[Reading Response 2] Imagining Urban Futures By Carl Abbott

3036228385 Cheung Chun Yu In most of the movies, cities are always described as a moveable space. The cities in these films look like robots or a massive public transport system, for example trains, ships, fleets. Cities are moving to search for the best living place and the most resources for people to live. Besides, some cities are built outside the Earth. In some movies, the Earth is already not a great planet for people to live on. It lacks resources and suitable places for people to live.   Another characteristic of the future city is that it is well

Using different circle shapes elements in the city to document the life of people. I want to find different circle shaped things in Man Wah district as the topic, Using this specific shapes of things to represent the  daily life of human. I think something like circular architecture structure, candy, traffic light may appear in the video.  Circle is one of the most typical shapes for designing things used in daily lives.     3036228385 Cheung Chun Yu

Moving House Reflection – Chueng Chun Yu

Posted on u3622838

The movie talks about the contrast between the redevelopment of the city and the traditional value of respecting the dead people. It also shows how dense Singapore is.  The coffins of the dead people are similar to the apartments of the dead people. It is their own private space for them. Singapore doesn’t have enough space for apartments for both living people and dead people. 3036228385

Workshop 2 Exercise

Posted on u3622838

Being tired on a rainy night is a sad and desperate thing. So I think using a black and empty street as a background can show the emotions of the character. The man in the image is looking down and holding no umbrella. This also implies that he is very tired. Even though it is raining outside, his tiredness stops him from opening an umbrella.   Picture: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*J_HcVqIS0foSvZOi6GItmQ.jpeg / https://medium.com/@amirasofi21/a-man-standing-in-the-rain-at-night-a-picture-by-matt-stewart-shutterstock-digital-art-79643b9602b6 Cheung Chun Yu 3036228385

[Reading Response 1] Spatial Stories by De Certeau

Posted on u3622838

Spatial Stories by De Certeau discusses the difference between tour and map, as well as spaces and places. I believe that these components ultimately form diverse narratives, and influence how an individual interprets an architectural space. A “map” shows the places of each element in the area and their exact location, illustrating how the surrounding environment looks like. Meanwhile, “tours” is the experience of people exploring space, and is more subjective. When we are navigating through a space, it is impossible to experience the whole space at the same time. Our perception is limited to our field of view. We
