PROJECT 3

WONDER MAKER

INTRODUCTION
This project is a continues from the project 1a. 1b, and 2. For project 1a, we use the row as our site, and from project 1b, we relate the obsession into the main program of our space. Nd lastly for project 2, we use the concept from project 2 and bring it into the project 3 with some modification and design development.

WONDERMAKER set foot in the narration of the ‘life of a creator’ after the apocalypse. With limited or infinite physical resources, creativity will always continuously dwell in each individual to sustain and to survive. Devastation of culture, context, history, lifestyle, discovery; how would one ‘re-shape’ the new culture that is left from the ‘scraps’ and set a new revolution or rebuild the future of the interior space?

We are required to design and build the interior from the given site which is The ROW. Design conceptual is requisite to inherit from Project 02 as an approach. Execution must be shown in detail design process & programming via various mediums of art creatively in continuous A3 size butter paper (minimum) of drawings, model making, photography, experimentation, narration and in-depth research of the selected idea of the tittle. WONDERMAKER is essential to be visualized as a notion of the ‘maker/creator’ and be seen as a hub that is able to produce hard and soft products and commercialize it to the public that holds value and it’s own identity and branding.

INTRODUCTION TO LOREMTIO

Loremtio is a place to experience the sense of art therapy in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. The building is designed with garden concept/ nature in order to produce the relax feeling and therapeutic sense. The main purpose of this place is to give therapy through the arts. The number of people that have psychological issues are increasing while people nowadays assuming that go to the therapy place is only wasting time and cannot cure this problem effectively. Art therapy is not a place for counseling such as the normal therapy place but is the place to using art activity with additional effects, in order to release their stress, depression, panic, anxiety, and etc.

In Loremtio, people will able to experience therapy through the visual art such as pottery making, liquid art (pour acrylic and epoxy resin painting, painting on the water fluid, abstract fluid art), live art performance with invited artist like Nyoman Erawan and Miwa Komatsu.

Loremtio also can be a place for people to gather and painting together in the major place where they can enjoy the waterfall sound and sensation of the garden.

The major space for this area is the mesmerizing waterfall from the roof to the underground floor and flowed to the water flow pond. The waterfall has its pump room that able to control the water to flow out. Due to the waterfall source from the ceiling, causes the waterfall cannot to swift, in order to give he sound therapy effect.

Site analysis

Located in a narrow street (alley) and covered with 2 skyscrapers buildings, make the row less in sound pollution and people crowded. Due to the place is for therapy, loremtio located in the right place for therapy within the big city Kuala Lumpur.

REFLECTIVE LEARNING

 Through all of this project, i have learned so many things related to site study, how to create a conceptual model from keywords, how to develop our obsession into program and activities, and how to develop those keywords and concepts to become a space or design.

For this project, I learned how to reduce unnecessary design while maximizing the concepts and purpose of the major space that we have.

Actually loremtio as an art experience is my second idea after struggled in crit 1 with my design which is to make a space for people to use the space for therapy. But based on the lecturers' opinion, I decided to change it into an art therapy/ art experience place.

In the progression for loremtio, I also faced a lot of problems with the concept and rendering since the idea for this place, the interior design in the ground floor will use grass. and i need to ensure about the ambiance that can produce and give the sense of therapeutic and calm/ peace. 

However, I just continue to design and ask some opinion to lecturer and some friends. 

Then, when rendering my perspective, I got problems with it as well. Where my laptop took so long to render 1 picture with high quality. That was affecting my progress for board composition. I just printed mine when others start to pin up their final board. 

And the saddest story, when I fell down and injured my leg. After doing works at university around 2 - 3 am, I fell down near the lakeside and my ankle's vein sprained. it makes me really sad and disappointed because I need to walk to uni, also need to bring all of my models later on presentation day. with my condition during that time, I felt regret and disappointed with my self. this accident teach me "when things reach an extreme, they can only move in the opposite direction"

But now, all of that passed already. I was able to finish everything until the external review. I am so glad about that and I want to say thank you to every tutor that guide me in sem 3. especially to all of my friends who did works together with me for this final project. We learned to help each other, motivate each other, and the most important thing is we just want everyone to pass this semester.

This is a new experience in my life. because in the previous semester I never faced a challenge like this.

Thank you, everyone.
