Inspirational Building #1

The Swiss Re Tower
(constructed 2001-2004)
For me, architect is a person who build hoses which others/clients can call as a 'home'.
That facinated me and that is why I wanted to become an architect.
Therefore I do not have a building that inspired me to become an architect.
However as I started to study more in depth, I found some buildings that inspire me as a future-architect.
The Swiss Re Tower in London is one of them.
The reason I find this building so inspiring is that this beautiful creation has that "Wow-factor" and shows the architect, sir Norman Foster's characteristics.

Creative Work #1

Untitled (2006)
This is part of my year 12 art major work.
The whole major work includes the mannequin in the photo and 12 photos including 4 above.
The main idea of this piece was to visualise the existance of the violence towards women such as wife-bashing, rape and prostitution to name a few.
The missing body parts of the mannequin represents the unnecessary parts in women's body for those whom acts these violence upon women or see them as an object for sex.
The head of the mannequin, for example, is missing as brain which placed inside the head means intelligence and that is certainly not what those criminals are looking for in women.
The mannequin is made out of plaster and wire.
