It was the second project assigned to us which we were required to conduct a site analysis on the site given (Port Dickson), collect all related data and present them. And the next part of this project was to design a picnic pavilion based on the character we had chosen.
In this project I was paired up with Jia Yi and the client we had chosen was novelist, J.R.R Tolkien who wrote the trilogy of The Lord of The Ring and also The Hobbit. We had carried out a thorough research about our client's life and work and decided to further develop our concept from his perception in languages. The ideas was then translated into our design in terms of its spaces, form, functions and facade.
In this project, I was given the chance to pair up with my friend and designing a picnic pavilion for our client. In the process of developing ideas, we explored all the possibilities in strengthening our concepts and activities required in the pavilion. We actually discovered from our client's passion towards language and derived the words and findings we got from this information. We learn a whole new way of defining the spaces and form of a building and recreated a space that is uniquely and specifically designed from what we understand about our client. We also got to play with different types of materials by trying out an unusual one like cork sheet to have more flexibility to work with. It was indeed a project that allowed me to pick up new skills and brush up what I already have.
