01 The psychedelic chamber A CREATIVE SPACE FOR A CREATIVE PERSON
Architectural Design Studio I | University of Indonesia | 2013
The studio requires the student to design a creative space for an artist, which will be occupied during his or her creative working process. A creative space should be able to inspire the work of the artist. A creative space should act like a motion picture or movie, which give different spatial experience or feeling in each of its area, Every little aspect of the building should support this experience; the placement of the window, the location of the area, and the theme and purpose of the building. It has to intrigue a certain kind of experience that we want to give to the artist. Dmaz Brodjonegoro, a painter, an illustrator, and an art director from Jakarta, is chosen as the creative person in this creative space design. As most of his works are mainly inspired by the surreality of Michel Gondry, James Jean, Jonsi, and Radiohead, thus, a creative space with no borders and partitions is created to comply with Dmaz’s limitless imagination and inspiration, His creative process that does not require any specific time, which changes based on his mood, also affects the process of space-making in this design; a borderless chamber that allows Dmaz to work freely. The Psychedelic Chamber is basically inspired by Dmaz’s works, which are also commonly consisted of chromatic or vivid colors, overlap pictures, and asymmetrical shapes which resemble a dream-like or psychedelic term.

Space Division and Zoning: The layout and zoning of the floor plan is based on the activities and needs of the artist, which are consisted of four main parts: daily activities, working, entertainment, and inspiration. The layout is a continuous space that connects each rooms together, therefore, creating a flexible and bigger space.

02 te s s e llati o n THE TECTONIC DESIGN OF A READING ROOM
Architectural Design Studio 202 | Curtin University | 2014
This studio examines the relationship between architecture and tectonics. By juxtaposing the act of reading and the physicality of books with suburban models of settlement, the studio asks: Can architecture provide connections between the vibrancy (real and imagined) of books and places to read them? The theme of the studio is captured in the title in which architecture is framed on one side by tectonic, evoking the possiblities of urban architecture. The studio objectives therefore, require the student to design and construct a portable open-air reading room, to share books, showcase the act of learning, and improve public space. It is a portable infrastructure, well-adapted to the urban environment, lightweight and cleverly designed, that can offer books and learning experiences. The result will be an attractive, durable physical structure that will generate discourse and debate surrounding new forms of urban and suburban architecture in its given site, which is Curtin University campus. Tessellation, therefore, is created as a result of tectonic design concept with an emphasis on material, detail and assembly, which create a synergy between urban and suburban configuration. The tiling and repeating patterns of the design, which tessellates one another, creates a vibrant connection between the materiality, the space, the function, and the user.
14
Initial Idea: A tectonic reading room that is based on different reading positions. Users can sit on the chair with a table, lay down on the bench, and sit on the bench. It is also accessible from all sides and overlooking different campus view. The facade is very versatile that it can be also used as bookcase. Site: The site is located in the campus site of Curtin University, Bentley, Western Australia. Since it is going to be functioned as a portable infrastructure, the location can range from student park or merely an abandoned space, or anywhere that is accessible for students. With this infrastructure, hopefully it will create a synergy between the urban and suburban configuration.

Reading Positions: From the research conducted by Natalie Meyer in 2014 for Book Riot website, there are several reading positions that are considered best and comfortable for the reader. These best reading position was defined as the one that readers stay in longest while reading. Position

BOOKCASE DETAILS
Materiality & Structure: The main materials on this reading room are plywood and timber. This is chosen as the initial concept of the design is to construct a portable open-air structure. The structure of the design works as facade, seat, roof, and bookshelf, creating a tectonic, multi-function and versatile design. Facade Concept: The general facade is inspired by the tesselations artwork, which basically means, the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes with no overlaps. In this design, rectangles are assembled in a way, that it forms a diamond-shaped tesselation. This tessellation will also create a strong and firm structure, and an interesting facade.

03 the winton guest house AN ARCHITECTURAL WORK BY FRANK GEHRY
Architectural Techniques 202 | Curtin University | 2014
The Winton Guest House is designed by Frank Gehry in the 1980’s and originally located in Wayzata, Minnesota. The house is said to have been inspired by a Giorgio Morandi’s paintings and is conceived as a large outdoor sculpture comprising of rooms which constitute their own mini-buildings. The main idea of the building is a concrete division of spaces through sculptural forms connected to each other. Based largely on sketches, scaled physical three-dimensional models and drawings were created manually. In this unit, students are required to develop knowledge and skill in contemporary methods of architectural communication by mediating between two and three-dimensional means of representation through geometric manipulation and projection. Using a case study of Frank Gehry’s WInton Guest House, students explored Rhinoceros software modelling environment. A type of workflow which mediate between three- ‐dimensional modelling using Rhinoceros three-dimensional software and two-‐dimensional drafting using Adobe Illustrator are utilized to produce high quality drawings and renders.
22
About The Project: The aim of the class unit and project is to exercise the Rhinoceros software skills of the student, with Winton Guest House by Frank Gehry as the precedent. The Building: Composed of six geometric shapes, this Giorgio Morandi-inspired structure stands like a piece of art. Commissioned in 1984 and completed in 1987, this single-story structure is comprised of two bedrooms with full bathrooms, a central living room, fireplace alcove, loft, kitchenette and garage. Location and Transportation: Initially situated on the Winton’s 12-acre Lake Minnetonka property the guest house was moved in 2008 to Owatonna where it still stands.

