Row, Row, Rover Chair

The miniature model of a designers chair. Mine was the Rover Chair by Ron Arad. It took me a whole weekend to finish this one up.

Materials used : Synthetic leather from my mom's old handbag, Insulated metal wire, Aluminium sheet, 6mm diameter ABS pipe, Green styrofoam, MDF board for the base, and Perspex plate for the box.

Not the final board. Couldn't find the final one.

The final product. Axonometric view

Elevation

Miniature chair model done. Next up full scale furniture model. Yikes! Hope everything goes well...

Clearing The Air As One Would Say

Visual A2 size! Since we just learned about air conditioning system in Technology class, we had to do an exploding drawing of an air conditioner. I chose the split unit air cond. This time I tried to make something different with my marker rendering. It started out well but then alas, my grey marker ran out of ink. WHY!!! Why now of all time...

It's a little empty as I couldn't find any labeling for an AC system online. Haha.

The rendering wasn't up to my expectation but I'm still new to this kind of rendering. I'll practice more on this for the future. As soon as I buy new grey markers.

Archirapture : Singapore Finale

For this final post of the archirapture series, I'm gonna post interiors instead of exteriors and architecture.

Feature column...? The word 'slide' spiralling upwards to create an attraction

This is an indoor slide located at Changi Airport. Three stories high. Awesome!

Stamp covered feature wall in this makeshift post office in The City

Resting lounge and reception counter sandwiching the entrance

Rustication. Coffee shop 

Huge lanterns giving the area a nice golden hue

Split levelled dining area in Marina Bay Sands Hotel

Curvilinear lines that stems from the ceiling all the way to the center of the mall

Raindrops falling on my head. Using mosaic or some small shiny metallic tiles

Coloured glass panel on the roof...

Creating this effect on the floor. Neat, eh

Information pod

Information wall designed using old newspapers. Recycle

Surrounded by greens. Feels like going through a forest

Reuse plastic bottles by turning them into a feature for the wall

Rustic copper coloured metal in the shape of what I assume to be Singapore's skyline

Nostalgic feel using interactive information media

Art Science Museum reception counter. Vertical lines

Interactive media, hanging sculptures/art and curved wall

Shadow casted by the banners inside the museum. Don't know whether it is the intended effect or what

So that wraps up the Archirapture : Singapore series. Hope you enjoyed your journey through 80 different buildings in Singapore and 20 interesting interiors with me.

Archirapture : Singapore round 4

We're almost at the end of the Archirapture series. This time I'm going all in for buildings and architecture. Here we go!

Honeycomb-like design for the balconies

Looks like an old western-style cinema to me

SOTA with green walls. Talk about going green

Kinda like the modern rustic incorporating glass, concrete beams and different coloured wood

Our hostel, the Bunc@Radius. Going traditional/vernacular

Wanderlust bar or something. Lighting up the traditional style with lights and a little splash of colours

Chinese food court with intricate panel as a facade

Summer beach house. Nah, something I took whilst on the train

Hollywood! Greek style temple front facade with intricate carvings

Old movie theater styled attraction at the Universal Studios

Brightly coloured entrance with elmo on a bland, stony background

New York Museum of Natural History in Singapore

Welcome to the dockyards. Shipping dock buildings

Fairy tale like castle in the land Far Far Away

Spooky church. Still having the basilica like structure

Red and black shop among the white. Way to be different

Kinda looks like jumbled-up letters

Entrance to a Chinese temple maybe...? Wait, in the middle of Orchard Road?

Modern building with a traditional Chinese roof at the very top. FUSION

Reminds me of the old residential quarters, especially with the bicycles in front

Kopitiam? The wooden traditional style windows does give a hierarchy on this one

Despite having a lot of modern, glass buildings and skyscrapers Singapore doesn't neglect is traditional buildings. In fact, these traditional buildings, especially the shoplots gives the place a little more character and depth. It is truly splendid!
