The main aim of Project 2 is to expand the interpretation of one self and heighten the awareness of students about the human body, interaction of space and body, and explores the role of reasoning and logic in shaping the form and space. Secondly, a group work to allow collaborating of ideas. The group will pick one of their members which will become the user of the capsule. All design considerations will be based on the chosen group member’s body dimensions and the occupation that he/she will portray (ex; painter, artist, photographer, scientist, musician, writer, or itself as an architecture student and others).
Project involves designing a ‘Life Capsule’: a confined space which will house multi-functional furniture(s) which the user can use for several positions and for activities within a 24 hours period. This project consists of two major stages 2a: Interim ‘The Shell’ which the student (group) will design the life capsule envelope and Project 2b: Final ‘Furnitecture’ wherein student (group) will creatively design the internal space of the capsule or a can be one multi-functional furniture to address users various positions (seating, lying down, reading, painting and others) which will be corresponding to its activities. The very limited space will challenge the group to thoroughly examine their design approach by strictly considering and adhering to anthropometrics and ergonomics requirements.
Project 2 enhances students analytical and creative skills through designing a limited space and create the most functional and interesting ‘Life Capsule’. The project will likewise enhance their design exploration skills through scaled/study models and then is blown up to a full scaled installation.
Objectives
1. To further the student’s concern about elementary user needs
2. To introduce and create an awareness of the scale and proportion of the human body.
3. To create how human anthropometry and ergonomics relate shape the space.
4. To introduce the role of human behavior in shaping the space and dictating activities.
5. To introduce basic design principles and terminologies on deciding spatial and form configuration. 6. To create and work on full scale installation in order to further visualize efficiency, functionality, quality of space and articulation form.
Learning Outcomes
1. Document, sketch and explain from personal experiences of the built and natural environment
2. Apply the understanding of basic architectural design principles, and the notion of body and space interactions.
3. Maximize utilization of sketching, study modelling and other preliminary design tools going through the process-oriented approach in developing designs.
4. Prepare and enhance student’s verbal communication and presentation skills. Project 2a: Interim is to be presented to tutor assigned. Project 2B: Final to be presented to lecturers assigned.
Project 2a: Interim
Project 2B
Reflection
1.Think critically and creatively
2.Understand team dynamics and mobilize the power of teams.
3. Communicate appropriately in various setting and modes
