Field trip Journal

Routes:

PNR statue → LAW buildings → QUADRANGLE buildings and Chancellors Courtyard→ NICHOLSON Museum → CHARLES Parkins → GILGAMESH statue next to Old Teachers College on the sports centre side → CONFUCIUS statue Old Teachers College courtyard → NAKED LADY statue Old Teachers College courtyard → Return to seminar room

During field trip, I looked through some structures (buildings, status) in campus. Actually, we could not go to the Charles Parkins Centre (CPC) because we do not have enough time. Although I do not know about purpose of structure and status exactly, I thought most status were related to part of major/ subject. For example, famous engineer status located in the engineering building side. There are some pictures. ( image file)

I searched ancient Pompeii city. The structure of Pompeii city was divided into various blocks and the houses built sharing party walls. The inward orientation of the Pompeian house had privacy enclosing the garden. Most windows on the street were small, high and opaque glass.

I think the environment/ scenery evoke some emotional reaction/ response. In case of Quadrangle buildings and Chancellors Courtyard, it gave grand feelings and described ancient structure such as building. Moreover, the Nicholson Museum exhibit ancient history such as Pompeii with lego. In particular, Confucius status is located in the Old Teachers College represents because he is one of the most influential teachers in Chinese history. Therefore, the architecture would like to reflect Confucius’ work.
