INVERSE = ESREVNI





Many times that I do not understand in human nature so, I have doubt about normal of human that abnormal, that why human love to do somethings Inverse and, do that be same as normal by intend and not intend. For example, last week I went out side form my home and, I felt today the weather so very hot then I saw many people ware sun-glasses. In that moment, I did not perceive something till when I went back home that about 10:00 PM was the night time and, I notice that why my house turned on the light but, even everybody already slept. Therefore I realized something at the daytime that when nature give the light to human but, human need to decrease the light by ware sun-glasses. In the same way when in the night time, nature have not give the light but human have need to look for another light that not from the nature. Maybe it is some kind of Inversion case but if we did not observe and realize it so, we will never know that is INVERSE.



Also I have some another example but in this example is different form the first one so in this case maybe somebody intend make it happen than I have just saw it. Last week I have chance to met two friends at the coffee cafe then my friends have to order some beverage but i don't concern about my friend orders and, when we get the orders suddenly I have amazed about the inverse of the liquid color and the containers color so that absolutely inverse. As you can see in the picture so, that make
me question myself why the two kind of containers and two kind of liquid are contain in different color of materials, that maybe is the coffee maker determine. This is another example case of inversion that sometime it happen directly.

Therefore when I have leant some experience more about inverse so,that make me more understand and,make me know that inverse is the same like simulate but the result is very different from the original one. In term of Mathematics we can do the inverse to be original by do the inverse two times so that the result will be exactly the same form the beginning or the original one and,when the result is same form the original that is simulated. Even we do many times of inverse that have only two answers that is simulate and not simulate.



In term of design some architect using the inverse as the principle of there design or using as a keyword. The inverse is just the ideas , that how we think, how we used, how we change, how we different, but actually inverse is just the beginning way to the end as same as transform A to B but, we just know the beginning and the end so, we don't know how to inverse. Because of that have many way to inverse.



It seem like a trace for the trace we just know only the process, and we just know something between A to B but in case of the inverse we already know everything know the beginning, know the process, know the end and, moreover know how go back to the beginning. If compare in human being the principle of inverse as I mentioned so, A ( beginning point ) seem like the past that we already know everything happened and the process of inverting seem like a present so, that we struggle for better way to find the solution and, B ( ending point ) seem like the future that sometime we know the answer or sometime we never know so, it depend on nowadays how we inverse ?

TRACE TO THE FUTURE..



According form the last week lecture,the teacher said something new to creating the architecture form , so it all about technology to create it. Therefore the animation also be using to design architecture form. Then the trace is the one part of process to create the animation. It kinda transforming between shape A to B or B to A , Even thought finally is A or B that not important rather than the process of transformation. Let's say in case of when you see some movie thriller and that is new movie you haven't watch it and then have some friend who had watch this movie come to tell you about the end of movie. I term of my thinking ,I think even thought I known of the end but the important things is the something between the beginning and the end. Also for me the trace is like the everyday life the present because it in between the past ant the future, so Nobody can tell when we finish but we can tell ourselves that we have done and what should is be in the future.

MY PHYCHOGEOGRAPHICAL MAP : INVERSE

In this article my teacher assign me to create some kinda perception by using the phychogeograghical map; so actually when i heard i very confuse what is the heck of phychogeographic cos I never heard it. Also finally I can understand form the context of teacher explained. It all about how you perceive anythings and record it into kinda diagram or mapping.

Hare is my Phychogeographical map..



This map is about how I go back home from Bangkok Code. firstly I use the red line to represent the BTS transport that start from the right side of the map. That is Surasak Station,then the next station is the Saphan Taksin station and next and finish at Wongwain Yai station so, moreover the using BTS transport when I live in the train at the everyday evening to go back home.( It's about 6:00 PM ). There have a lot of people used BTS to go back home. Also the something that I got from used BTS is about my personal space so, from the beginning when I got in to the station the ticket office in the Surasak station I realize that not many people then when I go up stair I see the more number of people. If compare the ticket floor and the platform floor is increase about 20% then when the train arrived at the platform and I got in to the train I realize the number of people are increase more than at the platform so, that is mean I live together with many unknown people on the train but if I stay on the station I got to live unknown people less than on the train, and when I arrived at the Wongwain Yai station the terminal station so, I have to change the kind of transport by using motorcycle service so, the green line is represent the motorcycle transport. Also when I get on motorcycle that make me think about the personal space so, on the motorcycle I have to live just one of unknown people but that is very big space because of the motorcycle is about the opening space have not boundry but live just only one unkown people

