As for the photography project, I attempt to explore the used of different approach in the initial research. All the ideas are around city life and I visited many places to find more interesting angles and moment to express the photography in Hong Kong. I found some elements that related to the city life.
My Image Board

Figure 4, "Image Board-Photography Collection"
Figure 4 display that I explore some nature elements and urban elements that I visited many place in Hong Kong. These photograph related to the elements of my theme,since all the images include plants, city life or man-made design that become my own idea in this theme in cycle 1.
In secondary research, there are some of the designer give me more inspirations to increase my photography works. Most influenced work by Hitoshi Abe is about cubism and modernist, it inspired me a lot to found the most successful ways to develop own my works. The inspiration from Michael Green - T3 Minneapolis that expressed more potential ideas to me and get good quality design to improve further to my experiment with the theme of city life and nature.

Figure 6 "T3 Minneapolis" designed by Michael Green
it express The inspiration from Michael Green - T3 Minneapolis that expressed more potential ideas to me and get good quality design to improve further to my experiment with the theme of city life and nature. Because he breakthrough the record of using largest mass timber in this project. Besides, you can see the building used of some subtle sepia timber columns to circumscribe the whole structure that expressed more natural, it contrasting the environment in the community between the natural life and urban life. Also, he combine nature and modern style to create a characteristics of the local building in the United State. The massive timber building is a bold design in their project that he break the limits of using largest timber to construct a modern tower.

Figure 7.1 "F-town"designed by Hitoshi Abe
In Figure 7.1 is a building called "F-town" which designed by Hitoshi Abe in japan. When I found this design, I think it is interesting because he combine with different size of cubic form to create a several of layers.

Figure 7.2 "SCAMPER-F-town" influenced by Hitoshi Abe
This image expressed the different section of the F-town building. I used SCAMPER to form a couple of patterns to show the details of the whole structure and choose the possible ideas to develop a new image of architecture.

Figure 5 "Modular Treehouse" designed by Architecture studio Precht
Figure 5 express the natural architecture design with using concrete to recreate the image of traditional treehouse, the used of design associated to my theme that used a ideas of treehouse and he used concrete to design a industrial treehouse,I influenced by Precht's work since his work is creative and design a natural building with concrete
