Bachelor of Science (Honor) in Architecture
Project 3 Space for the Self
In Project 1&2, you were introduced to subjective and objective parameters and their role in visual art and
user-based designs. As none of those parameters can shape an architectural space on their own per se, in
Project 3 you will be required to consider all those aspects (subjective and objective parameters) at the same
time in designing a space. Going through this exercise you will get the real essence of how architectural
design will start from a notion and develop through a process affected by multiple forces.
We shall begin with Part A where you will work on exploring several design principles, materializing some
meanings and ‘reading’ architectural designs in a series of design tasks and studio based group exercises. In
Part B, individually, you will start designing a dream space for a celebrity or a VIP.
Steve Irwin(The Crocodile Hunter)- DOMUS
Steve Irwin has a very close bond with the nature, therefore i want to create a space for him which blends cloesly into the nature.
This space i create, uses the shape of the ONION and the COCOON, both of them came from the nature.
The photos above are what I've created for my interim.
I've used DOMUS as the name of this space because DOMUS is the Latin word for "home". I want Steve Irwin to feel at home, the other reason i choose Latin word is because English derived from Latin word, Latin is the nature of English, so DOMUS it is.
I've learned to think deeper and do more research about my client through this assignment.
And after working with different people, I have also learned how to improve my Presentation Board. From what my tutor says, a good board is a board which know how to speak for itself. Therefore, i put all the stuff that i want to tell into the board.
Our biggest teacher is always our mistake, and after the three assignmetns, I am learning to create better and better projects. I am learning from all the mistake I've been through.
