Sorry for the late update and also for not replying to some e-mails/comments. I’ll get to them soon. Also I’m not sure why, but my blog was blocked by the Chinese government for a while. I couldn’t access it from China. Now I’m back in Korea, so it’s all good.. but anyways-

We’ve been working on a few different projects lately. This one is a bus terminal in Trancoso, Portugal. Y’s first design. The physical model came out quite nicely. It was a huge chunk of plexi glass that was milled out of a CNC machine based on a nurbs-model built in Rhino and Maya.

We also finished a competition recently for which we are now waiting to hear some results. I will post some images of the competition in the near future.
