Highrise Initial Design

We were assigned to roughly design a highrise building, and study the structural system of such design. I have come out with a design inspired by Jean Nouvel, he's an architect from France which produce excellent works (at least most of them are). The new Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan has such unique personality; which although it doesn't seem has to be there (due to the height of it) but it fits the surrounding nicely (with it tall and slender 'figure').

I'm inspired by the structural system of the building that creates distinctive character to it. So, i try to adapt it to the design. Enough of the gibberish. Here are the images of the design.

But it is just the initial design. It's not complete yet. Enjoy guys. Leave me messages if you have any comments.

New Semester, New Resolution.

The new semester has started and I, as an architecture student will be given with tedious tasks, extraordinary challenges and mind-boggling workload AGAIN. We'll be doing highrise, which is building exceeds 20 storey high. Hope it will be a satisfying semester and maybe it will be the time i can vanquish my procrastination habit.

Read more, surf more, struggle more, come out on top.
