Assignment 3
Space & sensory
Task
In this final project I was required to extract some elements from previous projects. The core element I extracted is "resting" which is then developed in to mentally rest instead of physically rest in bamboo project. The brief is focusing on sensorial, space quality and our 5 senses. I was assigned to create a narrative based on my research and findings. An external module ( Design Communication ) is integrated with this assignment to help me with the orthographic drawings and modelling.

Outcome
Heart
Final Model
My final model is an openable section model which best showcases the interior and the sensorial quality that it brings out. The model is around 24 m³ big with the scale 1: 10. The concept used it placebo architecture which means design to improve mental health & well-being.
Process
Mock models
Mock models are the process which I developed the sensorial quality and space usage. I explored on different materials and the impact of using that material towards human sensory. Space quality and arrangement are developed through these models.
Presentation board
HEART
Besides orthographic drawings, I included the bubble dingle to show what happened in those spaces. There are 3 functional spaces that represents TIRED, HOPE & HEAL respectively.
Abstract Drawing
Sensorial Quality
The abstract drawing is to show sensorial quality and action inside the structure. It also shows the light and shadow in all 3 spaces that represent different feelings and emotions.

Process & Narration
1.0 Discipline & Specific Knowledge
2.0 Thinking and Problem Solving Skill
4.0 Lifelong Learning
As a student, a child, a human, people tend to have high hopes on me, making me felt pressured and stressed. I can't help myself but endure it. I was casually sitting in a bean bag in the balcony and the weather is nice, warm light gently hitting on me. The wooden wall and timber floor makes me felt easy and comfortable. At that moment I was distressed. I stand straight up and continued my work.
Nowadays, people are stressed without knowing they are stressed and always being ignored. Their mental health will eventually worsen. The concept of the building / structure is to stimulate users feeling and urge them to calm down & being mentally healed through a journey.
