FINAL PROJECT (INDIVIDUAL)

Space and Sensory: Self - Exploration through Spaces [Sensory Space]

​In Project 3, I will have to re-evaluate my 1:1 structure and transform it into a series of sensory spaces with total volumetric boundaries of 20m3 (3m3) that forecast the journey, experience, and emotion of users. Considering the experience and appreciation of space influenced by design principles and how do space's form and material make an impact on our senses while developing my final project?

EXPLORATIONS

  1. Develop a spatial narrative by re-examining the activity and particular action from your 1:1 structure from project.

  2. Develop the sensorial experience of your spaces, guided by design principles, structure, materiality, anthropometry, ergonomics, and architectural narrative via multiple test models and drawings.

  3. You must translate the spatial narrative into an architectural journey with a sequence of 2 to 3 spaces.

OBJECTIVES

  1. Improve the student's capability for conceptual narrative development.

  2. Introduce and raise awareness of the human body's dimensional requirements (anthropometrics and ergonomics).

  3. Examine and use fundamental terms and principles of design.

  4. Able to take both objective and subjective factors into account during the design process in order to produce an environment that is both functional and poetic.

  5. Examine the relationship between material choice and application and the spatial sense of perception.

  6. The ability to choose and create various study models, including development, concept, and diagram models.

PROJECT BRIEF

TASKS

RE-INTERPRETATION OF YOUR 1:1 STRUCTURE FROM PROJECT 2

  • The primary goal of your Project 2 is to reinterpret and reexamine the shape and guiding design concepts.

  • Create a design intent (narrative) based on your reinterpretation of the structure and activity from Project 2.

  • Expand upon and investigate the anthropometrics and ergonomics of your particular activity from Project 2.

  • Create an architectural journey with a succession of two to three spaces based on your design objective (story).

MATERIAL AND STRUCTURE RESEARCH

  • Choose no more than three (3), no less than two (2), of the materials listed below to be used on the reinterpretation of your 1:1 structure:

  1. Concrete

  2. Wood

  3. Steel

  4. Glass

  • Research the features, attributes, building methods, and sensory qualities of your chosen materials and use them to design your places.

IDEA EXPLORATION AND TEST MODELS

With the support of several test models, sketches, and drawings, develop and test your reinterpretation further.

DRAWINGS AND FINAL MODEL

  • Exploded axonometric as key drawings to show structure and joinery details.

  • Floor plan, section, and elevation of your design.

  • Tattoo stamps to explore ideas

When the project first began, I had no ideas for my structures and was unsure of where to start. Before I begin with my broad concepts, I disassemble project 2 first. ​I was able to develop a number of design concepts and asked my lecturer for advice and opinions. I have acquired new ways of thinking as a result of working on this project, and I continually strive to find the best answers to the issues I encounter.

LECTURE

REFLECTION

tgc-PhotoRoom.png

As this is my first time completing four A1 boards, I was able to understand the composition of my boards by creating rough sketches of the organization and presenting them to my lecturer for feedback. I was able to reflect on the hierarchy of the titles and content from my previous projects. My lecturer commented on my drawings and offered suggestions for how I may pleasantly improve them.

MODULE ASSESSMENTS

My lecturer and I have good communication, which helps me feel at ease sharing my opinions and accepting criticism for improvement. Since constructing models using the right scale is such a critical thing to make, he did his best to make sure I understood every method. He provided some constructive criticism based on my structural arrangements and ensured that I used the proper anthropometry and ergonomics in light of my sensory impressions.
