Design Studio
A brief look into the design studio 1

This is a design of a mask i used to develop my idea.

This is also one of the masks designs i used to develop my final idea


This is a design of a mask i used to develop my idea.
Project 1 (Self Expression through Object)
The first project i encountered was more of a ice breaking project where we had to design a mask which suits our personality. In a whole, it is a mask reflecting all my personalities.
What I learned and gained from this project. :
I learned how to focus into subjective matters which in my opinion is important in the field of architecture. In addition with this, the project was also important for me to produce and object that can communicates ideas which in this case is my personality. Furthermore i learned the basics of how to come up with the design concept for a design and how to come up with an end product based on initial ideas that have been abstracted and redefined through process of translation and interpretation.

Project 2 (Life Capsule)
The second project was to heighten the awareness of human body, interaction of human body in spaces. We were asked to design an interior space for a client including furnitures and etc to help the client with the activities he/she does within the space.
What i learned and gained from this project:
The most important thing i learned from this project was to solve real time architectural problems through the design process for this project. Also, i found a lot about the importance and information about scale and relationship between human body and a designed space. Furthermore i also learned some of the human factors to the design of space ike (its shape, its size, how appropriate it is for the task). Throughout this project i also explored the relation of form and function.

What i learned and gained from this project
The main thing i learned from this project was how to design a space that expresses an idea or narrative, I was also able to identify and apply design princples in spatial organization into my design. I also achieved how to articulate and illustrate poetics of spatial qualities. Furthermore i was also able to produce models, with the aim of generating and developing ideas and as a better representation of the idea. And finally, i learned how to use my communication skills through internal expression of space, diagrams and variety of types of models.
