Assignment 2 - Preliminary Narrative

Normally, we perceive objects from our eyes, and the images will become our memories. And those memories will become our knowledge, as we trust what we have seen.
When we walk along the street, everything is real in front of our eyes. Buildings are static and the street is calm. However, we can always see beyond our eyes with the ideas of hypertextural picturesque. Imagination and creativity are always the key factors. We can visualize what we imagine and we can move beyond our eye level to reach for the object that we wish to create. Moreover, no matter how creative we are. Our logic is always framing our thinking to a reasonable extent. It is like a box which lay down four plains to restrict our imaginations. And finally, after a few steps back of thinking, we can notice what we thought is still framed inside a box and it is back to reality.

Interpretation of “Hypertextural Picturesque” and “Systemic Delay” - 100 words

Building alone can be anything or nothing. Architecture incorporates many elements and they are interrelated, in the broader perspective. We should not let the traditional way of thinking which limits creativity, flexibility to act as a hindrance to our way of thinking. Think outside the box, allowing more input variables from external sources and considering more alternatives may result in a better, unpredictable result. Acknowledge the fact that ideas and thoughts, being neither physical nor tangible, may be as vital and indispensable, as those physical and tangible ones, to the process of thinking, creation and architectural appreciation.