Also all of this is kinda some of perception that very inverse so, When l live in big space but less people and, in the different way when I live in small space that have large number of people. That is found from everyday transportation.

SACRED AND PROFANE : BAD OR NOT ??



Sacred and profane – we are all too familiar with this distinction. So familiar that we assume the act of definition of sacred religious space is an absolute one, by which space contained inside becomes sacred and that left outside profane, a distinction clear as black and white. And that sacred space is recognisable and clearly inviolable because the sanctity of prayer can never be compromised. This is a universal ideal. The mosque embodies this ideal.

But can sanctity be experienced equally by every person?
Sanctity is a construct. Meaning is not intrinsic to form. It is contingent on the cognitive comprehension of the user. The mosque can be experienced as sacrosanct, transcendental space, as a manifestation of the divine spirit or as simply as a building, an artifact of the city. The building is essentially as sacred as we make it. The Prophet himself claimed the world as a mosque, in that a house can function as a mosque, if it is symbolically accepted by the community using it. By a simple act of signification, space within is sanctified, and the house is recognised as a mosque. For that community, the space is now inviolable in a state of ritual impurity, but for another it remains just a house. The supposed black and white dulls into grey.



This is not to suggest that sacred space is indistinguishable from profane in an unfamiliar environment. People assign symbolic meanings to form and space and these associations are consolidated or rejected over time, with those that endure becoming more widely acceptable. So the dappled clerestory light in the sanctuary, the flamboyant calligraphic compositions, the awe-inspiring courtyards and lofty volumes of the Friday Mosques or the complex geometric ornamental patterns on wall or ceiling have come to represent Islamic religious space and persist in the repertoire of elements used in mosque architecture. Even a glimpse of the minaret or a suggestion of an arch or dome suffices to establish a mosque today. But whilst the quest for demarcating sanctity tends to essentialise certain qualities of architecture, these qualities cannot be understood as constant and universally accepted. They are manifest differently across time and space. Though certain significations are explicit, accessible to all, there are often those implicit and intelligible only to specific individuals or communities. They constitute a complex of forms well-established and those lesser known specific to cultural and regional differences that may render them unrecognisable to a visitor.





When you visit buildings by other architects, what do you look for?
Haha! First, I enjoy them very much. Second, I steal everything. Stealing is maybe too hard a word. There’s an Italian word, you say “rubarro,” which means a nice robber, without a mask.

EMPTY FORM = POWER







Over the past hundred years Japan has succeeded faster than any other country in Asia in raising its economic influence to western levels. And in the process Japan has gone through a cultural and social change which has been profounder than that of any other industrialized country. The development of Japan as an industrial and naval power was initiated with the accession to power of Meiji in the year 1867. The island state, which was previously cut off from the world, rapidly opened itself up to the rest of the of world and curiosity about western culture spread rapidly. Japan's population doubled to 50 million within 45 years. Institutional architecture adapted itself to western styles, in other words first to Neoclassicism and then to Modernism. However, the real architectural change only came after the second World War. Up to that time traditional Japanese architecture had been characterised in particular by wooden construction. These houses had an average life span of 30 years. In those cities which had been completely flattened by the war there was finally an opportunity to establish long-lasting architecture in the style of the American metropolis. There was experimentation like never before. The year 1959 saw the emergence of the Metabolists, whose focus was the city of the mass society of the future. Their flexible major structures stood for the liveliness of Japanese urban development, and concrete and steel became the ultimate building materials. Kenzo Tange, Arata Isozaki and others earned world fame for the new Japanese architecture.



