Packaging up Doshisha

Doshisha is finally going in for tender this week, hooray!

While we were in Osaka, the tender package was largely completed, left with some minor refinements further from discussions with Doshisha University committee...
Here are some snapshots of the last day the Sydney team spent in Osaka office.

meeting after meetings during the day...

dinner feast... THE best thing about Japan (or Osaka) is that quality food is easily obtainable at reasonable price.   All these were bought from local supermarket at something like AUD$1.50-$4.00/ dish (including fresh sashimi).  This feast is for 3 people.  Even ordering bento delivery is as low as AUD $4.00....
Sydney feels so expensive (my breakfast today cost AUD$8.00 which is a muffin + a coffee).... 

drawing sets ready for Doshisha University committee review
We ended up with some70-80 A1 drawings, these are A3 reductions....blood sweat tears for sure.

ongoing material sample palette (yes it is very controlled, very FS-like, hohoho~)

my seat in front of the pinboard with WIP 1:1 details and facade module studies and more...

Yoshi tirelessly working away (working off adrenaline at that point in time..)

....and this is sunrise by the time we left the office...just in time for the morning rush hour, except we were travelling in opposite direction to head back to hotel to take shower.
special note on the beautiful Rietveld's Red and Blue Chair to the right of photo....love that chair and miss sitting on it enjoying the bargain feast from local supermarket!  Ahh little things in life...
