Frustration with the guide

Sitting here writing this blog frustrated with the project managment report. This has been the hardest most stressful part so far.

Quickly losing sanity,

but the end is near and I can see the light

PS well played Timothy on that mesh screen. it looks terrific

LEGENDS, am calling it a night for tonight. have changed the plans (re-configured the service lift etc.- take a look and comment) and done a little fine tuning. the plans will be sweet as bags of wheat, but may take a day or two- all plans should be smashed out by sunday. am pondering wether or not it would be a good idea to delete a room from each floor and add an extra floor in order to be sweet as for services- input and output air. ps can one of you fine gentlemen find the m2 area for the services for the building and post it on this bad boy...that would be lovely.


Tell us what you think of the ammendments, am posting them on the gmail account.


PEACE OUT PLAYERS - this is a Peter Eisenman model...lets copy it hehehe

Any suggestions fellow taipans or bloggers alike?


HIT ME WITH YOU SUGGESTIVE GOODNESS!

team taipan rules

the blog king has entered to claim what is rightfully his. by the end of this semester i shall be crowned as the ultimate blogger of both quality and quantity.

sammy's done some great work on the layout of the typical floor plan. tonight we shall try and finalise the ground floor and lower levels. to my right the viz king timmy is rendering beautifully and woody and myself are as keen as 'smokin' joe frazier on fight night to churn out some brilliant cad work.

Im back


Well it has been a matter of minutes and here i am again, just really putting in the hard yards- started a "gmail" for the group to use aptly named teamtaipan@gmail.com this should be handy for communications. Team taipan met up today (tuesday) and resolved a few planning issues. Timmy has been working on a viz model witch Ill try and get him to put up some screen shots for you eager "viewers." Ive been working on a bit of everything -the plans, sections etc. yesterday i started the massing model site plan, that although already provided i think will come in handy in the next couple of assignments. The other lads, Glen and Ben have been helping with the plan layout.


Are meeting tomorrow arvo and will keep you posted with any news.

The class got a one week extension today- this is much appreciated and will produce much more concise work.


Still cant find out how to change the layout, will get in touch with "knot-architecture" tomorrow and get some better visuals.


Ps last post photo was a design by Ken Yeang, this post has a Zaha Hadid concept

Hey there architecture world. Am new to this so may just start with a small 'mushi-mushi' and continue on from there. In therse blogs- as i am not entirely sure of what is needed- a diary? thoughts? etc... - they may be a little all over the place but i guess it is a good way of communication between teamtaipan.


Will try and include some sweet pictures as to make it a little less boring and will try and figure out how to change the boring background.
