MY MSA STATEMENT

Image
MY MSA STATEMENT Why study at MSA? Oprah Winfrey once said: “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you”. When I look back at this quote, I recall the times when I said to myself deliberately that I wanted to become a great architect. Of course, studying in a prestigious university determines the level of greatness. Therefore, I chose Manchester School of Architecture with the desire of becoming successful. Actually, my choice was not only based on the ratings attributed, but it was a mixture of different factors that aroused my interest for this school. In fact, MSA has always kept a high standard of teaching as we can observe from their constant academic performance. Through listening to famous alumnus’ positive feedbacks, I was intrigued by the school’s commitment and devotion to help students to achieve their goals. MSA provides the best tools and equipment out there when it comes to architecture. Consequently, studying architecture at ...

ARCHITECTURAL WORKS

Image
ARCHITECTURAL WORKS Having a passion for architecture means first of all showing a general interest in it. Therefore, I made some sketches and some drawings on buildings, houses and other structures. Moreover, if we believe in the proverb which says: ‘if you love something you need to prove it’ then I present to you my works which comes straight out from my imagination.

GLASS AND PLASTIC BOTTLE

GLASS AND PLASTIC BOTTLE On the left is an observational drawing that I made with a black pen and a pencil. The shapes are quite distinct and we can clearly observe a Hedges Butler glass bottle ( that I took from my father’s spirit collection, a squeezed plastic bottle and a shattered wine bottle.  The reason for choosing “bottle” is because across the whole wide world, the latter is the most common detritus in the environment. They are present as much as in waterbodies as on land. Actually, I can’t stress enough how 8 million tons of bottles at sea is outrageous for the marine life. It is estimated than as from 2050, there will be more bottles at sea than fishes.  Therefore, I drew these bottles made from different materials to raise awareness that these materials can be recycled, reused and reduced. Consequently, it is now important to think about making a move and save the environment. If actions do not speak louder than words, then, we can ...

OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING 1

OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING 1 Here are observational drawings of a pawpaw and a pineapple realised under certain conditions so as to obtain the different lightings and shadows. Acrylic paint and ink was used for a more realistic drawing. In fact, I made these drawings under the guidance and supervision of an art and design teacher. The latter asked me to bring my favorite fruits and draw it at different angles.  Actually, it took me a lot of trials and time to obtain the final result since I could not believe in myself in giving such a work. I learned to surpass myself through this observational drawing and knew that I had the capacity to draw and perhaps make better works.  I drew these fruits in view of the architectural portfolio that I had to submit to universities. Henceforth, I remind myself recurrently to never give up to achieve greater things whether it is in drawing or in my actual life.

PHOTOGRAPHY

PHOTOGRAPHY Besides drawing and sketching, I found a late passion for photography. In the past, I had a phone whose camera was very poor and had a low resolution. However, I was then given a phone implemented with AI technology and captured photos in high quality. My photography style was focused more on landscape because this is a feature that contributes enormously on the beauty of a country. Actually, these photos were taken from different countries but mostly in Mauritius. I should have added photos about the Mauritian people because they are one of a kind. Nevertheless, these are photos that I have taken with my AI implemented phone to immortalise the actual moment and review it in excitement while saying, “ Yeah! This was a good shot”.

CONSTRUCTION WORK

CONSTRUCTION WORK During my school years studying Design and Technology, I found great interest in the construction of models and artefacts. From my very first model to the last, I kept expanding my thoroughness and decency on the aesthetic and creative aspect thus, helping me in designing as well as building this architectural piece in view of the portfolio.
