Bachelor in Interior Architecture- Introduction to Interior Design- Project 2- Illustrate 10 activities (090516)

Scenario:

• Personal Space is the region surrounding a person which they regard as psychologically theirs. Most people value their personal space and feel discomfort, anger, or anxiety when their personal space is encroached. Permitting a person to enter personal space and entering somebody else's personal space are indicators of perception of those people's relationship

Tasks:

•  Illustrate your daily activities. (10)
• Noticed on the surrounding environment and your interaction with the objects around you

Requirements:

• One A3 Cartridge paper
•  Pen of different lineweightfor drawings
• Constructional sketch using pencil (2/2H) are allowed

Bachelor in Interior Architecture- Construction and Technology- Assignment 2

Task:

• Group work
• Build a skeletal structure of an actual building by utilising the application of building fundamentals into actual context using plasticine and rolled paper.
• Model should include beams, slab, footings, and 4 column.

Material

• Plasticine (as a cover material, concrete)
•  Rolled paper (as core reinforcement bar)

Importance of Skeletal Construction

•  Building using a rectangular “skeleton frame” comprising members of

ØBeam

Ø  Column

•   “Hold together” parts of concrete in tension

What are Beams?

• Support for the wall
•   Long, sturdy piece of squared timber or metal spanning an opening or part of a building
• Structural that act to distribute load horizontally, and onwards to its supporting structure below (Usually column)
• Resist bending

What is Columns

•  Vertical load bearing structures that transfer loads above to the supporting structures below.
• Both beams and structure work together to withstand horizontal and vertical force.

What is Footing?

• Shallow foundation that go about a meter into soil
• To transfer loads from wall &column to ground /soil
• To spread out weight of the house

What is Slab?

• ·        A large, thick, flat piece of stone, concrete, or wood, typically rectangular.
  ·        Are constructed to provide flat surfaces, usually horizontal, in building floors, roofs, bridges, and other types of structures. 
  ·        May be supported by walls, by reinforced concrete beams 

After Understanding the above keywords, we have started to build our model

• First, we started up with the formwork for the foundation by combining 4 equal length rolled paper to form a square shape.  
• Then, we did the foundation by pasting plasticine onto the foundation framework. 

• Next, we started to build the column bars for each side of the square.
• We made sure the rolled paper (reinforced steel bar) is connected to the framemwork we have done for the foundation.
• Then followed up by the procedure to paste the plasticine (concrete) onto the rolled paper.

• After that, we did the roof/ second floor’s beam framework by creating another square-shaped combined rolled paper.
•  After that, we covered it with plasticine as slap.

• Finally, it is done.  

Learning Outcome

•  I have learnt that the application of building fundamentals in real life by simulating it using the plasticine model.
•  Building designs included a lot of calculation and technical work for example RC to make a building stronger.
• Concrete is the most suitable material to building walls and column bars because it is good in compression and cheap
• Reinforced steel bars are important and were  put into the internal part of the concrete to compensate the weakness of concrete, which is weak in tension.
• Steel is able to withstand high tensile stresses.

Bachelor in Interior Architecture- Introduction to Interior Design- Project 2- Observation Sketch (050516)

Scenario:
Your studying insect as your inspiration for your design assignment has transferred its superpower ability to you.  Blend in with your personal talent, you are to  develop and discover your new character and  utilize of your power for greater good.   

Task: Two A3 cartridge paper includes

• Personality traits - Background story, physical attribute, changes
• Call name
• Strength and Weakness - Like + dislike, phobia 
• Super ability, skills, talent, etc. c. Costume and Weapon / gadget
• Mission
• Monochrome colour for colour scheme

Lessons

I have better understanding about human scale, proportion and space surrounding. We should have good understanding about anthropometrics to design ergonomics in personal space by illustrating human figure with proper scale and proportion.
