on the model

Some things you cannot avoid. So when asked to create a representation of your work in 2,5 hours with primitive means it’s quite a challenge. It came as no surprise that most of us followed the most acquainted path of architecture. Many proposals resembled constructions, real buildings that have or could have been built.
It’s hard to be comprehensive and remain simple. A gathering of one’s efforts should respect their uniqueness, however when it comes to producing a portfolio it is essential to establish a unity, a frame within which each past or future moment can find its place.
The choice not to use any specific previous material – the so-called content – was a deliberate one. In what way can actually a single project represent my work or a nice photograph of a car my love for cars (or photography..)?
The structure of the model suggests alteration between subjects, which vary in significance and at the same time a core keeps everything together.
Although the structure seems quite strict, a red square blinks to the user. A style – some call it mood - appears the very same moment you start creating something and is not a final addition or a software trick.
