dparch final project overall review

overall, the sense of "passion" totally disappeared from the student's. work..none seems to enjoy doing what is called the essence of architecture course..which is "design"...the same "soft" issue (for sem 01) or blatant mistakes (for higher semester level) is being repeated..the "unpresentable" presentation method is used...deja vu all over again..

..unconscious mind made all the action..remember the zombie?

the verdict:

sem 04 - didn't meet the "requirement" by the standard of "IPTA"

sem 03 - lack of commitment

sem 04 - the standard is decreasing

sem 01 - do not follow all the above!!

dip 04 final project

lost in time...lost in space ...lost in scale...lost in translation...

that is my conclusion upon reviewing the final crit of dparch04 final design project...
from 17 candidates; 5 were OK, 10 were given KO and surprisingly we got 2 absentees ...(may god punished 'em) ...hopefully they got a very good reason for not attending the final crit...

17 - 5 = 12

12 individuals whom were given 2 months of time; didn't manage to present a decent design proposal...to the extent that some were not even know or forgot to indicate where is the main entrance to their's design...

brief were not fully understand...and some of requirements were purposely neglected...reason and justification are totally disappeared form the design...

lacks of interest...poor attendence...is one of the main culprit (nevertheless between one night CFC & MUFC were dumped out of EC..which is only a minor factor*)

basic and raw ideas were seen in most of the design scheme...which is too late to blossom under just one week's time...

5 candidates barely manages to survive the final crit...reason?...ideas were not really tangible and convincing as they were presented during the conceptual stage...among the five survivors; none is in my "B" list...maybe if they push harder in this one week of presentation time; maybe they will open the "B" door...until yesterday the "B" door is totally sealed and hopefully the 12's also will buck-up and rise to their true capability...

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU
