WEEK 1 | 3 PICTURES


SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL: To me nothing's more beautiful than being over 30,000ft in the air and seeing such a colourful sky. It gives me a sense of freedom and lightness, amazement and disbelief.


GREAT ARCHITECTURE: This is Calatrava's design for the train station at Lyon-Satolas Airport. The building serves as a gateway for passengers transiting from airport to train. I like the transparency of the building, being able to see the structural loads in steel members whilst appreciating the streamlined form. At night, the delicate illuminated tracery of steel elements adds rhythm to the swooping bird, suggestive of metallic feather swept back by passing trains and aircraft.

CREATIVE WORK: This is a multi-purpose robot i "created" back in year 9 for IST class project. Its main function is to be a replacement of a security guard, being able to speed up and knock intruders onto their feet and trapping them in self-deployed nets or knocking them out with its robotic arms. Other than being a security robot, it can vacuum the room, become a toy car and a home entertainment centre, with fold out screens and speakers
