2 weeks ago we had a party to celebrate the completion of our new office.. it was fantastic to see so many friends at the same place mingling together, and definitely has warmed up the space for us!
We started preparation around 2 hours before the party was starting... other than Phin who had a clear idea of what she was going to make, due to an extremely busy week the conversation at that point in time was more like: "lets make some canapes" "sound good! but what is canape?" "let me google it.."
But hey! it was all part of the fun!
Ready for the party?!
Phin making dumpling from scratch, JJ is there to help

Thank you everyone for coming, it was great to see you all and we should do this again!!
In exploring the ambiguous boundary in architecture, Facet Studio and students from UNSW have put together the exhibition: Ambiguous Boundary, at UNSW Red Centre Gallery to showcase the associated writings and case studies.
Opening night at UNSW Red Centre Gallery
The thoughts and observations presented by some students were surprisingly insightful, and have given out much clues for further research and discussion. We will be posting the exhibited writings and topics in a series soon.
layout of the space also formed part of the exhibition - from certain view points it is a maze with no exit, from other view points glimpses of the outside can be caught.
We wish to thank Dr. Stanislaus Fung and UNSW (University of New South Wales) for their generous support!
Today we have had a student visiting to present his final design project of the year.
It was a nice event for us. To be participating in the growth of young architects-to-be, in a way it is quite a privilege - in fact to be able to contribute in the education system is a privilege in itself.
The student design scheme is located in a heritage jail site, with some delicate siting and functional issues.

With the sun setting over glittering Sydney Harbour Bridge outside our window, we enjoyed the intense but intellectual session as a pleasant ending to this busy week.
