Start from a question, the main theme of the story. The question keeps zooming out of the scene.

Passing through somewhere, the models moving right side, the instruciton going up from the lieft side.

Integerate the real footage with the 3D models, showing buildings may not like the way they are.

Different perspectives of the buildings

Use 3D models to animate a scene to metaphor the feeling of the buildings

Another metaphor

Story reverse play, change to the scene but shows different perspective and style, means the reality may not like what it is. Could be better.

Look around the environment, different styles.

It doesn't feel like what it looks like, it could be better could be worse.

The outward of the mechine-like buildings. Integerate the scene with the instructions.

The instructions, go through the entire video as a explaination of what a building might think of.

Happy ending

Assignment_2 - 150_words_narrative_from_Assignment 1

As The Machine in Architectural Thinking depicts, mechanisation has been taken to refer to the designs and movements which imposed the machine and the machine made look as “the chief aesthetic prototypes of the twentieth century”(Lefaivre, L & Tzonis, A 1985). The connection between the machine and architectural thinking has been massively adopted in building technology, therefore the machine-like buildings are more and more common. But think about this, what was the first machine-like building think what he is? People may not question this because buildings are meant to be built, whatever the outward appearance looks like as long as people need and like them. Consequently, the changes between the buildings are following the architectural thinking, the thinking of the architect. But no one knows what the building think if they have a real life. There is nothing too strange in this vast world, one day, maybe a building will start questioning his appearance, maybe a building will start doubting the connection between machine and architecture, maybe the thing is not simple as what we visualize.
