'' Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. but design is knowning which one to keep. '' - Scott Adams

smile + 1 Designing is not just putting colours or shapes to achieve what we like, it takes process, researches and studies to achieve significant value for something, and it must be practical.

I enjoy the process although it’s challenging, but I will put myself in many forms of knowledge, not the knowledge of form only.

I, myself got inspired along the projects and by lecturers.

These works helped me to know just the surface of what an architect does, there are more things to learn in the future, but I really enjoy doing it. They are not the best, but I will keep on improving myself. Because I believe this Earth is 360, and our world’s architecture shouldn’t just stick to 90.

A 20 years old girl who trying to live young!

An enthusiast of structure and spaces.

Loves designing and seeing my designs become real and practical. Also, enjoy achieving perfection in drawing lines.

PETALING STREET Site analysis and site context conducted in Petaling Street.

As a group we presented it as a business and commercial site, and also its S.W.O.T analysis as a junction.

Besides, it is important to conserve the historical value of every commercial building in the street as they were originally colonial buildings.

FIRST MODEL MAKING EXPERIENCE

Explored myself knowing the importance of making model, in visualizing the actual site for presentation purpose and to show the details.

KL SITE ANALYSIS

02

REPORT PROPOSAL Knowing it as a strong business, financial orientated historical site with the merge of mediaval European and mid-age modern architecture building style.

Report includes important study about Jalan Petaling.

The process from conducting site analysis to creating the best idea concept to improve the street to a better public space in a scheme.

A BETTER PUBLIC SPACE By selecting the issues, effects to the users, solutions are building a canopy and painting different colours on every building’s facade in the street.

Aiming without spoiling the history and identity of the street as a whole.

The proposal also help to conserve every building’s significant value without leaving out anyone of them.

DESIGN ASSIGNMENT 1 Learning and exploring about basic design elements and principles and to apply them in further projects. Aim to achieve strong understanding about design rules and function. It is essential to bring aesthetic purpose with appropriate design concept and ideas.

Doing researches, following by identifying and extracting design elements and principles in every single photo. It applies architecture photography skills to make the photos look presentable.

Then applied design elements and principles in designing logo and motif, also design it using certain shapes and grid to create a design rule that represent our group’s name, Pink Circle.

Bjarke Ingels

Yes is more Studied about Bjarke Ingels’ pragmatic utopian design philosophy started from his buildings design principles, to extracting his significant design rules : twisting, inclined plane, and stacking.

From sketches, to the stage of choosing materials and colour that represents him.

By focusing on the base, using invisible letter 8 as grid to create connectivity.

Artworks that derived from inclined force.

Idea is to showcase interaction between geometric shapes and inclined form.

Also, using sharp edges shapes with convex and concave angles and create repetition.

Conclusion : Looks random but actually has rules.

05

CUBE MANIPULATION Further exploration through terminologies of DK Ching. Learnt about lines, planes, form and voids. After that, by applying Bjarke Ingels' design styles, imagine how would Bjarke Ingels manipulate a cuboid.

The Progress Models

Mainly focus on combining twisting, inclined plane, and rotated angle using Bjarke Ingels' modular architecture pattern.

06

Mini Chalet

A basic architectural drawings project.

With interior and exterior special organization and arrangement, using appropriate scale, produce a set of drawings including plan, elevation, section and detail zoom in.

木のかおく A mni chalet with Japanese design concept for two.

Design Process Journal 1

Design Process Journal 3 sets of design process journals helped in idea developing.

Starting from studying the character The Riddler, then create a CD cover using his significcant characteristic : how Riddler relates riddles in his entire criminal life.

Design Process Journal 2 Further research on tower and started to extract elements to apply in the tower by making photo-montages. It helped in developing the fundamental ideas of the tower design.

Design Process Journal 3

A crucial idea developing process, relating Bjarke Ingels and The Riddler and selected appropriate design approach. Also, started to make progress models here.

THE

Design Final Project TOWER OF ENIGMATIC CLUES

OUTCOME

Applied Bjarke Ingels’ twisting and stacking to create a tower for The Riddler.

Idea concept is using 3 different dimensions of L shapes and compile them together into a square.

Then create modular under a rule, determined by angles within a grid.

Lines, and voids to create confusing form derived from optical illusion, to demonstrate The Riddler’s significant characteristic as a cluer in crime.

A tower for Riddler to generate strong riddles.

Using Bjarke Ingels’ design styles to meet the function of the tower.

Presentation boards designated to show the merge of Bjarke Ingels and Riddler.

Wrap-up This course was super intense and there were more than million chances blocking me to survive.

But surprisingly, every time turned out staying back because I am sure these are what I love to do.

I have learned more than what I expected. Thanks for those who had helped me to achieve my works.

Let's feel the tears and joy in 20 pages.
