CRE

creative visual art and sound in a biophilic virtual space

year 4 project (VR)

The project in Architectural Research & Design Studio 4 explores the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in enhancing the well-being of elderly individuals. CRE • A[RCH] • TIVE OASIS is a creative virtual space that uses visual art and sound in a biophilic virtual space for supporting elderly’s well-being.

Frailty in elderly can be handled optimally through activities that involve physical training and mindfulness simultaneously, such as creative art activities. This can be enhanced with a healthy design. CRE • A[RCH] • TIVE OASIS aims to combine biophilic architecture and virtual space to address the elderly’s well-being needs. With 3 journey experience choices, user can deeply immerse themselves to each activities in the activity areas including active and passive art activities.

The study used 3 method steps to create design strategies: literature study of creative art, biophilic design, and VR; survey on elderly; and technical experiments. Afterwards, design iterations were explored. The design was tested by elderly for feedback. The study result shows that creative virtual space can be enhanced with biophilic elements and the spatial aspect layout for each activity.

Therefore, CRE • A[RCH] • TIVE OASIS can be a relaxing and fun virtual creative space for the user to come back to repeatedly while supporting their well-being.

VIRTUAL CREATIVE SPACE DESIGN WITH BIOPHILIC ARCHITECTURE APPROACH FOR ELDERLY’S WELL-BEING BASED ON PHYSICAL-MINDFULNESS ACTIVITIES

Frailty is a health condition in which there is an increase in physiological vulnerability and a drastic & unstable decrease in functional capacity with age to the point of disability.

Data taken from the elderly in geriatric centers shows the urgency to prevent frailty from robust state.

Art activities in this virtual creative space consist of 5 active activities, 3 passive activities. Placement of passive and active activities are distributed to achieve a balanced design.

The space consists of 4 main areas. The layout of the space program is designed to have a dynamic shape.

The virtual user journey is divided into 3 experiences.

Each experience ends with meditation in the zen dome to enhance mindfulness training as well as a transition back to the real world.

This experience division is to maximize each activity carried out at the optimal time to avoid motion sickness.

Starting the experience in a virtual creative space by looking at the area and activity map. Then choose the virtual journey to be taken.

There is a tutorial screen that explains how to interact and move in the virtual world using the VR controller.

The basic shape of the gallery area is dynamic and has a circulating radial system layout strategy to direct the circulation of the user experience.

The activities carried out are moving around looking at the paintings (passive) and painting in the middle area of the gallery (active).

The basic shape of the art space area also has a dynamic shape with the variety of high and low ceilings. The shape of the opening is perceived as a transition between outside and inside.

The activities carried out in the art room are watching performances on the big screen (passive), making handicrafts (active), and assembling cakes (active).

It has a dynamic basic shape with several openings that visually connect the outer and inner areas. This shape creates a sense of privacy, aided by a lowered ground in area. Elements of water in the center and waterfalls add a serenity feeling to enhance the meditation experience.

The activity in the zen dome is listening to various sounds of music/water which are located on platforms with different heights. So various experiences are created to do mindfulness meditation.

DIALO(G)ENERATOR

playing the cultural dialog of Lisbon

1st place national stage project of International Architecture Student Contest 2023 held by Saint Gobain, advance to international stage Lisbon, Portugal

Deep inside the word ‘Dialog’ means seeing things and resonate together at once. In a dialog, we can know each other ideas and merge in some ways. As a result, ideas evolve, and new perspectives can be taken on board. Dialog is important to generate creative environment.

What if we can watch Lisbon from a building that represent the development over time?

In this neighborhood, we want to stimulate the emergence of new ideas through dialogic instruments in architectural design. A design that possible to encapsulate heterogeneous ideas and creative community, enhancing the conversation of cultural & modernism through materiality.

Lisbon is known as the city of seven hills, their monument, azulejos tiles, Pasteis de Nata, public mural drive urban dialog of the city, the society and the past. Their tradition still lives and vibrates through the mural art and Fadohouse in Lisbon.

