My Sensory Space

Using design elements and principles that we have learnt for the previous 2 assignments, we have to apply the knowledge and create a space for  ourselves that reflects our emotions as a first year student. 

Here's the showcase of my work :)

What am I supposed to do ?

Our requirements for the project :

- 1 Final Model 1 :10

- 1  Floor Plan

- 1 Section

- 1 Axonometry

- 2 Elevations

- 4 Tattoo Stamps

- 2 Architectural Abstract Drawings

- 2 Tectonic  Drawings

- Dateline :  Wednesday 29/6 

Progress

Brainstorming 

Before brainstorming for design ideas for my structure, I first identify and list out all my personalities and emotions, also what kind of space and ambience wish to create. Listing out all these information, will help to smoothen the process of designing and  how it can relate to my structure.

Sketches

Later on, I start sketching my ideas out relating to emotions. I have decided to create an open space that reflects positivity, which I will be exploring more on as I sketch and research.

Here is a video that taught me the importance of emotions in architecture, how I can relate and translate my emotions in my structure.

Researches

I have done some of the researches to help me in the process of designing, how the nature, sunlight, surroundings can relate and affect my structure, what kind of shadows or reflection does it create. 

Later on, I have decided to  test out materials, such as balsa wood  (timber strips) , white modelling board (concrete) and Perspex glass (glass) combination, what I can do to reflect my narrative with the materials.

In this assignment, it is quite evident that we need to consider many possibilities  and situations, and practicality of the design despite remaining its aesthetic. As we design,  we should always be aware of how our  design, materials, arrangement affects the structure. For  instance, stability of the structure, ergonomics, anthropometry etc.

During the process of sketching and designing initial ideas, I will need to communicate and discuss with my tutor to  improve and receive advices. Other than that, I will also ask for my peers' comments, suggestions as well, to see where I can improve more on from different perspectives.

There was a lot of self directed learning involved in the process of this assignment. I have acquired many knowledge through the researches, tutorials that I have learnt by myself through the internet. Other than that, I have also learnt the techniques of model making, drawings etc through seniors or friends.
