Project 3

Task

We started by referring back our project 2 structure, Komorebi to reinterpret the form and guiding design principles. Next, we will further expand and explore the anthropometrics and ergonomics of viewing from Project 2. We will also need to create a design intent also known as narrative such that it flows like an architectural journey with a sequence of 2 to 3 spaces. Another thing is that we need to consider the material to be use if we are to construct our structure in real life and we are to pick 2-3 materials from concrete, timber, steel and glass. As for the dimension of the structure in real life it will be 20mᶟ to maximum of 30mᶟ. However, we don't need to build the structure in real life similar to project 2 but just to make a final model in the scale of 1:10.

As for the submission requirements we are also to produce 4 A1 presentation board to compile up our design intentions, narratives, sensory experiences, abstract drawings, tattoo stamps and technical drawings

Narrative

I was excited and surprised to hear that we are going to build a real life bamboo structure for people to use. Thats the first thought in my mind cause it is the first time we get to serve people with our structure. So we started brainstorming our design and ideas all day untill we all agreed on the best ones. Then we move on to the next part of our bamboo journey which is the building. Things are complicated than we thought as its the first time we get to work with bamboo, we keep facing challenges like bamboo cracked , the joint unstable, lack of ropes, electrical machinery broke up and such. So things for me to say it is just hopeless and i really doubt could we finish the whole structure in time. But somehow as we slowly moving forward, we manage to finish the structure and make it stand stable and i really felt proud of us for what we did.

Final structure _ ODYSEE

Space 1: A space for excitement

In this space user will feel excited with new project building a structure in real life and looking forward to brainstorm a new design by viewing through the gaps and touching the texture of the walls for inspiration

Space 2: A space for challenges

In this space after deciding on an idea to work with, the user will move forward and execute the structure by crawling through the structure and climb up the structure. The environment is dark and slowly the space of crawling gets narrow thus this makes it more challenging view the way for the user to crawl in it.

Space 3: A space for relieve

In this space after completing the hard work, the user will then move up and enjoy viewing the structure while relaxing on the seating bench prepared. when moving down the stairs the user get to reflect on the whole journey and recalls back the experience by peeking in to the gaps under the stairs.

Presentation Board

ODYSEE

Odysee comes from the word Odyssey which means a long and eventful or adventurous journey or experience. The see replaced the end of the word to link back to project 2's structure which is viewing.
