Task 5 - 150 Words Story

Architecture is like all of other technology, it is evolving every day. The dream of flying is almost turned up in every kid’s brain. People respect birds because they can fly in the sky without restriction. Consequently, art craft has been designed and the engine is improved over time. As we know, flying is the most efficient way from one point to another point. Have you ever imagined a house can fly? When I was young, the worst thing for me was moving from one place to the other. Furniture had to be moved out of the house and got on to the truck than they had to be got off the truck again and moved to the new apartment. If there is a house can fly when you want to change place to live, lots of matter can be ignored. Imaging one day you open your door and all the neighbors’ houses are flying up. The music video can make the dream come true.

100 Words Interpretation from “Hypertextural Picturesque” and “Systemic Delay”

Hypertextual Picturesque stands for the term of architectural environment. In other words, it is the landscape of buildings. However, this landscape does not contain street, trees or flowers. As in the picturesque, the form of expression is becoming less important than the detail. The digital landscape is like a journey, ‘new game on old ground,’ describing a 2d architectural visual.

As technology develops, people sometimes lose the traditional beauty of composition. Computer can bring efficiency but also error. Overly relying on system may lead to the end of human-created concept. The natural materiality is what the technological production is leak of.

Task 2


150 words

Machine played an irreplaceable role around the industrial revolution period. The article, The Machine in Architecture Thinking points out that the process of machine blending into architectural design. Conflicts always take place when a new sense of understanding comes to change tradition. As we known, mechanisation brought efficiency but also broke the traditional definition of beauty. It leads the changes of proportion and geometry of building form. “None of the optimally efficient products could have been designed without analytical intellectual tools, without the rigor of the modus geometricus.” Then the unfamiliar character of machine makes sense. Consequently, “the building became a means of achieving no longer purity and harmony, but optimal efficiency.” That was the main reason that the conflict occurred. The word, ‘nature’ repeatedly turns up in the article. Machine certainly creates the artificial trace to the building environment so that the ‘nature’ breaks. However, the way of putting machines into environment without destroying the original feature would be the most important thing that needs to be considered.


Key word: Efficiency
