 The material I chose is concrete. Concrete is a heavy material which makes the building visually more enormous. The word I used for the above ground building is impulse,  I hope to bring out the shocking feeling of "impulse "through the use of concrete.    

Pre-semester task

a) BOUNDED

  Human are often bounded by social values and expectations from different parties . Hong Kong , where I came from , is a society which values money rather then morality .  People define success as the easiest yet the shallowest explanation , income . After graduating from school , we ended up doing the same thing , making money . There is no need for us to be bounded by theses values . Instead of gaining other's assurance , we should learn to appreciate ourselves . Then , we are free from the invisible prison .



b) SALK INSTITUTE - LOUIS KHAN

   Rather than the building , I prefer this part of the Salk Institute more . Khan's work is peaceful and elegant . This photograph not only shows the above two qualities ,  but also added in a sense of hope .The scenery from this angle varies in weather and time , it always surprise me how architecture can  perfectly blend in the site  . It kept me wondering how amazing it is that despite the Institute remains the same , the experience you have in this architecture is never the same .  

c) SOUL

  They said the eye is the window of the soul . I have this  'weird' habit of capturing the look of a living creature .  The look in the eye tells a million words.
