Scenario:
- A continuation of the previous projects.
- With the design principles, language and keywords all figured, design a secret lair for your character to hibernate and serves as a short-term stay hangout.
- Creative & unique
Objective:
- To apply the knowledge of design principle, formal organization and variation to design ideas
- To display creativity throughout design process and come out with innovative design solution.
- To show anthropometrics and ergonomics understanding in personal space.
- To illustrate and present ideas with proper scale and proportion using the right tools and technique.
Step 1:
- Do a research on man-made structure inspired by natural habitat.
- Sketch out ideas how you can use your inspiration and design language to create interesting structure composition.
- Create a story about how your superhero moves to the shelter

Step 2:
- SPACE & FUNCTION: With proper circulation, the space has to be designed creatively and specifically to suit the function.
- FORM: Once the space is determine, you can envelope the structure and appropriate openings with forms that would reflects your design characteristic, language and keywords. Determine the context
- The maximum perimeter of your floor area is 16m2.
- Fill in the space with furniture by using the same language (built-in) to accommodate the activities.
- Creative and practical solutions that are functional.

- 4A3 Draft For Final Presentation Board
Step 4: Internal design Review (Final)
Learning Outcomes:
- I have learnt that the importance of anthropology in which how human react to something like furniture. When designing a house or a shelter, we should consider the "activities", the occupants will carry out, but not just our own inspiration. There are also many factor that influence the form of a building for example the context. Under strong wind condition we might want to have a protection feature built-in in the building, or if a building is built on top of a hill, they might need certain support or bracing to support the building. From the advises of professional reviewer, I have been told that I might be too careful and focus of everything which lead to loss of certain focus. Although every information on the board seems equally important, I should focus on something (be the wild factor) to make the board more effective and fluent. In my opinion, this project is hard, tiring and meaningful. I could feel the sense of achievement after seeing my project (all of my previous related work).
