Creation of a 'seating device'

LOL at the title ! :P

Before I present about my day ( so tai sai :P ), I'll give you guys a little introduction about The School of Architecture of University of Tasmania. The School is located at the Iveresk district ( known as the Art district ).

Inveresk

The School of Architecture. It was originally a tram warehouse and it was converted into an eco-friendly building housing the School of Architecture thus protecting the heritage of the building. Due to it's eco-friendly theme, the building has won many significant architectural award. The School was opened to her first batch of students in 2007.

The corridor in the School of Architecture. Magnificent eh ? ;)

The place where my class is usually held.


Lmao, a crane in the middle of a computer lab. This is part of the preserved heritage. Do notice that all the computers are Macs ;)

Ok, I'm done with the introduction. MOVE ON !!

Today during our Design Studio 1 class, we were given a project to design and install a 'seating device' in a designated area in front of our School of Architecture . My first few thoughts was like, wtf how are we suppose to design and build a chair in 3 hours !?? O_O plus, my group members were like not cooperative. The ang mos one gang and we and guo yi one gang ( Guo Yi is from KL, formerly Kuen Cheng High ;) ). We were sort of divided so it was not good at all :(

Firstly we have to brainstorm ourself to think of a design that will suit the environment around it. Cracked the nut for quite some time and our lecturer, Dr Catriona Mcleod told us it was about time to build our 'seating device'. I was like crap, we didn't even drew our design ! ( blame those fags >_> ). In the end, we went to search for suitable materials and BAMMM, spontaneously we fixed up some junk out. With a little modification from top to bottom, it turned out not bad ^^ To think that we didn't even actually designed it in the first place and it ended up to be beautiful and not to mention comfortable !! ^-^

Then, we placed our couch ( yes, we made a couch but just no cuishions :P ) in our designated area and hulala, it was perfect ! Sort of >_> . The breeze and the awesome view we picked was the perfect cast with the way couch was designed ! Here's are a few pictures of our progress.
