The drawing (up) was created on the bases of pictures that I had taken in China (down), forming a imaginary "manor house in my mind".The aim is to present the site with a Deja vu experience -- I feel like I've been there before. This experience relates to one's past life which I used my photos to represent my memory.
Followings are the answers to my tutor's question:
Question:
How do you decide to connect them together?
What are the rules?
THE ELEMENTS
The function of a space is sometimes made by the things within it, e.g. furniture and decoration.
To create domestic room that has a window (that light the house, there is no the concept of DIM without the LIGHT, what is cover by the light is the focus of the whole drawing, the window is a connection of outdoor and indoor space, and the connection of outside and inside thinking), a fireplace (the symbol of climate, and usually become the center of a room that a place for gathering and chatting, an active space), a large mirror (it can express the scene outside the frame, behind the viewer, revealing something that’s hidden), paintings (paintings, especially portraits, represent the western’s lifestyle and value, painting is a way to express personal style and interests, and painters and arts are highly respected for that period of time, particularly in the upper society, only those who were not worried about food could afford the mental consumption. The content of the painting can also reveal the social status of the owner to the space.), a door (a door suggests another space behind it, a half-opened door distract the attention, attracting the desire to peep to the background scale), a desk/table by the window (it is like a platform that another major symbol of mass activities in a domestic room, the image of a poet/writer is always working by the desk, the desk is the work place that represent productivity, and therefore becomes covered by the light – a space highlighted), a person (it might be a writer, facing the window, looking to the outside world, it’s not facing the viewer so it’s attitude towards this room cannot be read by facial expression, the viewer can only guess and feel through the position and gesture of the sitting person. Exposing to the light from the window and the long shadow, the person becomes the user of the space), decorations (they are the trace of human activities; the style of decorations represents certain time that they belong to).
THE ATMOSPHERE
a dim space with light brightening certain part of the room
The fireplace is not at the center of the drawing and no one is around it, the main character sits against it, creating a sense of loneliness.
The half-opened door attracts the desire to peep to the darkness and the unknown. The peeping boy behind the door, on the contrary, wants to see what’s inside, a space that’s different from where he stands. The boy is hidden in the darkness, creating a sense of loneliness and haunted atmosphere.
What was the context?
See, be seen and unseen;
Time and activity;
Stillness, movement and moment;
Inner and outer
How do you know the work is an inquiry to something?
What is the next photograph in this series?
How does that work?
What are the changes?
How do you identify the changes?
REREAD
1. Replace with other thing that makes people has related thinking, e.g. replace a fireplace with a chimney?
How do you decide to connect them together?
What are the rules?

REREAD
1. Replace with other thing that makes people has related thinking, e.g. replace a fireplace with a chimney?
2. Move the items to new places; rearrange them, maybe with or without certain rule.
3. adding the speed element, add the movement to the room, implicating the activity in the space.
Now, I think, the drawing is like my fecsimile of Vermeer's paintings -- use domestic topic to present the owner/user's life in the architecture. But my drawing here contains objects of different scale, time zone and direction...... which should be the architectural concept that my project is about.
