4D Foundation Class ‘Image and Meaning’

1) Something that is not “NTU’ at all:

 

     Something not NTU at all

(In the morning)                                                    (At night)

 

Wild boar at hall of residence 9. People would not expect to see a wild boar in a school, let alone among the residences.  It may seem surprising to people outside NTU, at least that was the case for me before I came here.

2) Somebody not studying in NTU:

Cleaner uncle at NIE. Even though he is obviously not a person studying in NTU, I feel that they hold an important role in maintaining a conducive environment for all of us to study in.

3) Somebody studying in NTU:

Group of students discussing about a project at North Spine.

4) Useless image you see:

Ceiling of the EOS. It shows some design but you cannot make out what it is exactly. It could be a bridge linking to other areas for all you know so it does not tell us anything useful.

5) Useful image you see:

Useful image you see

AED Machine and Defibrillator. Useful for any emergency situations where anyone nearby suffer from myocardial infarction.

6) Nature:

Small forested area behind hall 9. I did not spot any man made pavements through the area and it seems to be safe from any human activities for now.

7) Urban nature:

Modern style plants in North Spine. It is a combination of urban structures and plants which are specially chosen with characteristics suitable for comfortable growth with lesser sunlight.

8) Urban:

Urban gives me the idea of a concrete jungle. This stairway, though useful, is situated in a confined area of concrete.

9) Singapore:

Majula Singapura Crest on path outside SIM Tech.

10) A place where art is shown:

Art Gallery at NIE.  If you actually zoom in, you can see that there is an upcoming exhibition held in the art gallery by Dr Iskandar Jalil on ‘ A master potter’s philosophy and process ’ from 17 Aug to 16 Sep.

11) A place where art is made:

ADM Building where new ideas and perspectives about art are created daily.

12) A photograph with a faculty:

NIE staff in the canteen.

13) EOS:

EOS where students learn more about geography and conduct fundamental research on earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami and climate change in and around Southeast Asia, towards safer and more sustainable societies.
