2014 at Woodbury University School of Architecture
This is a short film created with a compilation of amazing render animation, as well as researched information and imagery from the inter- web.
The beginning animation was created by Nuno Moser as a final project for Arqui300 Academy Masterclass 2011. And we reused it here for our class project.Thanks
The voice overs are done by Rawan, Alex and myself. Obviously the accents were horrible but we thought it would give the footage more of a one upper from the other groups work.
The soundtracks, although i would love to have composed and performed on my own are classical compositions that I grew up appreciating.

Fire balloon
A fire balloon (風船爆弾, fūsen bakudan, lit. balloon bomb), or Fu-Go (Windship Weapon), was a weapon launched by Japan during World War II. A hydrogen balloon with a load varying from a 15 kg (33 lb) antipersonnel bomb to one 12-kilogram (26 lb) incendiary bomb and four 5 kg (11 lb) incendiary devices attached, they were designed as a cheap weapon intended to make use of the jet stream over the Pacific Ocean and drop bombs on American and Canadian cities, forests, and farmland.
The balloons were relatively ineffective as weapons but were used in one of the few attacks on North America during World War II.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
