Project 3
Space and Sensory: Self - Exploration through Spaces [Sensory Space]
Objectives of the Assignment:
-
To further the student’s ability to create and develop a conceptual narrative.
-
To introduce and create awareness in understanding the dimensional requirements of the human body (anthropometrics and ergonomics).
-
To explore and apply basic design principles and terminologies.
-
To be able to consider objective and subjective parameters in the design process to create a space this is practical yet poetic.
-
To explore how the selection and application of materials in relation to the sensory experience of space.
-
To be able to select and make different study models (sketch, concept, diagram, section and development models).
Learning Outcomes of the Assignment:
-
Produce design concepts through the process of exploring various sources and abstracting ideas.
-
Identify key architectural design elements and principles and employ them in creating an architectural composition that demonstrates space-making.
-
Relate the idea of the individual ‘self’ and the body’ to space and its experiential qualities.
-
Establish a basic level of understanding of materiality and detailing as means to capture experiential qualities of the design.
-
Demonstrate satisfactory manual drawing and model-making skills to represent and communicate the design.
Design Narrative & Intention:
Before this pandemic, life was exciting and meaningful. But when the Covid-19 crisis happened, it has cause chaos to all of us and took away the interesting moments from our life. Most of the people are getting bored and stress about their life. Many people faced a lot of problems like family matters, mental health issue and others. This pandemic made me feel suffocated to go on with my life. I started to wonder how I could overcome these problem. How do I react to this situation that may affect my emotion eventually?
I wanted to construct a structure to reflect my journey for self-salvation from a stressful and hopeless situation. A journey to be free from the “CAGE”.

1. Thinking and Problem Solving Skills
I was able to figured out the problems I faced when doing this project like lacking out of ideas for the design of my model. I was able to find some ways to solve my problems. I search for some examples and references of some model making design that inspired me.
2. Discipline Specific Knowledge
I learned to explore and apply basic design principles and terminologies. I was able to explore how the selection and application of materials in relation to the sensory experience of space.
3. Intrapersonal Skills
I was able to manage my time wisely in completing the project so that I manage to submit my project right on time. I have learned to manage myself, be self-reliant.
