User Created Contents, UCC

Omg, I just put the tag in and everything got ERASED....wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh... where to begin with......

So..This is first UCC by DaewooEnC student ambassadors.

Our first mission was promote Prugio(Daewoo's apartment) by creating UCC.

We(My group, group 3) wanted to promote in indirected way.

It was a street event that anyone can join, and we imprinted the name Prugio on their head!

We went out on the street with a big white house-shaped board.

We gathered random people and asked what kind of house do you want?

As their answers, I drew their design with the tablet. And beam-projector shoot the design on the white board.

People could take pictures in the house they want.

We met street singers, lovers, friends, old couple, students and more.

After drawing, we gave them little seeds. In that way, we could promote Prugio's eco-friendly concept.

It was fun and warm event. The weather was really cold but seems like people really enjoyed it.

But that was not it.

We had only one day to edit. This event has to be held on Saturday, and the week before that day was raining.

And we lost our cable, my laptop wasn't working, encoding was way too slow, blah blah blah...

I spent the whole day figuring out what the problem is, and couldn't fix it.

I mean, even though i really wanted to work, nothing went on my way.

I was exhausted and kept saying `It's not working and I'm so busy.'

I felt really screwed up. and ashamed :(

I handed editing part over to other member.

I'm glad it turend out pretty well, but still, I don't feel 100% confident and happy.

After all, It was a good experience :)

It was my, and our first time working together and we have learned a lot.

To pay back I should do my best on promotion! :)

I uploaded this video on Naver(Korean Google, I must say) and this video got a big hit!

To check click here! if you can read Korean :P

Please leave a comment on my blog or Naver. That will help me a lot! :)

Field trip to tidal power plant!

I'm a design person, not an architect or engineer.

But as you know, you can not survive being good at only one thing unless you're a genius.
and since I'm not a genius designer, I'm trying to look further things beside design.
Daewoo student honorary ambassador offers me this chance to see tidal power plant.

But wait, is there any realation between tidal power plant and design?
well, I'll see.



This is a miniature of `Sihwaho tidal power plant.
It might seems mini, but it's the world's biggest tidal plant.



`Sihwaho' is a big artificial lake.
It took 6 years to be completed. (1988-1994)
People were planning to pull sea water into a lake, and use water for agricultural.
It didn't work out quite well.
Factory sewage and domestic sewage got into the lake, and caused water pollution.
So they changed the plan.



The new plan was building a tidal power plant.

Tidal power, sometimes also called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power.
Although not yet widely used, tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power. Historically, tide mills have been used, both in Europe and on the Atlantic coast of North America. The earliest occurrences date from the Middle Ages, or even from Roman times.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So every visted student had to wear helmet.



I was very impressed the way they show visitors how they work.
They have this whole program for visitors.
They show their construction site and have a room for a short lecture.



This gentleman explained everything about Sihwawho tidal power plant.
He was quite funny! :D
Everyone who work for this plant are very proud of themselves. Which is really respecful.



Every ambassadors were really enthusiastic!
They took lots of pictures and ask many questions.
Most of them are major in architect but not everyone.
It was good to know many different students.
Seems like they enjoy this field trip :)



This is our group, group 3 'Who are we?' lol
One member missing, because of the surgery.
The very left tall guy is our group leader.

Then we went to a huge restaurant next to mud plat,
AND THERE WAS A HUGE ACCIDENT!
well, only for me.

I don't want to explain every detail.
I'll tell you one thing. It was about my tooth, and I had to come back and went to dentist.
So...Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy whole field trip.
Really sucks :(
I heard rest of them had a lot of fun that day.
But well, Shit happens.
Eventhough I was disappointed, I was very impressed at the same time.
Our chiefs really worried for me and took care of me really well.
I felt like we'd known for many years. Even my friends wouldn't treat me like that.
I felt so lucky to get to know people from Daewoo EnC and Brain league.
I can't thank them enough.

This was our very first field trip.
There's gonna be more and more.
And we are working on new project. We're making UCC!
Every group make UCC and compete for the prize.
I'll post about it soon. Sooooo exciting! :)

Snow in March!

We had heavy snow last night.
on March 10th!
Unbelievable. It's like winter everywhere. hella cold also.
What the heck is going on? @_@
I hope this could be the very last time for me to wear that thick ugly winter coat.
Come on spring, I'll be nice to you!

And I watched Alice in Wonderland (3d) at the theater with my boyfriend.
It was great as I expected. and that's it.
It was not really shocking or anything, but still, Tim Burton is a crazy genius fo sho.
I was in a bad mood today, before I watch the movie.
And that movie made me feel better.

Speaking of bad mood, I feel like I'm treating people in a wrong way.
Not sure yet.
But I'm sure I'll get hurt if I find out that's true.
Maybe I should change myself little by little..

I really need a new layout for this blog.
And this blogspot won't let me change the way I want to.
Should I move it to Wordpress?

New start

My junior year started last week.
I just scheduled all my classes. It's going to be mad busy every Sunday and Monday :(
Anyway,
this year, I started trying several new things.
Daewoo E&C's student honorary ambassador is the one thing.
I finally got in!
Every one is in a group. I'm in group 3. Great team :)
We haven't talked much, but we will get together soon, maybe this week.
So, I got a chance to meet whole new people this time.
Industry-University corporation class is another thing.
I'll be work on a project with company "D'strict"
The hottest design company in Korea I guess :)
Basically it's an UX studio.
So they design experiences. Mostly interactive designs and holograms.

Next Generation 3d media façade: Seoul National Univ & d'strict from d'strict on Vimeo.

This is one of their work. pretty cool! huh?
They call it `2.5D' design. It's not 3d, because it's not real.
visit their website(click!) to see more stuff. (written in English!)
I wasn't sure to take this class before I visit their studio.
It's going to be very a tight class. I'll see how to deal with it.
