THE TWO MAQUETTES

Creating two maquettes, p1a and p1b based on the basic elements of points, lines and planes. Both maquettes are in 9 square grid and will have their own set of parameters to follow at the beginning.

Coming to some stages, I will have my own decision to create the projection points. However, at the end of the workshop, the two maquettes will provide me a comprehension of the relationship between points, lines and planes.

Similarity : Create 9 square grid, points in first row, duplicate points into another two rows, creating height on points with sticks, tied up string on stick to show the connection of the projection points, and identify the planes in row 3, all are similar.

P1b

P1a Through this workshop 1, I found there are similarity and differences between this two maquette.

Differences : In step 3 , P1 b need to create additional points. In step to connect the projection points, P1 b has connected with the same height.

Casting Process 1. Adding water into a basket with plater of paris, then mix well.

2. Pouring it into the mould.

3. Let it dry under the sun.

4. Remove mould after 2 – 3 hours after pouring. After removed the mould, my first cast was said to be failed due to uneven surface.

5. Making my second casting, repeat again step 1 – 4.

6. Let it dry again 24 hours.

P2 PROCESS BOOK INTRO Workshop 4 indicates the study of anthropometry, observe how the human interact with the space.

This workshop students are required to observe two users over 24 hours and captured 15 different postures.

PROJECT 2

Workshop 2 introduces the study of scale, transferring the same dimensions in different of scale. In this workshop, students are creating different scales of furniture, humans, and tree.

Workshop 3 learning about space, how a space should be operated to accommodate with user’s activities, and how the to create openings to let light and shadow enhance the space and also the users.

Workshop 06 How should a space respond?: Modifying a new section on casted model with operative design to accommodate the user’s activities

WORKSHOP 1

THE TWO USERS ANTHROPOMETRY WORKSHOP

In the first stage, we are required to observe and record all day activities of the two users. Second stage, we will need to create a storyboard to show how their movement and activities interact with the space over different time. Final outcome of this workshop, there will be a storyboard with 15 different postures of the two users.

WORKSHOP 05 THE EXPERIMENT OF SCALE MAKING FURNITURE WITH THE SCALE OF 1 : 5/10/25/50/100

MAKING HUMAN WITH THE SCALE OF 1 : 10/25/50/100

Create a storyboard by putting different scale of chair, human and tree to casting model.

MAKING TREE WITH THE SCALE OF 1 : 10/25/50/100

Imagine this is a B&B. A human with a scale of 1:100, is a new passenger, he was walking into the entrance gate. Living area located beside the tree with scale of 1:10. There is a balcony on each floor, but only on the larger surface can there be a garden chair. In addition, a human with a ratio of 1:25 represents a passenger. He was sitting on a chair and enjoying the scenery, and there was a tree beside him. The top floor is an open-air bar, and some plants are planted there. A human with a scale of 1:25 is a security guard who was on duty.

Imagine this a furniture mall, the chair with 1:25 exhibited on top of the mall as a sign. First of, next to the tree with a scale of 1:10 is the entrance gate. There was a security guard with a scale of 1:25 sitting on a chair under the door to enjoy the cool. Finally, a human with a scale of 1:100 represents the customer who is walking into the entrance of the mall.

Imagine this is a college, and the gate of the campus is next to a tree with a ratio of 1:25. In the shade of the gate, there was a on duty teacher sitting on a chair with a chair scale of 1: 25. In the centre of the campus, a human with 1:10 represents the statue of the founder of the college. The teaching building is next to a tree with a scale of 1:10, and a student is just about to enter the entrance of the teaching building, and another student, with a ratio of 1:25, is also moving in the direction of the teaching building.