04 lake le s c h e nau ltia art hub A CONTEMPLATION OF NATURE
Architectural Discourse & Spatial Intelligence Studio | Curtin University | 2015
The project is a recycled and environmental arts hub, located in Lake Leschenaultia, Western Australia, which act as a ‘vehicle’ to explore public architecture, advocating sustainability and encouraging creative community life. The design operates as an arts learning centre where the young and old from schools and the community can come to learn about arts that use recycled materials and that relate to the environment. It is a place that receives contributions of recyclable materials from industries and the community. The hub enhances the cultural environment of a rural town with new innovative and participatory dimensions for the individuals and the public; holding many types of events including workshops, seminars, exhibitions, and even parties. It creates an architectural statement that advocate sustainability and encourage creative community life. Inspired by the works of Frei Otto, the Lake Leschenaultia Art Hub takes inspiration from an obsessive study of natural forms as its main concept, It creates a harmonious relationship between people and nature by integrating two approaches: biophilic and biomimicry approaches. The piece of architecture can be seen as an art installation integrated with the place and rural townscape.

35
Biophilic: Biophilic design in architecture provides a human connection with nature and sense of place. Site specific design is approached in the process of design. The building is placed in a way that it can overlook the site’s main element; Lake Leschenaultia. Semi-outdoor space is also designed to create a harmonious relationship between the building and the existing trees.

Biomimicry: Biomimetic form in this design is mainly inspired by two elements; leaf and tree branches. The roof is influenced by leaf, both its form and function, which is to shade the building. Meanwhile, tree branches form and function is used as the structure that holds the roof.

Linear Typology: To experience a continuous journey throughout the site. The form of linear space is able to transcends any particular program. The essence is line, the experience is path. the movement is perpendicular to the axis of the space, and thus the experience of the building is that of a broad gateway.

Materiality and Structure: The roof shape is probably the most challenging part in this construction. Since it has a wavy shape, there are two options to achieve that certain shape; by using pvc membrane or bent aluminum roof. The second option was chosen due to the effectiveness and durability. The aluminum sheet will be bent in a way to create the wavy shape. Meanwhile, there will be another layer of roofing, functioned as a structure, beneath the aluminum sheeting, This secondary structure will be constructed out of timber purlins and rafter. To integrate with the nature and to achieve sustainability, timber will be used as the cladding. Glass panels will also be used on most of the facade, to overview the surrounding of the builiding and the lake. However, due to climate of the site and to reduce the solar heat gain, a treated glass or window films will be implemented. For the main structure, glulam laminated timber will be used as the structure of the aluminum sheeting while timber that is connected to metal footing will be used as structural support system.

Architectural Design & Technical Integration Studio | Curtin University | 2015
The studio and the group study has undergone extensive research on site analysis alongside design process to address problems and opportunities in mixed-use building and mixed-housing. One of the main focus and concept is to promote a sustainable and healthy living environment through the building performance and program. The presence of mixed-use building encourages a healthy living since it creates a walkable and sustainable neighborhood that allows multiple activities to be undertaken and different daily needs to be met in one location (Healthy Active by Design 2015). This is in accordance with the future plan of North Subiaco, Western Australia which is to infill developments of existing sites with low to mixed-use building that provides mixed-use activities. These activities range from daily needs to other complementary activities that supports healthy living, such as yoga studio, gym, and community green space. The healthy environment that this building embrace throught its integration with sun light, thermal comfort, and green space will eventually lead to a healthy way of living.

Rainwater Harvesting System: As a technological aspect and as this building is created in the notion of heathiness, wellness, and sustainable, a rainwater harvesting system is implemented in the design. Strategy of this building is to recycle rainwater and greywater until it nearly potable. This system will help harvesting rainwater through a permbeable surface on the roof, then it goes to the underground rainwater tank through pipes. Then, it will be distributed to other building parts.
60
Green Wall Panels: Aside from laundry, flushing toilet, and other purposes, this treated greywater and rainwater will also irrigates the green wall panel through the water pipes in the growing medium panels. Soil-box Planter: As the soil-box planter is used to filtrate the rainwater run-off from downpipes. Although many plants can be used to filtrate water, these three plants are used in the design due to its ability to remove pollutants.
61
Above: The green community space in this building is a courtyard garden that opens up to gym, yoga studio, and residential units. This space is a multi-purpose area which allows resident to interact with each other and do activities together. The area of improvement in this design is creating a healthy living and interaction character through the green atmosphere. 62
