Student Tips

• Find a senior student to be your mentor. Us old timers, have been around the block a time or two

• Get to know your School of Architecture and the people in it. You will be spending a lot of time here and you may just need someone's help one night when no one else is around.

• "Work smart, not hard."

• Work in studio (not at home): your classmates are great for advice, crits, inspiration, and supplies.

• Your best friends are those who can be brutally honest about your work.

• Take plenty of breaks; how much time can you lose in 15 minutes anyway?

• Remember, asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

• Put your name on all your supplies--they tend to walk away.

• When it comes to technology (computers, printers, scanners), if it can go wrong it will, so expect the unexpected.

• Your assignment may seem irrelevant now, but stick with them because eventually you will realize that it is from these early projects that you learn the most.

What's DCH about?

The DCH Blog

Hey I said Dont Come Here! lol im just kidding.

Glad your here.

Whats this blog about? 
Well its an architecture blog but I write on a number of topics so it may veer off even into random.Not randomly useless but a jack of all trades kind of blog. However I especially like to get and share resources for architecture students and provide info for classmates.

Who are you?Im S. Alistair Blackwater  left :D Im an architecture student at the University of Technology, Jamaica .Im a eclectic jester - a strange but fairly accurate way to describe me.

Do you post your own work?

Well i dont plagiarize, I only post my own work after I can be sure no ones going to plagiarize me :P So expect a time delay after projects

Dizining - The Site to showcase your digital portfolio

Architecture Student Resource.A site that shows a lot of promise.Dizining is a place where you can showcase your portfolio.It is geared towards students ,so dont be afraid to show off your sketchbook scribbles failed proejcts and the like

I think greater intra user interaction would be a plus.Letting people comment, like , share project information on social platforms would definately put the site out there on the net.
So far I love it, a great tool for students freshmen to graduates to showcase their work.

In fact I may just write an article at my blog :P [guess what I did]

Also this is my first Sidewiki article

"Creating opporttunites and Erasing boundaries"
- Dizining - Creating Opportunities and Erasing Boundaries (view on Google Sidewiki)

Expository Introspection

I enjoy simple. I enjoy the unadorned. Never overtly expressing.Just hints.
Subtle hints.

Thats it.

Subtlety. I enjoy it. In everything. The parts of life you have to relax your mind for a while. Slow down, Still your heart beat and look closely to appreciate it.Thats what I like.

Simple pleasures keep me happy.

My senses have not been so dulled that I require a grand stimuli before I am aware of changes in that which I observe.
Those, They must have something to engorge their mind at the cost of drowning out their own thoughts.

Less really is more.
Use your imagination.I assure you, however rusty it is it is better than the world you live in.

Biofuel sweating organisms

Little bacteria that just sit on their solar lounge chairs and sweat out diesel.Awesome right?This isn't wholly new but is a major improvement over the old way of doing things where the poor bacteria had to be squashed to get out the precious fuel.Now we can skip all that.

The Printer that prints sculptures.

What architecture students dream about.The D-Shape prototype printer.This printer could print your model in a considerably shorter time than you sit slaving over it with an X-acto knife.Super shortcut sadly is gonna  cost super cash >_&lt: It works by starting with a layer of sand after which the model is built up layer by layer.Technology :3    Full article



Reverse Graffiti?

Graffiti :3 This is graffiti that isn't illegal and actually is doing something good for the city.These guys walk around looking for grungy walls.Armed with soap and other dirt combatants they scrub off the grime to create murals at scales worthy of praise. Full article

The microwave for Geeks
This sleek device scans the end of the fork with each of these Brainwave compatible meals and automatically adjusts the temperature.And when your done you can turn it upwards and use it as a notice board.I hope for further advances in this for semi-chefs like myself.Soon it will scan everything! like poptarts and Chef Boyardee

what i learnt: The Shelter

[the shelter]
Design Problem: To design a sustainable dwelling for one person to sleep and study.Should incorporate photovoltaics

Details
Site: Riverbed/Riverband - Hope River Jamaica
Materials:Timber-Virgin and Recycled
Floor space (m2): 5.5m2
Height: Max. 3m - Min. 2 6 m

Solar paneling: Building Iintegrated Photo Voltaics [BIPV] A Semi Transparent solar paneling
Furniture: Compressed Cork Desk - Compressed Wool Stool - Bamboo Bookcase - Hammock Bed - - Reclaimed denim rug
Other features. Trap Door and Floor entrance via rope ladder.

The challenge to design a small space for study and sleep while keeping it eco-friendly and disposable was a interesting twist.I started with a mast and roping system which kept the roof up in a variety of shapes ranging from 8 to 4 sides.It would be accessed via a small 'trap' door and a tree house like rope ladder underneath.

After visiting the site there were a number of good areas for building which could take me on a number of different architectural paths.Some chose in the silt others chose flat areas up river.I chose to build on the rocks.

Architectural Generators

Context and Environmental Factors
Why did I chose the rocky river side? It had a significant height difference in relation to the riverbed and allowed one to observe both up and down the river.If a light/moderate rain fell the structure would be well out of the way of the rivers flow.Those who chose to build in the silt, what would they do?The rocks are easily accessed by both the path to the other villages and is the easier of two routes further up river.
Experience
In terms of the experience of the space.I wanted the services provided to be humble and simple.I provided a small pull down table and a hammock type bed.The privacy of the sleeping area was ensured by the book case which wrapped around most of the bed.

Ample light is always a major consideration for me.I provided a ribbon around the facade facing the river.I also had raised paneling to provide ventilation and diffused light in the sleeping area.Additionally since the bed was near floor level i made a low opening covered with rice paper to diffuse the morning light

Construction and Sustainability
.The solar paneling on the roof was Semi Transparent with tinting to allow some light inside without excessive heat gain.

Construction was simple.Panels were carried and slotted into their places on the permanent base.

I honestly would have loved staying the night
