1st Prize
ABSTRACT IDEAS
This is San Fransokyo from “Big Hero 6” filmed in the year 2014, a hybrid city combined of San Francisco and Tokyo set in the not-too-distant future. Years before I started enrolled in architecture studies, I watched this movie and I was fascinated by the creative idea of combining Japanese and American architecture, landscaping and engineering skills creating the city's iconic amalgamation of American and Japanese culture portrayed in the movie. During the MCO period, I rewatched this movie and it reminded me of a lot of old times before I studied architecture and how I got into it…
JURY NOTES
The sketch technique and style stand out compares to the other entries even tough with the stroke of a single type of Artline pen AND have a distinctive clarity in term of architectural presentation.
2nd Prize
ABSTRACT IDEAS
Kampung Cina is a playground for locals here. It is one of the main attraction here in this city and its have a lot to offer. From a small food stall to a big cafe, colourful murals and a lot more attractions can be found here. Although it is a place for chinese people, but the locals including malay and indians usually hangout here, just to enjoy the hustle and bustle of this small town.
JURY NOTES
Out of the box presentation; 'Sketching on the wall' with good clarity and architectural detailing that would require more skill, focus and dedication of work.
3rd Prize
ABSTRACT IDEAS
The title given for my artwork is 'Space' in which our room can be depicted as our own 'space' where ideas and inspirations may be generated. In this 'space', we could discover many possibilities by doing various of activities based on our interests such as painting, playing musical instruments or reading books which can be seen in this artwork. From the window, we can see a moon that portrays we can do so much that could be 'out of this world'. As an architecture student, I love to immerse in my own 'space' to explore more of myself.
JURY NOTES
Attained a reasonably balanced of points across the range of Abstract Ideas, Artwork and Timelapse Video AND well presented in architectural comprehensiveness.
Honorary Mention 1
ABSTRACT IDEAS
Having assignments does not make you crazy at home. Thank god for my "Happy pills". The falling water by Frank Lloyd Wright means the nature integrated with a building could develop emotional strength for the occupant. However, for ordinary people like me having good food and great acquaintance is what I need the most. "Happiness" is what everyone's goal but it is the person's choice of how to create it weather through materialistic approach or contentment through gratitude. For me, contentment comes from kindness. A personal bowl of noodles is nice but sharing it will be nicer.
JURY NOTES
Remarkable use of Artline marker with a unique sketch rendering technique and mixed media.
Honorary Mention 2
ABSTRACT IDEAS
Skyline is a post-covid concept. The concept is an airborne individual roller coaster concept. After the endemic has settled, transportation has changed to this concept where people social distance through this method, and this method ensures everybody who gets on have a 3m gap between the people on the skyhook in front of them. Thus ensuring social distancing in public.
JURY NOTES
Remarkable artwork with architectural clarity in term of ideas, sketching and rendering technique.
Honorary Mention 3
ABSTRACT IDEAS
Covid-19 has imprisoned us all. We stay inside for the greater good. Extroverts can feel imprisoned the most, as they spend mostly outdoors. The camera represents the "vision" of the extrovert, and the screen display is their perspective. There is always an easy way out. Walk through the linear hallway, and go outside through the door. But Covid-19 is waiting for you, behind the bars that represent the wall. The bars are the only thing that protect us after all. We are all in this together, stay home and stay safe. Instead of sketching in 2D, 3D sketch makes it livelier, and works better for sense of perspective.
JURY NOTES
Nice artwork and video showing a distinctive 3D sketch technique.
