Studio Studies VI

In this studio I learnt to design a public space. we're given an option to choose a category such as hospitality, or museum, or education, or health care, sacred place, etc. I got Dipl.-Des Paulus S. Whanarahardja for my major lecture, and Susatyo Dewantono, S.Sn. for my assistant lecture.
I choose hospitality, and a beach resort for my major. Grand Mirage Resort, is the name of my project and it is located in Tanjung Benoa-Nusa Dua, Bali. Therefore I've gone to Bali in order to survey all about the hotel. their rooms, restaurants, kind of guests, facilities, hotel's theme, their maintenance, materials, etc.=="
but I ain't got the full plan of Grand Mirage, so I used the plan of Bali Griya Shanti. in same area, Nusa Dua.

In the beginning of my studio, I was on fire and excited about this project because of the unusual things like its location, and the resort itself have an 'exotic feel' for me. moreover, I have many books and magazines about tropical resort. that's make me so excited to design with more passionate and finish this project with a good mark.
At first I'd a target to make 7 special rooms, but after think about it, that's impossible if make 7 special rooms because we didn't have much time to do it all.. so I just make 3 special rooms (Main Lobby, International Restaurant, and Superior Room) +2 crude rooms (Wedding Chapel and Business Lounge).
I'd prejudice that designing a resto is something interesting, but that's truly false. designing a resto is kind of troublesome..you can't make a superb design, you can't simply make a fuckin barbed design. because the aspects you've consider are many, soooo wide and knotty.. but after a tough discussion with my lecture, I got a pretty cool design for my resto.

and check this also,, the superior room... making this room is simple and my lecture didn't have any important comments, he's just give an simple advice like "Bali's room have to be more romantic, artwork..,etc etc".

and the main looby....the focal point is the pool at the middle of the room. so the other aspect like seating,etc is just become a neutralizer.






My design concept was derived from a verse in the Bible, Prov 4:23 "... for out of it flow the springs of life." but I substitute "life" to "radiance". because my design concept is Sun Ray + Water or the sparkle of ray.. so the concept is "for out of it flow the Springs of Radiance" to give an accent that every rooms in that resort is spraying that gleam.

And last, this's my final presentation board.....

TKMDII X

In 13rd-17th of February, I went to Bandung with my friends (+-25p) to attend a great event called Project Converge of Indonesian Interior Design Students/ Temu Karya Mahasiswa Desain Interior se-Indonesia (TKMDII) X which have a theme "Go Culture! Bring Indonesian Culture to Your House".

TKMDII logo

There was an exhibition about house of every culture in Indonesia and UPH got Dayak culture. and the team's consist of 7 person: I, Andri Lee, Erika Arkinnovna, Felly, Irene, Noviana, and Sheila Laksita.

WORKS

Using the theory of Interior Design by Prof. Mark Taylor + Daniel Libeskind, we tried to find what is the essence/haecceity of Dayak culture and express it roughly+overwhelming. Each of us had job to find every habit of Dayaknese..visual art, jobs, dance, how they live, etc. after that we look forward to what is the most important to them. ........ brainstorming ........ and got concept! Sparkling Sphere.

Modern Dayaknese Home

Eventhough the model is totally different from the usual Dayaknese House (called Rumah Panjang/ Rumah Betang), it's still keep the regulation/precept that hidden in that house,, as the form that's like a beam, location of kitchen in the back of main house, living room as center of the house, corridor interior, etc.

We're not only concern about the interior, but we also doing the exterior. because we're not an interior decorator, but interior design. and according to theory that we used, the emphasize is the space experience rather than decoration elements in the house.

last the member of Project Division of TKMDII UPH are:
I as Head of Project Division, conceptor+layout developer.
Noviana as Vice of Project Division, CAD maker+rendering 
Andri Lee as 3D Artist
Erika Arkinnovna as Material Finder and Board Maker
Felly as Sketcher+rendering
Irene as CAD maker
Sheila Laksita as Maquet incharge.

So that's all I can share about TKMDII X @ Universitas Kristen Maranatha. here some pict of our project.
