Denial of Perspective
No Comments January 29th, 2006

Stumble upon this in Exibart It’s really not that hard to do this kind of art if you think about it. Project a design onto something and trace it exactly, including the stratching areas. The concept is cool and although it would be interesting to see actual photographic art, say an image of a tiger, [...]

Tamiya Model - Tadao Ando Koshino House
2 Comments January 27th, 2006

Found this image in PushPullBar, and I think it is a hoax. So what do you guys out there think? Architecture models by Tamiya?

Lebbeus Woods - Experimental Architecture
No Comments January 22nd, 2006

Woods is as much philosopher and urban planner as architect in the traditional sense. His buildings rip open the landscape of the ordered grid, and also open new possibilities about what it means to inhabit a space. The functions of some of his ideas for buildings are obscure even to him. He is constantly trying [...]

Berlin’s Palace of the Republic

    Colophon

    Currently studying Architecture in Curtin University, Western Australia. Calvin loves web designing and photography, occasionally he blogs about his thoughts and opinions.

    Every morning he refill himself with weird energy-inducing substances known as coffee and tea and then off saving the world, I mean studying and blogging of course.

    The author is not a CAD expert nor a web genius. Just another guy spending too much time online (believe me, way too much). The tutorials featured here are meant for basic level understanding.
