The link i provided leads to a video from Ted. com.
It is about a woman who was diagnosed with a brain tumor, but is fortunate enough to survive such a horrible ordeal. She speaks of the many new "experiences" that she gains as a result of this brain tumor. The amount of happiness and new things including well wishes and gifts as a result of having the brain tumor allowed her to realize that things may not always be bad even if it may seem so; her outlook on life had been changed due to this brain tumor.
The main message that she was trying to bring across is that one should never only look at things negatively even if it may seem so at the beginning. Instead one should take this "bad gift" and look for opportunities from it look for the positives that can be gained from it; where the bad gift will end up gifting you with good experiences.
For my design which we have to incorporate the idea of "Gifting" with our last week's project of "Gathering", i decided to show the message from the "Gifting" through the form of my building.
I want to show the contrast between the negative and positive aspects; where one end of my building will take more of a distinct obtrusive form similar to that of the brain tumor and as we progress, the building takes on a more friendly form. (I will discuss this idea further later)
