Welcome to

So you want to get into design? You can start by buying a lot of books that you won’t read, or you can test out the waters by finding free sources of information online. The internet is a great thing indeed. There is a lot of garbage to filter out, but if you do a few searches, you will find what you are looking for. I wanted to talk about the different types of tutorials that you can find online. There are hundreds of design tutorial sites, but i will only focus on the few that i actually visit.

Whether you’re looking for photoshop tutorials or autocad tutorials, you can find them for free online. A good place to start is tutorialized.com. They have a wide selection of different type of web tutorials. If you are a visual learner, you could try doing a few searches on youtube for video tutorials. Good-tutorials is also a good place for web designers to seek out some knowledge.

If anything, you can always do a google search for tutorials. Just search with “blank tutorials” and i’m sure that you will find something on the first page. You can also try the source of the program you are trying to learn. Check out their website. They should have a lot of tutorials on their site that can guide you through the learning process.

Zaha Hadid , She is one og the most famous female architects in our time. She is an architect who consistently pushes the boundaries of architecture and urban design.  She is the firs and only female architect who got Prizker Architecture Prize in 2004. She was born Oct.31, 1950 in Baghdad, Iraq.  Whe studied Mathematics in American University of Beirut. Then She Moved to study at The ARchitectural Association School of Architecture in London.  She was working with Rem Koolhass who is her former teacher. ( I posted Rem Koolhass’s work in my previous post. ^^)  She became a partner in OMA in 1977. She is currently Progessor at the Univerity of Applied Art Vienna in Austria.

Zaha Hadid, i have to say she uses curved line so well. She uses it so beutifully that make her spaces or objects like an art piece. very feminine and at the same time very futuristic. 

This Kitchen was designed by Zaha Hadid

During Design Week in Milan, Zaha Hadid created a futuristic kitchen setting out of DuPont Corian. The Z-Island Kitchen included two main units, one associated with “fire,” which housed the cooktop, and one associated with “water,” which had the sink and dishrack. In addition to these fairly basic functions, the “sensory- responsive kitchen environment” had multimedia sound and video equipment embedded into the islands, all of which could be controlled with a central touch panel. The modular wall storage featured a coating that gave it “advanced sound and light diffusion capabilities” to enhance the overall experience of being in the room

This Z-Island Kitchen seems cool but too futuristic to me. too white. it seems it will be perfectly fits in movie called ” The Island”  by the way i never liked the movie. actually the movie sucks….

( sorry about i don’t have the sideview picture here -,.-)  very simple but very elegant.

Most hotels’ guest rooms are almost same except suits.

but this hotel’s guest rooms are designed by famous architects. u can have such a unique experience in each room.

it is like a minimalist museum. i never been this hotel yet, but when i have a chance it will be difficult to decide which guest room will i stay. ^^

I’m going to try to make money with this blog so that i can stay at that hotel.
