PUSS IN BOOTS

Following is a conversation between two people.

Person 1- You know what? I was speechless after I saw your eyes.... You don't know, they are full of emotions. 
Person 2- What? What do you mean?
Person 1- Your eyes can talk to people. This is the first time I experienced such a thing in my whole life time
Person 2- Really? No one has told me this before
Person 1- Have you watched the movie Puss in Boots?
Person 2- No! why?
Person 1- The cat in that movie does the same thing as you do. That's the most closest example I would give you. Trust me I went speechless.

and here is the link which person 2 received from person 1 which is similar to person 1's eyes.


AMAYA LAKE

When I first visited Amaya Lake Hotel in Dambulla Sri Lanka in 2011, I got really inspired by it's interior and exterior. The hotel it self holds a very modern but Sri Lankan style designs which lead me to choose it as one of our selections for the history assignment.




ROMANCE BEHIND MOUNT LAVINIA HOTEL

When I did a history lesson back in 2009 at school, my teacher thought us about a governor who came to Sri Lanka named Sir Thomos Maitland. what lead her to tell us this amazing love story between the governor and a gypsy girl named Lovina Aponsuwa who was half Sri Lankan and half Portuguese, which was the birth story of a grand old Hotel in Sri Lanka, Mount Lavinia Hotel. That was the first time I wanted to visit this hotel. Fortunately I got a chance to visit it and to research about it and its history and the secret romance, for one of our history lessons at college. Following is the presentation board we did for this which was a group assignment.


OPEN THEATER

Since my restaurant is a design which tries its best to highlight the Rio Carnival, I wanted to reserve more space to the dancing performers. I had an idea of designing an open space for this, where I got influenced by an open theater in Lunugamvehera Sri Lanka.




WAR

When my first model didn't worked out the way I wanted, I went for a second model which was my final for the model making project with an influence from the movie transformers. I wanted to show how the machinery would attack the world some day in the near future, and the bad side of the development of technology. Transformers made it easy for me to extract my idea to come up with my final which is one of my favorites.








 


PAPER ARCHITECTURE

This is a very smooth way of designing various types of things. There is a wide range of designs you can do using paper architecture, from a simple box to a complicated detailed building. The reason why I got inspired by this style is the beauty which a simple paper holds. I'm hoping to use this style of architecture for my future model making.


NUMB

It was then when I first saw this video of Linkin Park, I started to fall in love with drawing statues. In the middle of this video they show a small clip of the girl who seemed to be an artist doing a drawing of a statue of mother Mary. It gives a very special feeling which you can't get by just drawing something else. I'm hoping to do a sculpture on the ceiling of my restaurant using my talent of drawing statues.
