25.Sep 2015 Canterbury campus tour


This day was very long day. I got up early and quick preparation to go to Canterbury campus tour.

Farnham to Canterbury was quite long way but when I arrive to there, I felt freshness.


The first impression in UCA of Canterbury was lively because there are a lot of market near the campus and people.


In the campus, I enjoyed to two work shop which are about architecture. First one was something like hoop architecture that used by red hula-hoops and white connectors. It was first time to make huge architecture. I had to think about the balance and angle.

It was very interesting but I enjoyed more second one.







Second one was making the leaning tower which is also huge like more than 1m. First of all I was thinking about what materials can I use. I research about leaning tower by my phone then I found one tower that it looks like paper. That is why I decided to use materials which is hard light brown paper. It was too big to use so I had to cut the paper by using saw which is very noisy sound while using to it and it have very strong power to use. Each part of papers were all flat so I rolled it and cut for connecting. Finally it was completed which is paper leaning tower. It looked very nice and aesthetic tower I thought. But I had a worry about egg test that if it will be good or not.

When the egg test it successful just 10 second but I felt so happy.








To be honest, I'm not interesting architecture, but through this work shop, I could learn a lot of thing especially which is how to build. I had good experiences about architecture.
