PPROJECT 3: SKIN/ENVELOP/SHELL

In this project, the students are required to design a skin for the functional space from the previous project. We can say that this project is prolonged from project 2. In this project, even though we have to design its skin, we have to consider about the other aspect in designing such as ventilation, wind direction, path of the sun, lighting and also the geography. Which mean that we have to consider and study the suitable site in chosen area for the skin.

It is related from the first semester of study where it consisting actor (people), rules and site. The people or the actor of course me is the one who designing and give idea and I have to follow the rule given so it can fulfill the requirement of this project. The site that I have choose also must follow the rule of nature such as the wind flow and make sure the site is suitable and its design also can be blended with its surrounding.

The skin design, I use the concept of octagon and capsule and combine it together and forming the capsule room. Event though I have design it like a caravan without a wheel, it still moveable from site to another site. This also adopted from the container room which it can move to another site according to the owner taste. In other word, it is portable.

As for it concept design, I choose octagon because it was the basic shape in Islamic architecture. Research state that, octagon shape can spread out spiritual energy, either positive or negative energy depending on the users of this room. Since this room used as a studio, it hope that can spread out positive energy, such as creative mind and smart in doing task to its surrounding.

The capsule concept, we all know the capsule often used in medicine and remedy industry, so I used it in my design. The capsule concept means that this design is portable and can be a landscape decoration in garden or near the hill.

This project are really revising me about the last semester about intention, act and product and I can still remember it and use for my principles of life.
