Final Submission 

I have created an architecture with a main central meeting area as its basis, where different areas extends out from the centre, each serving a unique purpose.

Moving elements 

1. Moving of shadows 

Depending on the position of the sun, the shadows from the frame structure varies with sunlight, creating different tones to the architecture. 

2. Elevators 

A elevator within a mostly glass tube connects level 1&2, providing different angle of view to the overall architecture.

I made this grandfather clock for my HSC industrial technology (woodwork) major project. I built all the wood components in this and it took me 9 months to complete, where I spent about 300 hours in the workshop working on it.

The Piano House 

Just as the name suggests, this is a giant piano and violin shaped building located in Huainan, China. It is built with a scale of 50:1 and has been described as "the most romantic building in China". 

This is a photo I took a few years back of the clouds formed just moments before a massive hail storm.
