DESIGN STUDIO 1 SEM 1 YEAR 1

P1 PROCESS BOOK - Intro Design Studio 1 Form Play through multiple explorative workshop that help us to enhance my handmade skill, creative skill, and thinking skill.

The journey starts from WORKSHOP 1, a point, then line and plane. It start from 1D to 3D volume.

WORKSHOP 2 let me understanding about the type of method to enhance my design, Operative Design, also knowing the forms and principles of the model.

WORKSHOP 3 me look into the volume and space, also understanding the void and solid.

Content 1) Whole progression (P1A until P1G) 2) Design Intention 3) Form of the model 4) Ordering Principles of the model 5) Conclusion

P1A

Workshop 1

P1B

more complex

Two maquette let me know about what are the point, line and plan, also understand how they starting from a point and form into a plane and create a space

P1C Continue to P1C, I start to design and draw 9 blocks, then create them into real blocks. This can help me enhance my creative and handmade skill.

P1C

Arrange them into 3x3 grid area

WORKSH OP 2

WORKSHOP 2, I start to learn the type of method of design (Operative Design) to improve my original design.

Continue with choose out the potential model and arrange them with the 9 blocks I had in P1C into 6x4 grid

Plan 2 : 3-6cm

Plan 4 : 10-14cm

Plan 1 : 0-2cm

WORKSHOP 3 I learn what is positive and negative mass, void and solid, making mould and casting the model.

P1F

Simplify the arrangement and draw the sections

Outcome

Conclus ion

Throughout this Project 1, I learnt about the operative design, drawing plan and sections, also how to casting a mold.

P2 Process Book – Intro Project 2 contain 3 main workshops which are let us understanding anthropometry, scale, the relationship between human activities and spaces, time and shadow.

WORKSHOP 1 is understanding anthropometry, students are requires to capture 15 postures of 2 users and draw them out in A3 cartridge paper.

WORKSHOP 2 is understanding the scale. Students explore different scales of human, tree and chair ( 1: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100).

WORKSHOP 3 is to ideate simple design ideas towards spatial manipulation in response to human activities and time.

Content Workshop 1 – Anthropometry Workshop 2 – Scale Workshop 3 –My simple design Conclusion

WORKSHOP 1 – Anthropometry Capture 15 postures from 2 users.

Both users – first day

1300 - 2200 time

User A – second day

0900 - 2000 time

User B – second day

0800 - 1900 time

WORKSHOP 2 – Scale Explore human, chair and tree’s scales in 1: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100

Conclusion Throughout this Project 2, I learnt about the human posture, time and shadow .

P3 – Tree Pavilion (Intro) P3 is the final project for Design Studio 1. Basically, students need to design a tree pavilion and accommodate 3 main occasions which can related to the tree. Besides that, these occasions should be carried out without any loose furniture, which students will need to further operate the buildingform in order to be achieve functional yet good spatial quality for each of these activities. *** The target tree of mine project is olive tree while client will be myself.

Infographic of tree and user

Further exploration on tree • Can have a cup of boil water with leaves and drink it. It boost our immune system and prevent cancer.

Olive wood • Can be use as handle of hunting knife. It is strong and long life span

Olive fruits • Can raw eaten and its good for heart also protect against to osteoporosis and cancer

Lavender • Plant it around olive tree can have an aesthetic scenery and fragrant aroma also repelling olive fruit flies.

Olive leaves

Design Idea The shape of tree pavilion refer to pavilion which is closing to water

First Week Design

First design

1:50 scale olive tree model

Second design

First Design Design an octagon shape pavilion which is half enclosed, around the tree trunk and hanging on the tree. The overall height is 2.1m.

Having a flat roof and can be act as water collection system.

Full opening.

Second Design Second design also using octogen shape but it is totally exposed. It is located around the tree trunk and 700mm height from the ground.

The vertical slope plane support by eight columns also acting as water collection system.

Eight external columns supporting whole pavilion up to 700mm height.

Second Week Design Form

Frame

Adding opening for each sides.

Adding 300mm storage area. It allow to user keep some small size appliance.

Conclusi on Throughout this project, I learn about how the human activities can effect the design development and operative design. Besides that, I also knew about what should be concern when we design a building such as light, climate, circulation and place located.
