PROJECT 3: Nature's Retreat

Spider Web Analysis

1) Types of Web
Cob web, Orb web, Sheet web, Funnel web.

2) Structure
Tension structure.

3) Circulation
Free flow circulation with maximum ventilation.

4) Texture
Elastic (silk).

5) Configuration of path
Network, Pass through spaces.

6) Material (Defining space)
Sticky thread: to trap prey
Non-sticky thread: to allow movement





Idea Board
Combining Spider web and Daniel Libeskind - 18.36.54

1) Design Intention
-Appreciating the environment / nature.
-Blending in with nature.
-Involvement of human activities with nature surroundings.

2) Design Consideration
-Uneven topography.
-Insects and wild animals.
-Weather and moisture.

3) Circulation
-Pass through spaces.
-Network pathway.
-Oblique approach.

4) Activity Space
-Folding platform / deckings to approach streams / river flow



Final Model





Final Boards
Enfold In-complexity

1) Design Intention
-Maximum air ventilation and penetration of natural lighting (sunlight).
-Different roof levels are formed to create multiple openings for the penetration of light and air flow.

2) Materials
-Stainless steel.
-Timber.



Photo Montage 
Photo montage is done manually, using cut and paste method. Pictures are printed black and white on tracing papers and are cut and paste to create different layering, for a 3D effect.

PRESENTATION: Project 2 - Illusion by Light



Final Board
Inspired by Daniel Libeskind - 18.36.54, designing using folding elements that create a simple exterior / outlook with a complex interior of different element.

IN-COMPLEXITY

Naming the light design as "In-Complexity", my intention was to indicate that the design is 'incomplex', which means simple and not complex. And to also to indicate 'in-complex', which is meant by complex on the inside.
Complexity is shown through the shadow projected out
