Situated Writing
Artifact #01 A
Artifact #01 B
Spatialised Text
Non-Spatialised Text
Reflection:
I think the spatialised text is laid out in a manner where it makes the reader think very carefully of what they are seeing. To spot the message or the meaning behind the different arrangement of words, letters and shapes. It is a creative way to pull the reader's attention towards the page. Whereas, non-spatialised text in a way can be considered as a plain and compacted template, where words, fonts, font sizes/styles follows a strict rule to create more of a formal writing.
Comparison:
While diagraming the two text (spatialised/non-spatialised), the spatialised text creates many unique patterns and shapes, using words, letters and sentences which really resonates the most with the idea of architectural design. It communicate a way in which does not require a reader to read through every words of the page, but allows them to understand the meaning through the use of a combinations of components such as words, lines, and shapes to form a bigger image.

Text Cut Up and Provocative Actions
Reflection:
The Provocative text action and cut up techniques are both great examples, as each of them tells the same story but in a different way. I think the provocative text resonates the most with the idea of architectural design, as it repesents a shape of a 'wall'. It is also easier to interpret and understand, then the cut up method.
200 words 'the remix' :
There is a wall within our town. Not too big, not too small. Just high enough for me to get on to. My mother told me that this unbreakable wall separating the two sides of the town of Anarres and the port of Anarres. Looking to one side, there is a town fills with families living in a harmonious environment. No restrictions. No interruption.
Vibrant green grass flourishing throughout the town sounds birds chirping while soaring through the lapis blue sky. Sound of chatter and laughter fills this beautiful town. Parents let their kids run around this town without any fear of danger.
Everyone knows everyone. Not even an ant goes unnoticed.
My friends and I decided to go to the park to play some basketball. On the way there we notice a sound coming from the roadway.
*Vrrooom* *Vrrooom* A strange rusted vehicle entered the town of Anarres. Everyone stared at this strange, deformed object as it goes through our town heading to the wall. I heard a faint scream from a distance, from the direction of my house. Stood there was my mother, yelling my name.
"Come back home!", she exclaimed. Her face went pale like she has seen a ghost.

200 words 'the novel' :
I had built this wall with my own bare hands, over sixty-acre of land surrounded by it. Hoping to expand my town into the land. One day, there were sounds of vehicles coming through the town of Anarres. Vehicles filled with armed man, ready to pull their trigger. I was asked to meet their captain at the wall. An old scruffy man and muscles that can rip through his whole uniform with just a little tense. I felt intimidated as he approached me in front of my house.
"We're taking over that land", he states with a terrorizing tone without waiting for a response. He walks back to his vehicle and drove through the gate. They knock down the gate and fill the wall, cutting through the roadway, turning the wall into a line, an idea of boundary.
A few month have past by, there were no people or vehicle going in or out. There were no sounds coming from the other side of the wall, dead silent. It is seem like it has been abandoned. They filled the base with crates full of weapons and machinery, a couple of cranes, three warehouses and a massive corroded spaceship stands over a rocket pad in the center of the field.
