DESIGN STUDIO 1 PORTFOLIO

UCSI Semester 1

My Journey My first years of architectural school. What a time it has been, from coming from a school that focused on more structure and technical skills to be dropped into a world that I thought would be more about construction, to be later on told differently. To find that there is more to architecture than designing a building that you would like or love but designing something that brought life to it.

They have been various times of tremendous happiness, as well as many realizations of what I have to change to be better and do better.

My Journey of this semester has given rise to many different ways for me to see architecture and what I am going to dedicate a part of my life to get the place I see and strive for. This is a journey that I will not be able to take alone but with the help and sup port of every person I meet. Learning and developing my abilities through every encounter I make will pave the way.

Through form-play I have been working on multiple ways to open my mind to the vast potential and several ways of producing forms with various materiality.

The journey starts from simple single points, then slowly working up to the projections of lines in 2D. To the final summit expanding it into volume 3D. Then in the next workshop I further push my understanding in design principle and to continue the form play with operative design actions.

In the development of this maquettes, I had to understand how I would express my ideas with basic elements of points, lines and planes. By seeing what single points could be translated into a line to then create planes.

In the development of this maquettes. It had to be how I would express my ideas with basic elements of points, lines and planes through exploring the effect of perpendicular angles ..

THE TWO MAQUETTES

“In architecture, a volume can be seen to be either a portion of space contained and defined by wall, floor, and ceiling or roof planes, or a quantity of space displaced by the mass of building.” Eureka, forming a mass that would take up space, a space that would have mass. Here I exploded my first take at model building.

Operative Design

Cast Model

Anthropometrics is the comparative study of the measurements and capabilities of the human body.

Here we look at the Human dimensions and their capabilities in a way of determining a building's dimensions and overall design. To best understand the difference was a gesture can be affected by a space.

- During this task I looked at how Static and Functional movement could affect an area. .

I am designing a new pavilion that would be able to seamlessly

highlight and call attention to the tree as well as the surrounding areas, to make them almost one. In this Pavillion, my users should be able to move through life living in a tree, where the tree becomes their life source. And to find the substance of what the tree is, find the mean of it.

By studying and researching the height, form, features, conditions of

growth and the benefits that it may have will give me a better understanding. Now looking to the user ensuring that the basic hierarchy of needs is not just met but bundled up with the tree.

Following the views of the tree being important, I will design a building that would be able to encompass it, while creating a lifestyle that will formulate new ideas of what potential it could have within its form and space .
