Before starting to build our design, we were advised to create a moodboard that would help guide us through the design development stage. 

Moodboard: 



I wanted to create a space that combines the aesthetics of an architectural and nature with the space. I did want to use irregular shaped walls but further into designing it on the software, it became really hard to do, that was one of the difficulties that I had faced. Besides that, I wanted to introduce nature tone colours to create an immersive experience with the space infusing wood textures to the designs. 
Group seating to promote networking and fun activities. Irregularly shaped walls to have an interactive touch to the design. 

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT: 

1. 


This was the first idea that I came up with which was the sleeping pods. I wanted to focus on what the students wanted from the questionnaire. Some wanted personal space for themselves so I designed this. It faces the lake and is surrounded by glass. 
Weakness: no ventilation and not ecofriendly as it requires the installation of an aircond.


2. 


This was also another personal space idea sketch which was like a circular ball surrounding the tree. This was not a very good idea as there was not enough space for the individual to be able to move in that space. 


3. 



I got these sketch ideas from an 'igloo'. I used that as an inspiration. I wanted the area to be a more communal use as it would be impractical to have a personal space. So, my designs slightly shifted towards group seating settings. 


4. 

For this design, I took into account the measurements of the stairs and started to imagine it realistocally. It was also not a very practival design as circular shapes was quite hard for me to figure out in the software that I used to build the space. I wanted to do a two floor open area concept space. 


5. 

This is the design that would be the closes to the final outcome. A 2 level structure with interactive elements, irregular shapes around the buildings. Similar to a building block.  


FINAL DESIGN OUTCOMES: 

Front View. I designed an open space concept for ventilation as the area is quite windy. Previously, I added doors but I decided to take it down to make it more open ended. 

Side View. This is the side view, as you can see, The entire top floor and bottom floor sides are window panels that can be open and shut for ventilation during hot and breezy days. 

Side/ Back View.

Back View. I added a more homely and green touch to the design as the lake is surrounded by greenery. 

Side View.

Side View. Installation of vaccum tubes recycling bin (interactive design). Will be explained when I show the upper level. 

Wall art installation for students to display their artwork in the space without it feeling too cramped.

A small personal study space for an outdoor studying experience. The space is also equipped with a swing facing the lake to create a more refreshing environment.

An indoor miniature slide. The slide is textured and has bumps to increase friction (reduce any potential injuries from occurring).

Second Floor.

Outdoor rooftop.

Addition of a rooftop garden. Students can plant any plants they want as long as it doesn't cause any harm to others. The yellow-ish blinds located at the left end to shade the area from rainy days. There is also a lift that brings the students up to the second floor. 

The second floor is equipped with a lounging space and a gaming station. The screen also helps assist the recycling initiative where students touch on either the brown, yellow, green or blue buttons that helps dispose wastes through the vacuum suction tube. 
Brown- non-recyclable wastes
Yellow- plastics, aluminum cans and packaging materials
Green- organic wastes (food scraps)
Blue- paper, cardboard and clean plastics. 

Roof equipped with solar panels to power the lights in the space during nighttime.

 INTERCULTURAL DESIGN ACADEMIC BLOG Project 1: PROPOSAL On our first class leture for intercultural design, we held an online meeting. We were roughly briefed on our programme structure and  the Module Information Booklet (MIB). We were given the task to create a proposal revolving on the theme of "Cultural Sensitivity in Design". This is a very general theme which could be covered in different aspects. However, as we were divided into teams of 6 members that were given the opportuinity to carry out this study in Japan. Hence, our design topic had to be cultural sensitivity specified in Japan. Without wasting any time, we had a meeting outside our class and brainstormed ideas. These are the 3 main ideas that we had come up with:  1. Tattoo Culture in Japan 2. Torii Gates 3. Yami Kawaii Aesthetic.  Tattoo Japan is well known for its symbolism and the legends that surround its unique forms, which include dragons, chrysanthemums, and cherry blossoms. These symbols are f...

ASSIGNMENT 02 - INITIATING FINAL PRODUCT LINE

Image
 In this assignment, I am translating my earlier research findings into functional, adaptive garments. The goal is to experiment with various functional design elements while addressing consumer pain points and filling market gaps. Working independently, I will focus on creating innovative design solutions tailored to the needs I identified. On the 23rd of October, we made a visit to NASOM center in Batu Caves. The National autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) is a society formed in 1986 by a group of parents and professionals with the aim to deliver lifespan services to the community of persons suffering from autism. We spent 3 hours on our visit where they had given us a tour around the place.  There were many interactive elements around the rooms to keep the kids engaged. Some include rooms with different functions. One of it that caught my attention was this light tube that you had to pump for the bubbles to rise up the liquid.  We had also carried out a game session wi...

Assessment 02 : FABRIC MANIPULATIONS AND SAMPLINGS

For this assignment we were given the theme fashion collabs and create a collection in Ready To Wear apparels. With that, I designed several design developments in mind that I wanted to make it as sustainable as possible. And without further hesitation the first thing that came to mind was denim. I wanted to go for a more street aesthetic and incorporate that in my design.  Denim has become a cornerstone of streetwear, prized for its versatility, durability, and timeless style. As the fashion industry shifts towards sustainability, many brands are innovating with eco-friendly denim, utilizing organic cotton, recycled materials, and water-saving production techniques. This move aligns streetwear's edgy, urban aesthetic with growing consumer demand for environmentally conscious apparel, making denim both a fashion staple and a symbol of sustainable fashion practices. WEEK 5  I had began with my first sample. Incorporating recycled denim with nylon mesh and net.  Colours : h...
