Digital..

This lecture is about digital design. It's story has relationship with the previous lecture that is technology topic but this time is focusing on software and program for architecture. From Ajarn's sample, 3D animation software is the important tool for designer because it can generate form easily and also show the process of generating the form. Moreover, it make the form to have life. I don't know the designer's method in the design process. I think the designer should think about their work before using software because it is tool for us but if the method is not like this, I mean designer use software without thinking and use process of generating form from software, That work will be software's work. It's not designer's work.

Another thing is trace topic. The word "trace" is quite hard to understand. Ajarn give us the definition of it in class. " Mark of the absence of a presence, and always already absent present ". It like, trace is the copy of something and represent that thing but it's not that thing. It like the designing from software. The software can give sense of life but it does not have life.

Perception in the city

For my mapping, It's about my journey from Soa+d to the Pantip plaza. My perception was effected by building along the way. Firstly, I got the van and went out from the faculty. I saw some of small building but the context around there is almost field so, I did not interested in small building anymore. After that, my conciousness was gone [I fall asleep].

I woke up when the van reached Bangkok CODE and I continued my traveling by BTS. I could see many buildings around the city from sky train but the speed of the BTS and the quantity of people in the train make my building attention gone. Moreover, I lose the orientation[direction] when I was in the van and BTS. It might because I am not local people here so when something impact my interest I will lose the direction.

I walk to Pantip plaza after I reached the target BTS station. At this time, I have strongly consciousness because I had to walk myself. I can perceive the real space more clearly such as the different size of the building because there was no factor that effect to my perception. so, I think our perception is easy to change by any factor.
