RAG 132 Built Environment

Leture 3

By saying so the view of the Buckminster Fuller, there is a assignment have to be completed.

A dome has to be built in 30 minutes with packaged and prefabricated materials. The product, dome has to be nice in view, recyclable, and able to be carried by 3 members of the team. There will be 5 persons of us to form a group. The dome is estimated can stand for 6 months. We followed the rules given.

The 6 elements that produce a product is obeyed, which are intention, act, actor, rule , site, and product. The product show our team name identity. Our team named GREEN PARADISE, which means that we are running on the recycle concept way. That why our motto says : "1, 2, 3 ........Green Action!!!"

Our team identities can be seen from the materials that we use. Collected plastic bags, bamboo, and ragged cloth are all the recyclable materials. Moreover, we have a transparent membrane. It is able to let the light comes into the dome. It also represents our team members co-operation without discrimination.

RAG 132 Built Environment

Lecture 2

There are 7 scales that we have to pay attention.
1 --- object
2 --- interior
3 --- building
4 --- premise
5 --- urban
6 --- regional
7 --- global

Earth is devided into east and west which also calls orient and occident and yet it is appearing eurocentrism. Eurocentrism means that people seeing the globe from the edge of european's view.

Pasific Rim exists along the west coast of north and south American and east coast of Asia.
When we see the world by the other way round, join the Pasific Rim up , will see there is a link between this 2 main land. Pasific ocean exists in the middle of 2 of the Pasific Rim. It raises a kingdom in between them so the region of the Pasific ocean can be said that it is a kingdom.

We are not only can see the globe by linking the Pasific Rim but also by Buckminster Fuller's view. To make a country to be a developed country, the region of the country must be developed. A lot of the constructions need to be carry out, and yet there are a lot of destructive developments. If citizen do not care about the global development, there will be a dying date for the globe included all the organisme of the earth.

RAG 132 Built Environment

LECTURE 1

Element of Production :

  • Intention
  • Act
  • Product
  • Rule
  • Action
  • Site

Let say that I am the actor. Intention is accompanied by knowledge. Knowledge gains when I am listening and reading. After that I try to understand what have I learned. Before putting it on my mind, I will act to differentiate it if it is right or false. By the same way it is a rule for me to obey. Product is the end result of the determination which is located on the site.

There is a lot of ism can use on the actor, such as altcuism which is a person that states a case no right or wrong. Cynicism person states that all circumstances are wrong. Relativism is the kind of person who will say everything is right, where criticism person states that somethings are right and somethings are wrong.


There are a few sections of forming global. Firstly, a few objects make an interior scene, coming by building. Buildings make it becomes premise and so urban. The urban areas make a regional cities and lastly, global is formed.
