    Describe a interior design of office This is a place about film, or we could say it is a place where people gathered to do something for a film. The film industry is an industry with a sense of ceremony. From script to shooting, screening to watching, no matter for director or audience, space in and between the curtain with 24 frames per second, and every dramatic clip, they are part of the film. Film is not just a linear narrative. Every film shot connects different places, people and moments into a whole. It is the same with space. This project is a film office, what LZA did is not just finding themes from the movies to complete this design, but also presented behavior of different people in this space through "wall frames"- dramatic moments are the real charm of a movie. Stories that weave in and out the wall frames build the logic of the whole design. In the design, LZA wants to create a feeling of old modern; but it is not a retro of only one specific style. Sense of structure of steel tube and leather of the furniture, words on the wall, light emitting light box, all different details are used to immerse people in the feeling of a so-called old golden age of movie. At the center of the space there is a PARTY and a small projection room. LZA creates a pure white area, an abstract and surreal space where pink installation adds sense of dramatic. Materials and color are mainly in black and white as film itself is art of light and shadow in black and white. Black materials of different texture together convey different feelings. Words on the walls are the names of the directors' first films. First cry is taken as the name of this space, for the feeling given by the first cry of a baby is the truest one. Office is not just a place to work, every office has his soul which has to do with emotion, professional and behavior. The essence of design is to create connection of emotion and need between space and its user.

    Why does the Galaxy and the Atom look the same? Related to Deleuze’s discussion of the actual and the virtual,he said, there is no purely actual object,every actuality surrounds itself with a fog of virtual images. The processing above shows how does actuality surround with virtual fog. The middle point represents the actual object, other particles absorbed and emitted by the object. It is the relationship between objects and particles. Objects are constantly changing by exchanging particles. The surface of the actual object covered by the virtual cloud which is constituted by particles’ movement.Those particles are unstable, so the cloud constituted by particles both exists and also does not exist. Rules of actuality covered by virtual cloud can be improved by both the microscopic aspect and the macroscopic aspect, with the constant accumulation, quantitative change become to qualitative change. Atom system is an atomic nucleus in the center covered by electronic particles. Different number of electronic particles defines the different types of chemical element. Also, the particles have their own virtual cloud. Meanwhile, the solar system looks the same, the sun in the middle, other planets go around in different layers, which mean all of the matter in the universe follows the rule of constantly changing. Deleuze also said “At the center of the cloud of the virtual. There is yet another virtual of a higher order...Each virtual particles surround itself with its virtual cosmos, and each in turn does the same, indefinitely.” There is not a particular shape for space and time. No one can see them, but they can be felt in spirit. The spirit is the opposite of matter. Objects and particles are matter. The processing above shows how do objects and particles transform in many ways by the abstract form in space and time. Actual object needs to exist in space. Without object, space is meaningless. And the object is always in a state of motion.The state of motion can be measured in time. Change is the movement of particles, and it occurs everywhere and every moment. Without change, everything is the same from the past to the future. Time became meaningless, too.

    ideas about time and space 1. Objects are constantly changing by exchange the particles. From the microscopic aspect to macroscopic aspect, with the constantly accumulation, from quantitative to qualitative change. 2. Changing happens in the unimaginable minimum of time, it shows changing occurs continuing from the beginning of the world to the end of the universe. 3. The surface of object is particles. Those particles are unstable so the cloud constituted by particles is exists and also not exist. And particles also have their own virtual cloud, it means all of the matter in the universe follow the rule of constantly changing. 4. The concept of time is perceived by people. Different scale of ‘people’ use different length of time. In the macroscopic aspect, the instant even cannot be aware by people, the same length of time in the microscopic aspect is as long as eternal. Changing is the movement of particles, occurs everywhere and every moment. People use the observable and organized changing to perceive the passage of time. For instance, people define day time by the period cycle of the sun. Changing is not a circle, matter change from an ordered situation to a discorded situation. Although sunrise and sunset every day, it’s not the same sunrise and sunset, so time is not in a circle, the beginning and the end of a day is not the same beginning and end of the other day, not even an instant moment is repeating. Time has a direction. If there is no more changing, all of the matter maintain their situation, from the past to the future, then time lost its meaning. So changing is the rule to measure time.

    NEW OFFICE Office interior design,this is a transformation of an old building.The fifth floor of the building is used for our new office.The design seeks to make up for the building’s inconsistent style with renovating exterior facades and leveling up building heights. We decorate the structure of the pillars to make the office space look larger.The middle two rows of pillars are made with wooden book aisle.

    Something about my life I'd like to talk about my job first.I have been graduated for almost five years and I have had four jobs during these years.All of the jobs offered me a position as an architect.While I was working,I drew a lot of pictures with computer to illustrate my design of architectures.Sometimes the Clients will give me some advices to change the design and concept.I often worked overtime. The first three companies are in Beijing.I had a break of working for 9 months.Then the year before last year I decided to move to Shanghai and I took my 4th job there.And now I quit my job again because I received an offer from UK university last week. Because it was a conditional offer,so I have to past the IELTS exam,they required me a 6.5 score that I didn't reach it in my last test in the last month.I will take a training lesson about IELTS skill next Monday.Now I learn it by myself with this website. Recently I made some new study partners,I practiced speaking with Skype,I called some native speakers to chat,they were very kind to talk to me and pointed what was wrong during my speech.I think I have a progress in speaking. I am very excited about the study life in UK,I will travel many cities and visit many attractions or famous spots.I wish this experience will turn on my life in the future.

    我学习中文的安排

    我的想法就是,早起的鸟有虫吃。不管哪一天, 每天早七点闹钟都会响。因为我把闹铃弄成中文博客,所以闹铃发出声的时候,我一听见它,学中文的一天就开始了。多半每个星期早上上三节高级综合的课,一节课三个小时左右。下课之后我常一个人去泡咖啡厅,边喝咖啡边学习三个到六个小时!假如早上没有课的话,我就抓紧时间做自己的研究,整齐整理材料,看论文,写论文,创造绘制图解等。接下来,我继续学习中文。如果在路上的话,买菜,购物,什么的,我就听中文的博客或新闻,被动提高听力能力。甚至坐地铁或的士时,我也学习。在iPad 上有一个有用的app叫skritter。通过skritter我学会怎么写几千多个汉字。每晚大概九十点回家,埋头念了一天,基本上我差点累死了,但是我坚持。睡觉之前我看一节中文的节目。最近三个月我看着“人活一张脸。” 时而我成为有有时候我有一点懒,比如我看一节英文的节目或看英文的小说,但是我看周边的外国人,发现我最懒的一天相当于他们的最努力的一天。

    大家也许看我的安排有着两个不同的想法,第一这小伙伴有病,一天到晚学习!第二认为他是一个学霸,很聪明。我想强调,我不是聪明,而是努力,我就能吃的得苦中苦,方为人上人。因为中文不是天下最容易的任务语言,所以每天必须抓紧时间学习,笨鸟先飞。我真的认为,如果你想把一件事学好,你必须把它放在你的眼前,动不动天天学习它,动不动奋斗往前走,动不动提高自己。好好学习,天天向上!

     

    你写的真的很棒,加油!是我见过最棒的外国人写的中文作文。
