Manchester
School of Architecture has always been a dream place for an architecture
student, such as myself, to further their studies in the architecture course.
It is highly ranked in the QS ranking among other universities in the UK and it
is the best architecture school. MSA is located half a mile from
the city centre which is a very strategic place to pursue my study as it is
easy for me to shop for supplies or going on a field trip. It is equipped with
supremacy facilities which are very convenient for the students.
The
recent art exhibition that I went is the art expo held in MATRADE, Kuala Lumpur
in October 2017. The MATRADE building is a huge and enormous which can be seen
clearly by the people around it. The modern and urban design of the building
attracts the attention of the passer by. The hall is wide and spacious. It was
filled with hundreds of artworks from the east to the west wing of various
types such as sculpture, painting, drawing, photo collage, contemporary and
many more that have unique style of producing them. With all of the magnificent
and amazing artworks exhibited, I found myself captivated with and constantly coming
back to view an artwork entitled ‘The Human Mind – Reflection 3’. The artist
used lots of ropes that linked to one another in a chaotic way and there are
many paper balls of different sizes that can be touch by the viewers since it
is an interactive art.
Taj
Mahal is one of my favourite buildings and it is one of the seven wonders of
the modern world. It is considered as the most tremendous architectural achievement
in the whole range of Indo-Islamic architecture. Its recognised architectonic
beauty has a rhythmic combination of voids and solid, convex and concave like
arches and domes further boosts the aesthetic aspect. The colour combination of
lush green scape reddish pathway and blue sky over it show cases the monument
in ever changing tints and moods.
A work of
architecture that I would love to experience is the Piano House in Huainan City
in China. This magnificent structure was designed by Hefei University of
Technology to commemorate advancements in Huainan City. The Piano and
accompanying violin entrance are built on a legitimate 50:1 scale, perhaps
making them the largest to scale instruments in the world. The building has meeting
rooms, escalators and space to host weddings and other events. At night the
piano and violin light up with fluorescent lighting outlining the amazing
structures. I would really love to take a picture with the piano house as the
background as I know it will be a very valuable photo.