SECTION DRAWING WITH MULTIPLE SCALE

WORKSHOP 06 SPACE ǀ PLACE – HOW SHOULD SPACE RESPOND

In this workshop, we are learning on how the space can be operate with the human daily activities. First of, draw human figure with decided scale in section on a tracing paper then cut out and place 15 postures onto existing section. In second stage is to create opening with operative design to show how the light come in and enhance the space at the same time enhance the human experience of each 15 different time & activities. Next stage is to illustrate 4 occasion in order to learn how different angle of shadow can alter with the human. The last stage is about creating a framework in order to provide methods for configuring the model.

The user B was a bit cooler in the morning because of the rain last night, so she went to the room to get a jacket. Then she walked to the balcony to enjoy the warm morning sun.

User B sorts out the parcels that she has placed in the storeroom for a long time. She sat on the stairs, unboxed one by one.

User A was preparing her high tea where she invited her friend later 3 pm. Then she cleaned the kitchen after use.

In Project 3 is about creating a single space tree pavilion by applying knowledge of design elements, design principles, anthropometry, scale & proportion via spatial manipulation.

PROJECT 3 A Single Space Tree Pavilion

In first stage, we are required to do tree infographic, know the tree anatomy and form, thinking about what is greatest space potential could be. Next stage is to imagine user in 3 occasion and apply operative design to accommodate the postures.

FIG TREE INFOGRAPHIC Bark Texture The trunk can be massive, with thick, prominent buttressing, and reach a diameter of 2.4 m (7.9 ft).[6] The rough bark is greybrown.

The Fruit The fruit is small, round, and greenish, ripening and turning purple at any time of year.

The fruit is edible, but not very palatable.

Form And Anatomy Height: 15m to 50m Width: 2m to 3m Shape : The trees gradually reach large proportions, with huge buttresses, trunks up to 8 m or more in circumference, and branches both high and spreading.

The leaves Structure : The large leathery, dark green leaves are 15–30 cm long. The leaves and branches bleed a milky sap if cut or broken.

The Fruit : Small (2–2.5 cm in diameter), avoid or pyriform-globular and greenish, ripening and turning purple with lighter spots at any time of year.

The structure of Leaves The large leaves are ovalshaped to elliptical 100-250 mm long and consists of dark glossy green above and rusty beneath.

Root System Fig trees are known for having very aggressive root systems, to the point of being invasive. The common fig tree has very densely packed widespread and deep root systems.

The growth Pattern of Fig Tree The common fig tree has many branches that emerge rather low on the trunk the tree. They grow in an upward ascending sequence, creating a very robust and dense shade canopy. Fig trees creates a wonderful shade tree for other plant life that needs protection from the dry and hot conditions.

Narrative The pavilion I designed is not only a habitat for the user, its also a small business venue for the user to maintain its income, as fig trees may bear some fruit throughout the year, with increased production in early summer and midwinter, instead of having those fruits by himself, it can be preserved in many ways to sell, but produced into jam is the easiest method.

Therefore, in order to let the user more convenient to climb up the tree to harvest fruits, the tree pavilion is made up with a quarter landing stair. The stair also become user’s access to bedroom entrance.

It is located under the tree because the tree has a wide spreading branches and leaves, which to provide user cool environment.

Conclusion Through Project 1, I have learnt how to use the operative design to assist in developing a space with operated volume.

Through Project 2, I’ve learnt the about the anthropometry study and ergonometric study. For example, In workshop 4, that is my first time to observe how my family daily interact with the space, and I realize some of furniture doesn’t suit all the family members. From workshop 6 giving me a chance on thinking how to operate the space in order to accommodate my user and also my first time to observe the light and shadow, finding the openings is the best for enhancing the space and user’ activities.

From Project 3 , I’ve learnt the concept of time in space, I have thought about the user’s 24 hours activities, based on what time he going to do what stuff. Also, with the study of time, I am considering on which place will need the wall systems and window opening for the sunlight penetration. Besides, I am implying the skills and principle I learnt in P1 and P2 on my tree pavilion design. Anthropometric is applied in my plan, section, and elevation drawing to show the details on user accommodate with the activities.
