Project 1.1  Documentary

select a street vendor along a public street in Bangkok and produce a short documentary, the documentary entirely focussed on this vendor, compiled with footage taken during your site visit.

PROJECT 2.1  Elemental experiences

WATER & EARTH

In this phase of the project, I am challenged to design and build a minimum of two instruments That inquire into the experience of one or more chosen element. Each instrument that I design and build must have a clearly defined focus, even if I do not explicitly know the outcome -- a “hypothesis”. The term experiment is deliberately used in this project brief as it implies a rigorous structure of inquiry where I will be required to define controls and variables, along with a method of measurement/observation. My instrument must critically consider the ways in which The chosen element (or attributes thereof) and the human sensory experience change overtime.

Project 2.2  Habitat

The project will be further designed based on the rules and limits established in drawings and models during the previous phase in addition to a scenario of inhabitation and exchange in the current project phase. The notion of exchange is fundamental both to the conceptual dialogue between habitat and inhabitation and the modes of representation through drawings, models, images, and text.

Project 1.3 Expansion

Fragments/cube 1. What are the different types of fragments? How are they different? Create a 3D drawing of each type. 2. How are the fragments affected by the field and vice-versa?

Field 1. What is your field strategy? Does the system of divisions in the field match (or closely relate to) the cube, or is the field an entirely different system? 2. What happens to the fragments of the cube at the contact surface? 3. Where is the cube located in relation to the field? In the center? In the corner? Why?

Mechanism 1. What is the mechanism of expansion (for example, sliding, rotating, folding, etc)? Do individual fragments move or do groups of fragments move together? If you are rotating fragments, where is the point of rotation? If you’re sliding fragments, how far do they slide? Do different fragments slide different distances? Why? 2. What is the strategy of expansion? In other words, in which direction(s) does the expansion occur? Does the expansion occur in intervals (short segments)? 3. How does the system of expansion relate to the systems of the cube and field? Is it totally separate or integrated?

Project 1.2 Field Insertion

I. Insertion - define the formal relationship between two geometries - a cube and field and determine their interrelated and systems.

II. Field - develop a formal logic within the geometric properties of a field.

Project 2.2  Element World

The objective of this project is to design a sequence of spaces for two humans to experience one chosen element. This is my first encounter with designing a “space” for humans. I must think carefully and critically about how I define a space. I am challenged to define you own conventions based on your own research and experimentation. Just as i the first part of the project, this part of the project requires me to develop a discrete focus for each one of the spaces I design. In many ways each of the spaces should in itself demonstrate a specific aspect of the chosen element and have a clearly determined physical experience.

Project 1.1 System of Division

I. Division -  clearly articulate and communicate the formal operation of separating a ‘whole’ into ‘parts’, and define the formal relation between a fragment and its neighboring others.

II. System - clearly define a system through a set of interacting or interdependent fragments forming an integrated whole.

III. Typology - classify fragments in according to their physical/formal characteristics and define their arrangement and classification in accordance of relative importance or inclusiveness.

Project 2.1 Neighbourhood

The neighbourhood will be designed along a strategic series of steps and upon completion count 12 blocks,100 plots and 100 habitats measuring 140.000m2. The design objectives of the neighbourhood will be defined through 12 masterplans drafted by each studio group corresponding to the perimeter of 12 blocks. Written and drawn documents frame the rules and constraints that must be appropriated during the continuation of the project. The masterplans are all based on the provided digital map and serve as the primary instrument for the development of your individual designs. The masterplans will act as a contract within the studio group and individual students are required to follow the rules outlined in this written and graphic document throughout the entire project.

Project 1.2 - Vending Device

The formal, dimensional, material, and structural characteristics of the design must be based on the following criteria:

● Functional - the device must state a specific purpose of use and include all the tools and attributes needed.

● Operational - the device and all of its parts can be used by a single individual.

● Mobile - the device must be transportable by a single individual.

● Foldable - the device and all of its attributes must be transportable as one whole.
