It feels like we are the ones who stand alone inside the road, that traffic, people, viruses passing and flowing, they surrounding us, and isolating us. We were so close toward each other, toward our life, until the virus deprives those lively lives and lovely life of us. We are far from each other, far from our life that we couldn’t even control it. It just a drop of oil fall into the water.

Field-Homework 1 // Healthy Parasite

Posted on An Somia

At Home// Interior to exterior I usually don’t take supplements everyday, but I am now. There is a vase of eucalyptus in every room in our home, because we found out that it could stimulate immune system, and it is aesthetically pleasing. People choose to dine at home instead of eating out, almost every living room is lit up during dinner time. What a heart warming scene. The sun is great during the afternoon, it is motivating to wash and clean your house, washed clothes would dry fast and the sun would kill the germs. And it is my slippers’

[Field-Homework 1] Stay at home

Posted on Gao Ningling

Space: Room Camera Location: In-between Part I Wide-angle: By using a wide-angle, I showed a high-density population of the city in a limited view, trying to express the high risk of virus widely spread. Zoom: My camera got closer to tell a story of two “persons wearing a mask,” which must be the normality of everyone these days. Focus: I put the focus on the alcohol cotton prepared for every disinfection back from outside.  Crop: By cutting the original picture, I only left this mask in the sunshine for disinfection. Bird’s eye: A high enough perspective gives me a large

Workshop 3: Interviewing Mike Kwok

Posted on Dongni

Y: Yao Dongni M: Mike Y: Though I’m not familiar with games, I know that most of the games have a mission or task you need to do which attracts people. I wonder whether your game also has some those kinds of things? M: Yes, they have something to solve. For my game, I produce different layers of the architecture, and some of them only make sense when you are at a certain angle. And you have to move to these points to find out what I’m trying to tell, what’s the information I’m trying to present to you. In

Interviewing Finbarr

Posted on King Yeung

My question: What inspired you to present your design through film and animation, but not the typical studio format, like making panels of drawings, physical models? What are the differences you can achieve? Finbarr: I think I always had an interest in film but more from… It is the first animated film… There is a certain freedom to working in a virtual world. So, firstly, the main thing to say about the project is narrative driven and it is very much about the different viewpoints which is particularly hard to do through a physical medium, like how do you tell

Field Trip 3: Lippo Center

Posted on Jieming

Lippo center truly has a peculiar science-fiction futuristic look. At the center, under the magnifying glass is a still of Lippo Centre/HANKA Robotics from the film. In the Google search web page, I found out ironically that it is among the world’s ugliest buildings in some polls. As the Lippo is right next to the Bank of China, as illustrated by the photo, the former constantly reflects the latter with its glass walls. Nonetheless, Lippo is not another Chinese commercial group, since one of its co-founders, Mochtar Riady, is Indonesian. On the day of the field trip I went inside

Field Trip 3: Lippo Centre

Posted on Lan

Lippo Centre located in Central is a landmark in many perspectives.  Its geometrical 3D pattern makes it standing out of other skyscrapers, while the glass curtain wall create a visual connection between the context. The huge reflection also blur the boundary between the realty and fantasy, signifying the characteristic of Central district.  The awareness of public and nature is also impressive. The lifted ground floor provide a common space for public and private sectors and the connective skywalks contribute to its  important role in transportation.   Mi Lan ( 3035332294)

Field Trip 3: Lippo Centre–Interacted

Posted on Wenjun

  It is obvious that Lippo Centre is not an isolated island — It has several layers attached to the ground and includes multiple entrances at every floor. Almost every entrance which is open to the public is showed. Lippo Centre is as a spider seated in Admiralty, having entrances which are linked and served to every direction. Even more, following its surrounding environment, its skin will change into different colors, from original glass-blue to sunlight-orange. And this is also an characteristic which is appearing in other modern skyscrapers using glass envelope: reflection of its neighbors is part of its

Field trip 3: Ghost in the Shell

Posted on Yui Kan Karie

This moodboard collates three general moods inspired by the Central skyline from Victoria Harbour as depicted in Ghost in the Shell (2017), and is made up of taken photos, stock images, postcards (bottom), receipts, and a sketch (hand layered over the center). In the middle of the moodboard, various images of the iconic skyline are layered to achieve a glitched effect, and a collage of receipt cuttings makes up the buildings’ reflection. The background of postcards at the bottom are reminiscent of the dark and ominous peace that Major Kusanagi experiences underwater, and is juxtaposed by the noise of the chaotic neon
