PROJECT 1A : THE ART OF ADAPTATION

n a group of 3 students, we are required to select a chapter from Invicible Cities by Italo Calvino, read and describe the story and the ideas extracted from the story using mind-mapping. Then, we are expected to creatively adapt the story by way of painting the graphical/visual representation.

PROJECT 1B : OBSERVING THE EVERYDAY

Using the same chosen chapter from Calvino's Invisible Cities in Project 1A, we are required to identify the tools/lens Calvino used to identify the city's characteristic. We are to apply those outcome to a chosen area in the city of Kuala Lumpur.

Teammates:

Tan Chin Werng

Wong Lok Xuan

Poh Jia Jou

PROJECT 2 : RE-SYNTHESIZED AN EXPERIMENT

This project is about the exploration of an adaptive process between the imaginary and the real, and non-physical and the physical. It stretches further the idea of ‘adaptation’ in the style of how a film maker would overlay an imaginary (utopian/dystopian) city into the real space.

Based on Project 1A & 1B, we are asked to identify the issue that contributes to the significant characteristic of the city as narrated by Calvino. A storyboard proposal is structured revolving on how the city changes through time if the issue is unresolved through projection timeline of predicted situation in 25 years, 50 years and 100 years from now.
