DOME
A2 Presentation Boards
These presentations boards compile all information regarding final model which are axonometric drawing, elevation drawing, bubble diagram, model development, narrative, concept, spatial relationships and principle diagrams.
Mock-up Model 1
Planes, Voids & Volumes
A 1:200 model with 5 spaces which are work area, pantry, data room, indoor garden and lounge area. The design concept is inspired by Howl's Moving castle.
Assignment 3
Form Manipulations
Task
This assignment required me to create a space based on my client's preferences from the film "Inside Out," which is Fear. I had to create two mock-up models and one final model with scales of 1:200 and 1:100 and dimensions of 7.5cm x 7.5cm x 15cm and 15cm x 15cm x 30cm, respectively. Design principles and elements, as well as ergonomics and proportions, should be considered.

Mock-up Model 2
A 1:200 model with a total of 10 spaces and 7 floors. This in the improved version of mock-up model 1 in terms if space usage, facade design, functionality and significancy.
Planes, Voids & Volumes
Final Model
Planes, Voids & Volumes
A 1:100 model with 9 spaces and 6 floors. It is similar to mock-up model 2 with slight differences. The model is a section model where it can be view from the inside.

Design Development
The design concept of the models are inspired by Howl's Moving Castle. The design of the castle is surrounded by many rooms and spaces which gives a feeling of secure and "Home sweet home". The dome-shaped turret is the main influence towards my models' design.
Mock-up Models Development
The overall design of first model is straightforward and simple compare to second model. However, there is a lack of space utilisation and functionality that needs to be resolved in model 1. Most of the improvements are made in model 2.
Final Model Development
The final model makes full use of space and functionality, which is ideal for the client. All improvements and adjustments were made based on the first and second models. This model is unique in that it can be viewed from the inside. A section model is what it is.
Character Research
This is the research compilation of my assigned client, Fear based on his personality, preferences, habits, like & dislike and etc. The research is obtained from the movie "Inside Out" and side clips.
Reflection
2.0 Lifelong Learning
In this assignment, I learnt a lot regarding architect such as presentation, the understanding of client's needs, design principle and spatial relationships. Besides I tried to push myself further by doing things I haven't tried before such as doing a section model. At the end, I was able to build it with satisfaction. I acquired a better understanding of space and It will definitely helps me in the future.
3.0 Thinking and Problem Solving Skill
The issue I faced in this assignment are to design a space with functionality in which have no idea and direction to start with. I procrastinated until the end of the second week without making any progress. However, in order to find inspiration, I tried Pinterest and Instagram. Eventually, a good idea struck me, and I was able to complete my model a week ahead of schedule.
