circle

The best thing...is not that a circle is completed, but when two ends of the circle are in the progress of coming together.
"Typical architectural practice is concerned with form, space and light, all elements that are tangible and more or less permanent. When architects draw, we draw walls, floors and ceilings; if we are really interested in showing what a space is like, we might include furniture and occupants, bu these are usually notional and illustrative..... is as interested in walls as anyone, but his real fascination lies not in architectural containers, but rather in the architecturally contained, that is what happens within the walls and ceilings that he draws....the act of dining is something to savor and reflect upon. What does it mean to eat? For that matter, what does it mean to sleep, to bathe, to live in a home?"
This is an article written on my former instructor Pete Goche latest architectural work. It is the aspect that me personally is fairly interested as well.
and here's what's better description."...these works can be seen as stage sets-not in the glib, post-modernist sense of a gaudy or theatrical backdrop, but rather in the sense of a framing device that strips away all distractions from the focal activity. This approach, a minimalism that goes beyond being visually "clean" and actually seems to heighten the senses and the awareness of what's happening within."

Alright, enough of Pete. Here's me.
I started drawings: the people, their hands, their posture and then the equipment in a traditional tea ceremony. This way, i am hoping to find out what does it mean in drinking tea, I suppose. what's interesting that i found is that Tea ceremony brings out both the intimacy with people, build the connection between individuals, and as well, a fairly theatrical performance. Back to the days, when i was 2nd year in Pete's studio, i did a series of drawings for a place to eat dumplings and a place to drink soup. The former is more of a performance while the a personal conversation is more likely to happen in the latter. Interestingly, these two came together to this project； Tea-infused food. Too bad Pete wont be able to make time for me to talk about the project, otherwise it's surely interesting. And, for sure, he's one of the architecture studio professors that i admire. and one of the professors that encourages me inspires me all these time. :)

"keep making" like he says.