The area will have 3 living corridors that will generate public dialogs. By overlaying the characteristics of Lisbon, we hope this place can influence identity dialog within the community and visitors. Creating a lively neighborhood where people watch and enjoy dialog of the city, the society, and the past.

Take a glance around our ‘DIALOG GENERATOR’ neighborhood for new Lisbon.

The housing complex are located in the middle of the area as an connector between the public and private space of the heritage and creative space.

The housing complex are visibly developed into three towers, to accomodate different needs in the community as one of them is designed as co-living, to grow dialogs and social relations for the artists. Also to allow air circulation in the area.

The orientation of the three towers are heading towards the heritage building as an act of watching over it. Also the rotation of the building mass reacts to lower the sun exposure.

The three towers have different heights to accomodate the density difference of each tower.

CONNECTING PEOPLE

dwelling that connects living, work, society, and nature to find our happiness

year 3 project

Bandung

In Architectural Research & Design Studio 3, we talked about investigating dwelling concept in purpose of crafting happiness. Using the notion of “use, form, behaviour” to present dwelling qualities with a vision to reach “home is where you happiness is”.

Home used to be a place for us to be away from the stressful city life outside, but when we spend 90% of our time inside our homes due to pandemic, there appears to be a blurred line of work and private lives. And it can make us confused of what the identity of our home is. If the home itself loses it’s identity, so does the people inside it. Alienated from ourselves, work, society, and nature.

What if home becomes a place to reconnect to find happiness?

There are different spatial needs of each user’s occupation and activities. It can concentrate the targeted user for the dwellings and the kind of dwelling needed. Also integrating the comfort factors of a home.

By connecting the user activities, the factor of happiness in life, and the comfortability of a home can create a special happiness for each household. Therefore finding their happiness in their homes.

What if home becomes a place to RECONNECT to find happiness?

housing for millennials

Generation Z and Millennials are dominating Indonesia’s population chart. And most of the millennials and late Gen Z are now working. Many of them haven’t even got married or have kids. So the housing could be for working people and no kids.

THE

OVERLAY

trace (the past) + enhance (the present) = entrance (to the future)

1st place national stage project of International Architecture Student Contest 2022 held by Saint Gobain, advance to international stage Warsaw, Poland

What if an answer towards socialist Warsaw can be culminated into three layers of sustainability?

Where we knit sustainability through times: the past and the present, for a better future. Not just through the natural/environmental and the socio-cultural sustainability, but also through the historical sustainability.

Hence, rather than proposing an antithesis towards the socialist Warsaw, we proposes a synthesis from the trace of socialist Warsaw (1945 - 1991: the past) and the enhancement of liberal Warsaw (1991 - 2022: the present), which is an entrance to the future (2022 - ~).

Recalling the past, in the period of Socialist Warsaw, the social culture premise was that everyone should spend more time outside in communal environments. This is how we can find many huge communal space in between residential buildings. Therefore, we can conclude that the concept of communal space is one of the most significant public space typology in many former Socialist cities, including Warsaw.

However, by this typology, the affordable residential buildings faces some challenges, such as spatial qualities, lack of insulations, scale and size, and the need to enhance public landscapes. Therefore, we divide the main courtyard in out site by its three main landscape elements. Also knitting the boundary of the past and the present by bringing back the path existed back in 1939, and to accomplish human-scale-friendly public spaces while making sure each part of the landscape is well-defined.

SUSTAINABILITY, not just by ENERGY, but also in HISTORY and CULTURE

• Increase visitor

• Increase spending / revenue

• Efficiency and productivity

• Transformation of venue : rejuvenationsomeexisting, reassignment,orredevelop

• Clean, comfortable, and safe open space

• Accessibility and connectivity

• Investigate key players

“Krushchyovka” courtyard typology

Challenges found in the affordable socialist building :

1. Non-human friendly scale

2. Lost sense of locations

3. Lack of sound insulation

4. Low ceiling

5. No elevator

6. Little heat insulation

“The Overlay” sustainable design solutions :

1. Human-friendly scale

2. Sense of place, belongings, and locations

3. Good heat and sound insulations

4. Lift and safety

5. High ceilings

THE CREATIVE CLASS rethinking learning space for post-pandemic school year 2 project

In this year Architectural Research & Design Studio 2, we are asked to propose a school design on how the world of education can be done in the future due to the consequences and problems that will occur because of COVID-19 pandemic in the world of architecture.

