture will be taking the culture influences and invoke into the design concept or scheme. Pretty tough now huh ?

Oh well i got a rough idea of what i currently wanted already but im currently going to get some consultation and get some feedbacks of what the lecturer thinks about my concept ideas and see what is the outcome at the same time i need to draft out lots of plans and stuff as it will help me in my next presentation as i need to put up double the time to finish up all the stuff such as submission drawings.
When i say submission drawings it will be all the sewage and drainage connection of the building to the manhole or drainage, and yes ! Architects have to think of this consideration so sometimes if a building design sucks, half the time is because of all this stupid little tiny tweeks and hiccup we have to manage and half the time is just that the architect sucks !

I wont say im the talented type of design person but im more to the hardworking side. When i said this to my colleague in during my ITP (Internship Training Programme) They told me... "GOOD!! When you come out to work, it is hardworking that is counts, in fact when u graduate even from PHD in architecture you come out to the industry, you will not even start to design a building already you will be still appointed as a architect not a senior associate or the project director where u overlook and be the main designer of the whole project !"

Oh well... Lots of things to do for the next few weeks and good bye to my social life again ! Welcome back to Singapore and welcome back to Architecture life.
I missed California big time already !