However the younger generation, including Kengo Kuma, who was born in 1954, has taken a completely different direction. By using natural materials, traditional methods of manufacturing and very restrained design they are paying tribute to their cultural roots and driving forward a new concept of modern Japanese architecture.
This withdrawal from Monumentalism was accompanied by the recession which began in the early nineties, and whose after-effects are still being felt today. It was also the period when Kengo Kuma decided to work in the countryside, outside of the city. In contrast to China or Korea there is very great respect in Japan for traditional craftsmanship. Kuma creates the kind of sophisticated and economical architecture can be created with building materials such as wood and stone. His aim is to bring traditional architecture back into the consciousness of the people, and to re-interpret it for the tenty-first century. According to Kuma the problem of architecture in the European style is its formalism. In the case of Classicism, structure and its proportions are the main focus of interest, and Modernism, too, occupies itself in particular with the beauty of form. Kuma's designs, however, are particularly adaptable as a result of their formal modesty. He considers the typical features of the landscape and the environment the decisive starting point of his work. Architecture has to adapt humbly to its surroundings and become part of them.



As a design feature Kuma uses gaps which enable constant visual contact between the house's occupants or visitors and the outside world and nature. Crevices and gaps of varying sizes pass through his designs like a leitmotiv. An impressive example from the year 2005 is the 'Lotus House'. The travertine façade with its chessboard-like pattern of openings is wrapped around the window front of the house almost like a curtain, creating a delicate interplay of light and shadow. In addition the honest use of materials becomes apparent. The natural stone does not cover the underlying construction and instead forms a major element of the design.

Therefore from the beginning the empty form it's can be everything so everything that you needs that mean form is not full but it ready to fill in by using any some kind of theory or some principle form the designer. Anyway from the quote I am what I am not. that kinda thing like a empty form because of this word so very abstract there is can be anything , any meaning so, actually it very very hard to understand for me or generally people that not study in architecture program but in nowadays architect do a lot of empty form. that is the things effect me not understand.

MANIFESTO

KEEP WALKING

The architecture, that is kind a adventure style, so it could be say like a primary job of the world. That make we ( architect ) walk in between the Art and Science, between old memories and originality, between the brave to modernity and the respect of culture. Therefore we cannot choose but except living dangerously. We working with every materials not until concrete wood or metal but I mean to compound about history, geography, mathematic, science, business, social, weather and technology so that the things does architect working with in daily life.
Architect in my perception is also a very good career because of the reason that everything are discovered in this small world so, at least that not have any land on the world is not draw on the map, so that might be not discover something new but, while in term of design that still adventure that find something new to present out to the world so, suitable for physical discovering the ancestor were done but, in the present day we just discover about heart and spirit of ourselves. The design is the same as the traveling which we concern to search something to learning from it and, prepare about new thing but, if we fear to discover it the trip of travel will be end but, If we love to adventure, not escape, have brave, make an effort so that make we begin to the trip again and, we will find something new or find something that was no people discovered. Therefore I suggest you to keep walking although the way that you walk are dangerous so, keep walking to the destination.

Hi-TECHNOLOGY : MORE JUNKSPACE





God is dead( but the truth, God is alive ), the author is dead, history is dead, only the architect is left standing... an insulting evolutionary joke... The cosmetic is the new cosmic. ends Rem Koolhaas postmodern classical on a space stretching out smoothening out all options for diagonality and sneak previews of the outside. Koolhaas brings us a Truman Show world informed by airports, shopping malls and the efficiency of late-capitalism. As always brilliant with words, Junkspace is an almost compulsive litany simultaneously with and against the low of architecture.

According from the Rem Koolhaas : Junkspace that I already cut it out some of that so, I agree with the beginning context above because nowadays the word have been develop technology more and more. Therefore every architecture can be come to Junkspace. According from the first that effect me thought ab(out the word that said Everything is nothing and Nothing is everything, so that absolutely related with the present, that architect try to used hi-technology to create the architecture but they don't know the architecture that they try to create or the architecture that people consume that could be come Junkspace in the world.

GOD BLESS YOU.