What if school is all about transition?

The application of learning in a transition space can improve the quality of 4C, 4 keys of 21st century education, namely creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication.

There are 4 strategies to make this idea of transition to the site I have chosen. Centralized organization, have many types of transition space arrangements, transition space as the main connection and as an open study area.

With those strategies, the transition space can be the main center space that connects indoor and outdoor, and also can increases the 4C of education with the transition space being an open study area. The creative class, can be a solution for student-centered schools during the pandemic and beyond.

TRAN·SI·TION (noun)

(between A and B) the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another

Transitional spaces are neither classified as indoor nor outdoors, it exhibit both characters from indoor and outdoor spaces and have both spaces characteristics.

OUTDOOR

transition space learning quality

expands the range of active learning opportunities and stimulate imagination, creativity, and improve student learning quality

improve the quality of the 4 keys ofeducation (4C)

what if school is all about transition?

// site size and the road ahead

// buildings around site

// vegetation around site

// site boundary site is located in the transition between solid-void and public-private

Learning situation in an open study area : Students are not confined in one classroom and the learning activities carried out can vary.

The auditorium is expected to invite students to be more daring to express themselves and communicate more.

Placing the transition space which is the main space in the school in the middle of the site to create a centralized and circular shape to strengthen the strategy.

This is so that the center of school activities can simultaneously become an integral part of all school activities.

The classrooms in the main building are oriented according to the orientation of the sun, but can still capture sunlight optimally without feeling the time directly.

The center mass is raised by one floor so that the auditorium space remains on the 1st floor and gets optimal sunlight.

Other supporting buildings follow a circular shape from the main building

This solid-void interaction in the school mass is the opposite of the existing solid-void state. The middle mass becomes a solid void mixed space that can emphasize the learning experience in a transitional space.

In the design of this school, there are lifted parts and also lowered parts, to create more dynamic activities.

transition as main connection

the vehicle circluation enters the site, rounds the main building, then outwards. entrance and exit placement in the middle also takes into account of the U-turn that is near the site.

ramp access as main entrance for pedestrians

main stairs connecting basement, main building, outside areas. ramp access connecting lab/arts room to the main building

the human circulation is centered on the main building.

car and motorcycle loading dock

transition space arrangements

taking the arrangement of transitional spaces from existing precedents and integrate them into the spaces in the building.

indoor transition outdoor

ETFE sheets Low-E glass

The use of ETFE sheet and low-e glass tectonics is used to support the transition feeling and also respond to the existing site.

Both of these materials are used in the main building. The combination of these two materials can create a feeling of transition and is supported by the low-e glass that opens at the bottom, so it can also get good air circulation.

transition as an open study area

The transition space, which is an open study area, has the largest learning area compared to other learning areas, so that learning activities are more varied.

Learning activities at this school are not only in a transitional room, but are also carried out indoors and outdoors, so there are no fixed classrooms for studying certain subjects.

With this learning experience in school transition can be felt and with this creative class can be created, student creativity can also be increased.

PECULIAR CROSSWALK

experiencing someone’s peculiar path

year 1, semester 2, project 1

the idea of this installation is that if only people can see and experience experience my unique personal path on the crosswalk, and not only experiencing the path, but also the atmosphere around it.

the experience started from the various types of personal spaces and the relation with the crossing activities such as waiting and crossing

the full crossing experience is packed into a box that has 2 different elements. it reveals 4 unique experiences, for 2 destinations and 2 sides of the road.

one side uses wood, to represent a warmer atmosphere as there aren’t any vehicles waiting on this side, but the woods are leading inwards, creating an uncomfortable feeling as we don’t know other people’s direction.

