Architecture design studio 1

Architecture Design Studio 1 is a subject that mostly introduces about architecture design. The aim for this subject is to let student express and explode their creative thinking skill toward their own design. By this project, students have the chance to generate idea to create a design using their creative thinking skill based on the topic that prepared by lecturer. Students can also improve their concepts by having every single tutorial class with lecturer.

Project 1 - : Self-Expression through Object

This is a project that introduce elements and principles of visual art. In this project, we are require to make a mask based on characteristic, dig deeply inside yourself, identify your true self and then design a mask that reveals your most powerful identity.  

I have did a mask that represents me. In my mask I have different it with 3 parts, smoke, brain with matches and a red black angry mask. I design this design to bring out my personality which is hot temper by using matches which is flammable substance and smoke add in to bring out the meaning. A straight forward thing that I have design is the angry red black mask.

Reflection
Throughout this design, I have abstracted and know more about myself and own personality. I have also get to know how to construct a mask by exploring the element that I have used. Although there have some problem that I have faced during the process to make the mask and luckily at last I have done it successfully.

Project 2 - Life Capsule

In Project 2 student require to design a confined space which we call ‘Life Capsule’ for a 24-hour use. This limited space will challenge you to thoroughly examine and consider anthropometry and ergonomics -body dimensions, body movements, human behaviours and user needs. We will then progress on to understand how the human body relates to space, and further developing an understanding of scale and proportion in the relationship between the body and space. 
We are also require to prepare 3-dimentional thinking, looking from different angles, applying different types of drawings (like sections, rather than mere plans) and creative models are essential to develop the design of the confined space. 


Board and Model

Reflection
Through this project, the main thing is I have know how important is human and proportion in construction no matter it is just drawing or even model. Besides , I have also know more about design principle that we have insert in our design such as geometry , shapes and others. Other than this , I have also understand more about element that suitable to use in while creating model .

Project 3a - Dreamscape for the Self

In Project 3a you will be required to consider all those aspects (subjective and objective parameters) at the same time in designing a space. We are require to work on exploring several design principles, materializing some meanings and ‘reading’ architectural designs in a series of design tasks and studio based group exercises.

Reflection 

Going through this exercise I have get the real essence of how architectural design will start from a notion and develop through a process affected by multiple forces. I have also understand and apply basic design principles and terminologies Besides, this help me to develop design skills through analysis and ‘reading’ existing buildings and also further give me a chance to create and develop a conceptual narrative.

Project 3b -  Designing a dream space for a dream client

In project 4, we have to design a space for our dream. We can create a It can be a vacation house, a studio, an atelier, a private getaway or can be any place where in it 
will be comprised of 2-3 spaces. We have to make a design based on the scale the set by lecturer including side model and also the space.

Reflection
After finish this project, I have learn how to create a space based on a client and suit to the site. I have also insert the design principle and concept in my model such as contrast and so on. Besides, I have able to express conceptual narrative into form with body and space and also understand the spatial quality of it. During the process, I have also faced quite a number of obstacles and  realize how important is management no matter time management or idea management. I am very glad that I can finished up and end up this wonderful project for degree sem 1.
