Architecture Design I
Project 3
Project task & overview
In project 3, the student will look back at the tectonic structure and further develop it to a Sensory Space (20m3 , +- 3 m3 ) to anticipate and accommodate users’ needs and emotions.
From here, the student will identify a dominant theme from the understanding of emotion and enhance the structure to create a poetic architectural representation and own reinterpretation of Tectonic. The student's sensitivity to the articulation and mastery of spatial experience should ignite a sensorial experience for the user during this pandemic period.
Use the skills that are learned in Design Communication to create an architectural drawing depicting this.
The student is to create a set of diagrams (tattoo stamps) to express the design/ideas using the knowledge that are retained from the previous projects. The diagrams should represent three aspects of the design from its conception and intention to its finality. The first aspect is to depict the translation and interpretation of intention and conception of the design from the tectonic structure. The second aspect is to extract and highlight the main idea/themes from the final design as how the student have done within the first and second project. The third aspect is to capture the user’s response through the understanding of anthropometry and ergonomics.
Design Intention
The design intention of this project is to further explore the result from project 2 and develop a series of motion. Derived from the back view of the project 2 model, the structure is slightly too simple and couldn't represent the main theme nicely. The dominant theme chosen is "hopeful" which represents the hope in overcoming the pandemic period.
Reflection
In this section, I learnt a lot of things from the tutor. I was more aware of the space I had created during the design development process. There were also more detailed study on ergonomics and anthropometry.
During the process, I've further learnt how to draw human figure more neatly and how to correctly draw an exploded axonometric
drawing as I did it wrong during project 2
On the other hand, I finalized my design too late again this time and it led to some problems in completing the project. I was unable to produce drawings with the intended neatness and precision.
I was also told that my work might look too soulless as it look like something that is produced just to submit to tutor, not to improve myself, and the truth is, they are right. I was thinking about dropping the class during project 3 as I started to hesitate about the decision of studying the bachelor in architecture and were thinking about quitting, but I finally decided not to give up so quickly.
In conclusion, the learning process in this semester was truly inspiring.