the other side uses concrete, it represent a colder atmosphere, but it creates a safer feeling as the existence of the signalized crosswalk makes pedestrians feel more at ease, but is formed by irregular shapes with unequal sizes illustrating the factors on the crosswalk with different characteristic?

it also has an elevation of ground elements, that illustrates the walking speed, walking uphill is slower than walking downhill, this creates the same effect as when we bumps into other people, we tend to slow down.

spatial literacy perceiving and communicating space

year 1, first semester final project

SELA speaks about perceiving space from hearing senses, translating my experience of sound when I’m at the back of UPH Building B. The sounds represented into an abstraction of experience. Vibration forms a horizontal line that fill each other’s gaps. The variation of line origin can form different shapes but they’re still only a line.

the most dominant element : sound

human voice, sound of footsteps, sound of carts being pulled down the street, sound of street sweepers, sound of air conditioning engine, sound of birds chirping

these voices still sound messy and empty. voices came from all directions so it felt like circles piled up. the voices have not yet united and have not felt the nature of each one.

the result of further analysis, the sound is not like a massive circle but a sound that complements and covers each other. the voices have their own characteristics, but what unites them is the gaps in the voices [SELA] that can be filled with other sounds so that they look more complete.

firm sound tends to be harsh

faint sound the most sound but not dominant

the sound that sounds the smallest and far away

the sound that is sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes close, sometimes far away

the sound of human laughter that sounds high and low

COFFEE GRINDER - personal object negative space of an 3-part object

year 1, semester 1, project 2

COFFEE GRINDER

Is a unique shaped machine made of stainless steel. Although it looked simple, the inner parts of it are interesting. It’s a round bilateral symmetry shape that focuses on the blades (grinder) as the most important element in this machine.

It has 2 axis, one in the center from the top of the tube to the bottom of the tube, and the other one is from the center of the cap which is also is the start of the handle till the end of the handle the shape of the grinder / blade itself is a transformation from a tube to a semi-cone with soft blades. The space inside provides room for both coffee beans and ground coffee

GROUPING FORM

[Edge to Edge] as the radial sequence meet at one edge

[Spatial Tension]

it’s close to one another but do not meet each other

RHYTHM

The stairs are elevated in a rhythmic way. Each are elevated either 1cm, 2cm, or 3cm

Each layer is located in a rhythmic sequence both radial and linear

The thickness of the layers also form rhythms as it consists of 1 layer, 2 layers, or 3 layers.

AXIS

The space inside follows a certain axis. Giving it a path that we can take

BASE PLANE

[Base] radially arranged forms are on a base plane

[Elevated Base Plane] all space in here are on a elevated base plane. Each are elevated based on it’s form

[Overhead Base Plane] the layers that forms linear organization are hanging form the ground and based on an overhaed base plane as it is the highest point

TRANSFORMATION

The original shape of each layer is stretched, shortened, or cut into a new shape. Giving an experience of getting inside a more enclosed form and the experience of floating from the ground.

SPATIAL ORGANIZATION

Radial

The linear organization extend in a radial manner.

Linear

There are linear sequence of repetitive spaces also can be seen in the stairs

THE PAPRIKA PROJECT

seeing things through the architectural perspective of lines and dots

year 1, semester 1, project 1

THE STORY OF A PAPRIKA

Paprika or also as bell peppers is a unique vegetable. With curvy body and bumps on it’s bottom. It’s classified into the same family as chili and other peppers but paprika has different structure and meat than the others. It’s big, it looks sturdy, spicy, and fierce but it’s actually fragile on the inside. When you eat it, it’s not spicy at all. Eventhough it looks solid from the outside, when you cut it you can see this huge space inside and you’ll know that the parts that you can eat is only the edges.

Architecturally, it is a mass-void relationship. The mass is occupied by the presence of the meat, the physical character of a paprika that defines the limits of space and shows the form of a paprika. Meanwhile the space inside the paprika is the void between the meat. It has a spesific purpose for paprika, that is to provide a room for the seeds to grow.
