RUMAH BATIK Batik

Project Description

The direction that we were headed in was persona-based for a batik painter. With the introduction of the batik painter, many challenges arose as the batik painter needed controlled climatic conditions for each of the processes in batik painting which included sketching, melting, waxing, dyeing, washing and drying requiring different amounts of windflow and sunlight.Ultimately, the facade was applied to the site Golden Mile Tower’s carpark, where an integration of our facade and the Batik-making process applied onto our workshop and pavillion. Besides ensuring the space is made comfortable and sustainable through passive design, we ensured that poetics and culture were not absent from our design, and created a suitable backdrop for the art to flourish and its skill to be taught to future generations.

Windflow Study

Quadratic - Opening Iteration

Cylinderic Rotating Light Tunnels

Testing with Rectilinear Shifting Light Tunnels

Modules

Shade + Ventilation

Harnessing light into Interior + Ventilation

Maximum Shade + Less Ventilation

Square to Diamond Module

Allows for easier collection of water to be reused. Not only is it sustainable, the visual and auditory senses are stimulated by the calming flow of water which aids the artist in his craftmaking.

Pavillion

The pavillion is designed for the our persona to have a private office where she can also do gardening from the modules in the facade. She can use the harvest to make tea and dye for her batik art.
