1.0 THREE RELATIONSHIPS

The three tec(h)tonics of “Point, Line & Plane”, “Frame & Infill”, and “Mass”, were being explored during semester on the first three exercises. The final architectural project implements the three relationships between the three tec(h)tonics that had been applied on the exercises.

Design ConceptThe design concept is about difference and repetition that can be seen from the variation of length and height of the plane within the same 90 degree angle. It is

designed in irregularity, indeterminacy, and complexity.

Point, Line, & Plane Tec(h)tonicThere is a progression from plane becoming line, or line becoming plane, it is a

matter of perspective. From bird eye level, it can be seen that it is all about variation of lines. But, from the other sides, it can be seen that the lines are

actually made from the planes.

9

1.1 POINT / LINE / PLANE

“Point, Line & Plane” is about a process of becoming. it is about a growth in dimensions, a transformation from point becomes line, line becomes plane, and it can be done in reverse as well. It is also about a matter of perspective.

Design ConceptThe concept of this design is about creating something that is deeply

hidden or concealed inside, that makes the beholder intrigued to find out what is happening.

Frame & Infill Tec(h)tonicThe cuboid beams are the frame for the strings that are the infill, that dance freely, around the beams. The infill becomes the frame for the another infill

inside, which is the different perspective of void that be

seen as cube, sphere, penthagon, or hexagon, etc.

11

1.2 FRAME & INFILL

This is about the dialectic between “Frame” and “Infill”. The frame is the one that seems permanent, fixed, static, and it is a form giver. The infill is the one that seems temporary, fluid, dynamic, and it is a secondary.

Design Concept & Mass Tec(h)tonicThe very dusty and rough drawing represents

a disturbing feeling. It represents human mind that is not satisfied with their rational thinking, then they go

out from their rationality to try finding something

divine or irrational from common human thinking. Thus, as they go to a deeper level of thinking, they

only find confusion to confusion, that are disturbing, leads to sorrow, fear, until madness.

The design drawing represents the human mind. It shows juxtaposition of the association of

rationality of the ground and irrationality of the underground space. It can be seen that the nearer

access to the ground, the more organized and in or-der it is, everything makes sense. But the further to the underground space, the more chaos and confusing.

The mass tec(h)tonic can be seen from the darkness to create a sense of heaviness, and compilation of

lines (consisted of voids) that are inspired by the

compilation of twigs inside the forest that gives a crowded and disturbing feeling, and fear.

13

1.3 MASS

This exercise is made to explore the underground space to create something that gives a heavy and or crowded feeling. From this exercise, “void” or emptiness is also introduced as the negative of “mass”.

2.0 CONCEPT MASS 3D MODEL 2.1 COLLAGE MASS

In this exercise, I did collage mass that is made from my previous mass drawing. I made several lines that are cut from my mass drawing and overlap them on my two copies of mass drawings that are opposite to each other.

2.2 OUTCOME

The transparency that I reduced on my two copies of mass drawings emphasised the lines more clearly. The lines that are in order through the 90 degree angles, but in irregular order of length and height, overlapping to each other. The lines are also situated among the overlapping elements. From this drawing, I got the idea of an overlap layers that create messiness but at the same time, have an order as well.

3.0 HERRING ISLAND. SOMETHING LIKE A PAVILION

“Architecture is bound to situation, and I feel like the site is a metaphysical link, a poetic link, to what a building can be.”

3.1 SITE ANALYSIS AND CONCEPTACLE

Conceptacle

My conceptacle is gotten from my previous three exercises of PLP, FI, and MASS. From PLP, I took the difference and repetition of plane that becomes line. From FI, is the perception of cuboid voids. From MASS, is the compilation of lines that become MASS.

: High Activity Area

Site Analysis

This site is situated in such a low noise area and low activity area that create a sense of isolation. The photograph that I accidently

took tells me more that just a site. The photograph gives poetic and metaphysical link. It seems that the vegetation in this island,

the nature inside, are against the people. The people seem to be trapped, lost, and alienated.

3.2 CONCEPT AND SKETCH DESIGN

The chaotic built form represents the alienation inside human mind. The chaos in the scheme seems to hide the deepest secret so intensely that lies somewhere inside the built form, that perhaps cannot be revealed. It is just like inside human mind that hides deepest secret that perhaps will not be known or understood by him/herself until the end of their lives, and they live with it, as part of their existency.

3.3 DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

The built form is half situated on underground. The activities mostly are occured on the underground space. There are programmes such as toilet, stairs, and seats that are made by the planes. Most of the form here are made to be explored by people.

4.0 REFLECTION

The challenges that I experienced are mostly about the technical stuffs such as; 1. Learning other softwares such as Photoshop, Indesign, Rhino, Autocad, and also learning to do drawings through watercolor, and combine hand-drawing with drawings from softwares, 2. Be more considerate with the materiality to deliver the meaning, feeling and atmosphere in my design based on the concept that I have,3. To create a consistent language or style to deliver my whole design as a theme so every part of my presentation have an integration,4. To create programmes in my design that is still in an abstract form.

I have learned that to create a good design requires a long time and also requires a heart that enjoys the whole process. To do research about other architectural projects from websites and other resources are very important to shape my process of thinking in designing and to expand my knowledge in architectural design, how to be a better architect. Also, from this studio, I have realized that I have to be humble enough to see other students’ works and listen to their ideas carefully and critically, and the feedbacks that the tutor gave to them, because actually they are really important as part of my learning process in designing and to increase my ability in design thinking. Also, I have learned that I have to push my self to create an ambitious design in order to grow better as a designer. Concepts are very important to be thought deeply and further, but they have to be actualized in an excellent presentations (model making, drawing, 3D modelling, etc) so the true message that I want to tell can be understood deeply and better by the audiences or my clients in the future.
