Design Studio 4

Children's Learning Capsule

This project introduced us the way of designing with modules. In our case, we were given three Shipping Containers as our "modular" to be transformed into a children learning capsule that mainly focus on learning through play. In which each of the spaces introduced are supposed to bring about the atmosphere of fun and spark their curiosity and ideas.

In order to create a relevant atmosphere for our presentation boards, we agreed to give our best to try out something that we have never tried before. Probably the first and the last time we try it out, and probably no more chance for us to do it ever again in the future, so we grabbed the chance to do it !! Even though i was not involved in the production of the board, really thank Aden and Kelvin for making this happen.
​
PS : only do this if the anime characters that you chose are related to your design (directly) if not it would be dangerous.
Project 2 Site Analysis

Once again in this project, i did not touch the boards again @_@ this time seriously not one bit. 

Busy forging the 6 A1 sized models.

Ipoh, the place we are taking our magnifying glass to look into detail this time. Site analysis were conducted and then we gathered information to be stuffed into our boards.

This is actually the first ever time i start off a design from the FORM. At first i was really worried, because i did not involve much in the site analysis board production, i was quite blur of to which site response info is best for us to start our approach. It was really quite a struggle until i eventually only consulted on the form of the building. So basically we tried our level best from our shallow knowledge, to dig up anything from the stash of Site Response to justify our design after we made our building looked beautiful. That was really a bumpy ride forming this form of the building. Designing without any backup and justifications just to make it looked nice. And then try to make up stories by ourselves of to how we came up with this scheme. Not a very good way to start a design, but at least we tried.

The shadow castings on the boards were a mistake for its beauty. It looked more like an axonometry than a plan, and the shadow castings from louvers made them looked like stairs. But at least a lesson was learnt, Plans are to be technical and accurate, whereas the renderings can fly whichever way the concept says so. No regrets on my board because it is indeed the best looking board that i have created until now =)
