My main objective on this trip to work with the software development company Navigram on varies tasks. One thing I really love about this experience is that we always eat together for lunch! They first take out EVERYTHING (lots of breads and all the other things you can put on them) to from the fridge and spread them all out on the table and then the lady will call everyone to have lunch.

It's the 3rd day I've been in Utrecht, the work is super exciting and challenging. Software development is not a easy profession.But Utrecht is really nice, I'm really enjoying the city.I think I'll post some pictures later this week.

I'll be going to Amsterdam for a week on business trip. I'll be visiting our soon-to-be partner company in Utrecht. Still haven't packed yet. I'm making a list of all the places I should be visiting on this trip.What else should I be expecting...

I've just realized that I haven't updated my blog for a long time... I need to pick it up again.So after I came back to Miami I have been working in my old school as a teaching assistant. The pay is not great but I really enjoy the work. Thanks to Mario I get to do some teaching in studios. The students are really great, they're always curious, energetic and hard working. That had really gotten

I'm driving back to Miami.This is is going to be my first cross country driving experience in my life. I hope this can be the first step of getting my life back together. The total distance for this trip is 2747 miles according to Google maps. I'm planning to take 1 week to complete this trip. On the way I'll stop by a few cities and places. I will have a lot of time on the road to think about my

I'm leaving LA!Yes I've made my decision of moving back to Miami for a while to live with my family. I've realized that I need to take sometime to get myself reorganized: Things like making some money, getting back in shape and most importantly, I need to make a plan for myself--A plan that can guide me through the next few years of my life. In the past few weeks I've been asking myself a lot of

I haven't updated my blog for a really long time. I guess it's time to update a little and show the world that I'm still alive. So....It's been 2 months since I finished my architecture school.My thesis sucks ass.I was depressed, but not anymore.I'm in China right now.It's been a month and 8 days.That's right, I'm still here...I have already delayed my returning flight to the US twice.Something

We just had the thesis midterm, in the review I came to realize I still have problem with clarifying my thesis through the work I've produced so far. That sucks.And now we are supposed to be fully engaged into the production of our project. As for me, sadly I really don't feel the drive in me at this point. in fact, I haven't really felt the drive since the beginning of the thesis semester. Some

The theme our second assignment is body. We have to somehow capture the relationship between the body and its spatial environment. I'm interested at using the trace of varies movements to construct an image of the urban lifestyle.

I'm taking a photography class at my school titled "New LA Photography". The subject will be mainly architecture or architecture related material. It seems to have the potential of becoming a really interesting class.Taking a good photo is hard. Making the photo look good is easy.Photo: Brock Real estate, Glendale ave.

Today we had the first pin-up review with the thesis advisers. I proposed the first design study--The hybrid STAIR-PATH. One significance is that the user needs to complete the first half of the stair before they can stop or they will fall. The juries were generally happy with the progress I made for my thesis.

This is an very insightful video documentary about Parkour. The development of my thesis have been heavily inspired by this new urban phenomenon. Although it's extremely amazing to witness those powerful movement that they're capable of doing, I'm more intrigued by the internal journey they were going through during every move. I believe what makes the Parkour concept valuable to our society is

Today I want to post an old piece I did years ago. It is a giant insect looking creature I designed based on a fantasy story background. I've been wanting to start working on this story again. But there is so little time outside my school curriculum. Sign...These two images are after/before the final touch in Photoshop.

We just had the midterm this Friday. The project is to design a temporary classroom sized prototype using more efficient material and structural systems. We proposed a structural system based on curved fold morphology. This is our group's presentation.During the review, we had a very interesting discussion about the idea of model making. Peter had a valuable point on the role of physical models

From Wiki: Andre the Giant Has a Posse is a street art campaign based on a design by Frank Shepard Fairey created in 1986 in Charleston, South Carolina. Distributed by the skater community, the Andre stickers began showing up in nearly every big city across the U.S.A. Later, when Fairey was a student at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), he released his manifesto. At the time Fairey

I just read an article on PBS about our addition to paper. In one part of the article there is a description of the feeling of permanency a book has. it leads me to think about the role of materials in our everyday communication. We are accepting more and more virtual information which are not materialized. We write and draw things in computer and have store them into a form of numeral script. It

I'm so tired of hearing people talking about new technologies. The concept of technology is threatening our society--the society of Art. Art used to be about us human. now the focus of art is shifting away to glorify technology. Unlike us, the computers, ipod and flat-panel displays don't have any feelings. No matter how smart these things get, their method of receiving information is data
