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.

Studio Desain / Studio Studies III

I take this subject in August 2009; and it has 9 credits, so if I got a bad mark, it will absolutely affect to my IPK.. oh, I got Dipl.-Des. Paulus S. Whanarahardja as my major lecture and Eva Maude Darmawan S.Sn as my adviser lecture.
I learned about how to design a home..a dwell to someone.

My Client are brothers. both of them are Male and they're really like to be at home.
after I'd been interviewing them, I got their data.. like what they're doing at home, what is his favorite things, his collections,  etc. and then, I started to mind mapping, to dig what's exactly do they need.. Mind mapping is very important, because from there you could finally get a concept and the style of your later on design.

Finally, I found my concept to his home was Enlightenment and Tadao Ando and Takashi Sugimoto as my architect and interior references.
so in their home, there will be a crescent form as central area, which is that area is a medium for anything vital to be done.. This is an open space house, and that crescent area is surrounded by a small pool, it's used as heat recall and air circulation for the overall space.
and the other form of the house is following that basic shapes.. also about the stairs (upstairs), type of the stairs is buckle, and it's engirdle that crescent form.
about the lighting, i maximize the use of natural lighting.. i tried to manipulate the sun light into my project like Tadao Ando, the Architect of Light.





and for this subject -by grace alone- I got an A-. it's so gladdened me!
but the worse thing is my portfolios in Studio Studies III were disappear.. I was so angry and sad at that time.. I think, I should make it once again when I've a free time! and now that's not a big deal for me :D
