TASK 1 - The beginning of.....

TASK 2 - Subdivide & Blowing up

TASK 3 - Model making

TASK 4 - Massing up

TASK 5 - Transform

TASK 1 - The beginning of.....

Points & Lines

- In a 6m length and 4m width rectangle

- Separate rectangle into 6 equal squares

Walk through each square and stop every 10 steps

- Stand / Jump / Squat when having a stop

route planning

- Points are marked on every stops

Lines are created on walking route

TASK 2 - Subdivide & Blowing up

Splines / 2D planes / Z-axis

- Simplify the curves

- Connection of points

- Lifting up each points

- Height was set according to:

process sketching

TASK 3 - Model making

Stick | String | Board | Wood Point Line Plane Volume

- Edges of volume created by connecting each sticks with strings

- Each pieces of board cut according to border of planes

- Wooden blocks done by referring back to the fully covered model

sticks & strings model model covered by corrugated board separated solid wooden blocks

TASK 4 - Massing up

Invisible City | Cities & Desire 3 | Despina

A city can be reached in 2 ways, ocean or desert

There is a contrast of view while arriving at different side

The view of skyscraper

TASK 1 - Looking back.......

Inspired by project 1

- Start from selecting wooden block as base form

- Convert the dimension of base form into scale 1:1

- Craft a model using cardboard as material

- To fit well on human body, dimension and angle need to be modifed according to own body scale

- Transfer the 6 points into site map

- Those 6 points in site map become 6 locations to operate the spatial apparatus device

TASK 2 - City exploration

Interact with surroundings

- Walkway beside car park Central Market

- Lifted device on top of head

- Channelling light from lamp post and focus on myself

1 : 2

- Below LRT station (Pasar Seni)

- Device angle and shape adjusted

- Wearing device to fit with similar shape of white line on the road

- Walkway link between Kompleks Dayabumi and LRT station

- Looking through a hole

- Framing a view of Kl tower with skyscrappers, a view that would miss when walking through in rushed

- Jalan Bandar 22 branch of Jalan Sultan

- Open two holes in both side of device

- Reflecting the higher view to eye level, the sign might be ignored in a narrow alley

- Lorong Karat

- Closing up all the opening

- Looking through device to frame a skyview reflected by water

- Crossroad of Petaling Street

- Fold the device into triangle shape

- Framing a view included entrance of Petaling Street and Merdeka 118, it’s a contrast between two different style of achitecture

TASK 3 - Take shape

Concept translation

- First step is to extract a form from cardboard Spatial Apparatus

- Study and convert it into skeletal framing

- Craft a 1:5 framing model to demonstrate 1:1 model making process and possibility

- Futher study into relation between model and human body scale

- Improve the dimension of the model to fit well

- Define all the details and joineries

TASK 4 -

Craftsmanship

Well planned | detailling | quality

- Publish a final plan after improving the form

- Draw all the parts separately with own dimension

- Also improving details of joineries

- Craft a 1:1 framing model according to plan

TASK 5 - Try out

Ability is useless unless it’s used

The final 1:1 skeletal framing model done perfectly following plan. Ability of social distancing added in the concept during stage of planning. Also some of abilities of cardboard model had lost in this device.

45 degree angle design is to hold well the device, a 1 meter length behind is to achieve social distancing

A dimension set according to the length from waist to shoulder so the device still able to fit while sitting

It’s a adjustable device, so able to fit well without holding it

Can be easily carried after folding it

- A room to Observe

[ uhb-zurv ]

1. to see, watch, perceive, or notice

2. to regard with attention, especially so as to see or learn something

3. to watch, view, or note for a scientific, official, or other special purpose

Scale 1:25 model with human activities
