DESIGN STUDIO 1
PROJECT 1 : SELF-EXPRESSION THROUGH OBJECT ‘REPRESENTING ME’
For our first design studio project, we were required to design an object that represents ourselves. We also have to explore different possibilities of generating the ideas thorough rigorous design processes and translating the ideas to form an abstract artwork. Not only that, we also have to explore varied forms of artwork in communication and expression of self and its sense to enhance ability not only in sketching but in crafting three dimensional design or art form.
REFLECTION
For this project, I learnt how to produce objects from communicating the ideas and to explore one form of generating design concept and ideas. Moreover, I also learnt more about myself and how to express them by producing an artwork of it.
PROJECT 2 : LIFE CAPSULE’
For this project, we were required to create an awareness of the scale and proportion of the human body and how human anthropometry and ergonomics relate shape the space by creating a 1:1 life capsule. We also have to introduce the role of human behavior in shaping the space and dictating activities..Moreover, we also have to create and work on full scale installation in order to further visualize efficiency, functionality, quality of space and articulation form. Not only that, this project also required us to form a group of 6 people. My group members consist of Hafizi (leader), Akmal, Mateus, Melissa, Weng Keong and myself.

REFLECTION
In this project, I learnt that communication and team work is important in order to produce great ideas and artwork. Not only that, I also learnt to design and create a space and form that embodies and expresses the ideas and in the design narrative.
PROJECT 3 (A) : DREAMSCAPE FOR THE SELF ‘HIDE OUT’
For this project, we were required to design a dream space for ourself by ‘grafting’ or engaging it to the walls
of an imagined ‘city’ on an empty abandoned lot. The design should also be inspired by our personal
understanding and perception of a hideout that best fits your users’ personality & individuality. We must also form a group of 4-5 members and select a movie developing the plot and setting, to derive the nature of the site and imagined city space. My group members consist of Hafizi, Akmal, and myself. The movie we chose for this project is Batman The Dark Knight Rises.
PROJECT 3 (B) : NARRATIVE, CONCEPTUALIZATION AND DESIGN
For our last project, we were required to choose a client and understand their being physically and in
other aspects. We also have to build upon specific theme of conceptual development, scale and proportion
(anthropometry) and basic design principles that will be carefully considered and applied in spatial organization
and design. In addition to that, we must also explore the notions and experiential effects of materials
and the senses in the final design project. Lastly, the form created will either blend and harmonize or contrast
with the created plot or setting.
CLIENT : ELLEN DEGENERES
DESIGN CONCEPT : SIMPLICITY
REFLECTION
For this project, I learnt to design a space that embodies and expresses an idea or conceptual narrative. Next, to be able to identify, articulate and apply basic design principles in spatial organization and relationships and to be able to create, articulate and illustrate the poetics of spatial quality. Not only that, to be able to produce and choose wisely among variety type of models with the aim of generating and developing design as well as better presentation of idea and advance communication skills through sketching internal expression of space, diagrams and variety type of models. Lastly, A BIG THANKS to MY AWESOME LECTURER, MR. SHEN for all the help and advise given throughout this subject :-)
