Encountering THE Rex

Such a remarkable event, at least for me, happened unexpectedly, as always, at a random moment. The conditions that allows it to happen were actually simple: a boring afternoon, three boring persons (I prefer the word "person") and most importantly, a fairly attractive exhibition. The occasion was just right, and all happened.

Have to admit that I knew nothing about the famous V&A Museum until going to this exhibition, i.e. I had totally no backgrounds of this project, such as precedents clients brief blablabla... except an instant glance and a superficial impression of the site, which gives me an opportunity to appreciate the works in a more intuitional way, and that turned out to be an enlightening experience and made me rethink of the standard of a "good" architecture.

The core I want to talk about is this:

More More Detail

yet my ability of language doesn't allow me to describe it completely. Like a congealed splash or the crystal grown out of the water, it seems be striking some prime sense rooted in my consciousness and subconsciousness despite any rule, theory, ism...and analysis.

A DIRECT IMPACT
