It's finally done! Last Thursday I had my final presentation and basically I'm done with my school. On above there is a virtual replica of the book I made about my final project in Bali. Unfortunately it is only in Finnish, but there is an abstract in English and many many pictures.

My original plan was to share the process here on real time, but since the actual doing took so much time and energy, in the end I only made few posts from Bali. Now after the presentation there is again time to breath and share the work - better late than never :)

Kakurega

School is over! Yattaa! It was wierd to spent all June and July at school since normally that is the time for out summer vacation, but in Japan it's the busy time to finish all projects and reports. But now everything is done!

Here I'm showing some slides of my major project of this semester. Every week we had a meeting with our professor and showed what we have done during the week and decided what we will present next week. One semester later it was a full package of drawings, plans, concept and material boards and 3D illustrations.

But here are some slides from my presentation we gave after the project was done.

Stuff for school

Sketchbook for visual studies of japanese details like bamboo fences...

...patterns, "heraldic" symbols...

...stone pavings, turtle shell patterns...

... and so on.

Space perspectives with markers.

Illustraiting old projects.

and trying to learn how to use the markers...I'm sure one day they'll be better..

Small projects for "design methodology" class like this "create something new by using someting that is already done" bowl.

For the workshop I'm making tatami stool.

quick model for the stool.

This is what I have concretely done so far but I'm also planning my bigger project every week with my professor.  I'll show something about that when it is in that state :)

Igna bungalows

As a part of my internship I must also look around the local places and different styles they use here. If the Gayatri bungalows where I stay is more traditional and tropical, this place is more modern and strict. The black and white theme goes through the rooms and it is a great contrast for the wild nature.
They are actually still building the place but so good so far :)

Enterance to the rooms. Great feeling of height!

Balconies with sliding doors and a nice view to the pool below.

They use a lot of these stones in the place.

Sweet little pool opposite to the enterance of the rooms.
