The Scent of an Orris

Chapter 38

Iginala ko ang mga mata ko sa bawat sulok ng kwarto, ito yung kwarto na binabalandra kapag may mga bisita dahil sa gawa ng mga estudyante.

Inside the room, you will see miniatures of various famous buildings designed by renowned architects. These are small versions of iconic structures like the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, and more. These miniatures showcase the excellence and impressive designs of architects who have made significant contributions to the field of architecture.

Also included in the displays are miniatures of student-designed buildings demonstrating their skill and creativity in creating architectural concepts. You can see these as small models of buildings they have invented, showcasing their ideas and perspectives on architecture.

Another fascinating part of the displays are the outstanding work plates of the student showcasing exceptional projects and works

Among these displays, you will find my very own rest house design, which has been selected for exhibition. Hindi lahat ng estudyante ay napagbibigyan na madisplay ang gawa nila kaya sobrang proud ako dahil sa lahat ng freshmen last year ay napili ang gawa ko

"This will be your practice design problem. I will ask Miss Fuentes about the next dahil siya ang magiging instructor ng Design 1 hanggang Design 4 for the competition" sabi ni Sir Francis

Tiningnan ko naman ang binigay niyang papel at binasa ko ang design problem na nakasulat doon. Sa unang tingin ay parang madali pero kapag talaga inintindi mo nang maayos, masasabing medyo complex pala ito

It's all about the couple who are envisioning the construction of a tropical rest house with a stunning view of the sea in Cebu, Philippines. They are planning for a family of five, including three children, in the future.

Ang challenge dito ay to design a sustainable tropical rest house in Cebu with a panoramic view of the sea, integrating green architecture and organic architecture concepts to create a residence that is environmentally responsible, energy-efficient, and conducive to the well-being of the family. The design should embrace the coastal setting, optimize natural resources, and provide a comfortable and inspiring living environment for the couple and their future three children

While looking at the design problem, I began envisioning potential solutions and considering different approaches. Limited lang kasi ang sukat ng lupa kaya dapat pag-isipan ng maayos ang planning

"Got it, Miss Rivera?" Tanong ni Sir Francis kay Ariel. Tumango naman siya, halatang seryoso

Napansin siguro ni Sir Francis na seryoso kaming dalawa ni Ariel kaya nagpaalam na siya at binigyan kaming oras upang pag-aralan ang design problem, mayroon din daw siyang aasikasuhin kaya wala kaming pasok sa design namin. Nang makaalis na siya ay pinicturan ni Ariel ang papel at tiningnan ako

Until now, I still can't believe that she was chosen for this competition.  Sa totoo lang, marami sa amin ang nagtaka at hindi makapaniwala. Pati sina Tracy at Ally ay hindi rin makapaniwala na siya ang napili for the competition. Nasabi pa nga ni Tracy na baka gawa ni Dylan ang plates na pinasa ni Ariel

Kalat na rin pala na in relationship silang dalawa dahil sa hard launch ni Ariel. Lahat yata ng DP niya sa lahat ng social media niya ay picture na kasama si Dylan

"Kapag inggit, pikit" bulong niya at tiningnan ako. Sa halip na pansinin siya, nagdesisyon akong tumayo na upang lumabas

Alam kong naghahanap lang siya ng away at hindi ko naman iyon papatulan

Palabas naman na ako sa room nang makita ko si Ma'am Monica kasama si Miss Wendy at ang ibang SC student

"Louize, hindi kaba sasama?" Tanong ni Miss Monica
