Travels: Hong Kong

Travel from 2012, Hong Kong:

(Left row) Too eager to jam pack our day, Julie and I hung out in downtown Hong Kong before any of the museums were opened. We spent over an hour on a bench just sulking and observing.

(Mid top) Neat park feature centred around a historic fortress.

(Mid middle, bottom, right row): Private residential landscapes.

Back Blogging

To be candid, since graduation, I've only picked up a pen to sketch intermittently and postings non-existent. While I haven't been slacking in pursuing other creative endeavours (some to be followed with future posts), I sorely missed observing and understanding places on a whim. It is this act that keeps a designer humble and curious, wise yet flexible. Enough said, it's time to bring things a little more up to date:

Sketching from the balcony of Chan Centre during performance by UBC Orchestra. 

A visit to Binning House, example of early modern architecture movement in Canada. 

A section-plan sketch of West Vancouver's streetscape.

A sketch in the Linked Hybrid in Beijing, China, 2010. 

RE: Thom -Island Studio

It has been 2 and a half year counting, I found this undelivered on my hard drive, oh my.

A section cut of our ferry boat on our way back to Vancouver. A worker on Deck 2 surprised me by miraculously appearing, peaked over my shoulder and added helpfully, "You missed a column." 

A clue as to where I sat during the presentation, hi Thom.
