MY CAFE
PROJECT 3
THIS IS THE MAJOR PART OF THIS MODULE, IN THIS PROJECT WE NEED TO USE ALL THE KNOWLEDGE WE GET FROM THE FIRST PROJECT TO DESIGN A CAFE.
​
THE CAFE ARE DESIGN USING TWO DIFFERENT SIZE OF CONTAINER, A 6000MM CONTAINER AND A 12000MM CONTAINER. WITH A LIMITED SPACE, WE NEED TO USE ALL THE SPACE WELL AND PRODUCE A GOOD CAFE DESIGN.
​
THE SITE I CHOOSE DURING THE SEKEPING SERENDAH RETREAT SITE VISIT WAS ON A SLOPE NEAR GLASS SHED 2. THE SLOPE IS LINK TO A RIVER SURROUNDED BY TREES.
​
THE FIRST THING WE DID FOR THIS PROJECT WAS PLAY AROUND WITH THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE CONTAINER TO FIND THE BEST POSE FOR OUR DESIGN.
DURING THE IDEATION DEVELOPMENT, I WENT CINEMA FOR THE NEW MOVIE (AVENGERS ENDGAME). IN THE CINEMA, I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE CONTAINER ARRANGEMENT AND THE INTERIOR SPACE THAT COULD GIVE A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE TO PEOPLE.
​
WHILE THINKING, I LOOK AROUND THE CINEMA AND TRY TO IMAGINE IF I AM SITING IN A CONTAINER CINEMA. I LOOK AT THE STAIR AND THE SEAT AROUND ME, I COME OUT WITH AN IDEA FOR MY CONTAINER ARRANGEMENT WHICH IS A SLANTED SPACE.
​
AFTER SHOWING THE IDEA TO THE LECTURER, THEY APPROVE AND ACCEPT MY IDEA. BUT THE IDEA IS STILL BORING.
​
I TRY TO ROTATE THE SLANTED CONTAINER AND EXPLORE THE SPACE FOR THE ROTATED SLANTED CONTAINER.
​
IT WAS QUITE TRICKY ON BEGINNING BUT SLOWLY I UNDERSTAND THE FORM BETTER BY MAKING THE SECOND MOCKUP AND VIEW IT IN 3D VIEW.
IT TOOK ME FEW DAYS TO FIGURE OUT THE FORM, SPACE, AND PRACTICAL ISSUE FOR THIS IDEA.
​
BY HAVING JUST A LONG ROTATED SLANTED CONTAINER, I TRY TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING AND MORE CHALLENGING TO ME.
​
I SEPARATE THE LONG CONTAINER INTO THREE SECTION AND ROTATE IT TO DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
​
I FINALLY FOUND A CHALLENGING FORM AND FOCUS IT AS MY FINAL IDEA.
​
I DEVELOP IT INTO PLAN, SECTION, 3D FORM AND THE THIRD MOCK UP TO SEE WETHER THE IDEA IS POSSIBLE OR NOT ESPECIALLY THE INTERIOR.
AFTER SHOWING IT TO MY LECTURER, THEY GIVE ME A VERY HELPFUL FEEDBACK.
THEY SUGGEST ME TO HAVE A UNIQUE THING HAPPENING ON THE INTERSECTION OF THE TWO CONTAINER.
​
I REMEMBER THE MOVIE I WATCH WAS THE AVENGERS ENDGAME, THERE IS A CHARACTER NAME DR.STRANGER. HIS SIGNATURE MOVE IS CREATE A MAGIC SPACE TRAVEL HOLE FOR PEOPLE TO TRAVEL FROM A PLACE TO ANOTHER SPACE.
​
HE WILL TURN HIS HAND AND MAKE A CIRCLE FORM LIKE A STAR TO OPEN THE SPACE TRAVEL HOLE.
​
I AM THINKING WHAT IF THE ROTATED SLANTED SPACE CAN ROTATE.
​
ON THE BEGINNING I AM JUST PLAYING WITH THE IDEA AND TELL MY MUM ABOUT THE IDEA, SHE TELL ME NOT TO MAKE MYSELF SUFFER BY KEEPS ON ADDING CRAZY THOUGH INTO MY DESIGN.
​
I AM A STUBBORN AND PLAYFUL CHILD, SO I DECIDE TO ADD IN THE ROTATABLE SPACE INTO MY DESIGN AS THE FOUTH SECTION IN THE LONG CONTAINER.
​
THE ROTATING SPACE IS A STORAGE FOR PEOPLE TO GET SAUCE, SALT, SUGAR, MAGAZINE AND ETC.
​
​
I SPEND ANOTHER FEW DAYS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT WORK IN MY CAFE.
I USE THE Ferris wheel AS MY REFERENCE TO DESIGN THE MECHANISM FOR THE ROTATABLE FORM. DUE TO THE IDEA ADD ON, I REDRAW THE LAYOUT PLAN, SECTION, DRAW THE ROTATABLE FORM OUT AND MAKE THE FOUTH MOCKUP.
FINALLY THE FINAL DESIGN HAD BEEN CONFIRM AFTER ALL OF THE STRESS.
I START TO MAKE THE FINAL MODEL AND DECIDE TO USE NATURAL MATERIALS FOR MY MODEL.
​
I USED THE REAL SOIL AND SAND TO MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT.
I SEEN EPOXY ON FACEBOOK, I WANTED TO TRY IT SO I BOUGHT IT AND TRY IT ON THIS FINAL MODEL.
​
I AM CURIOUS ON THE OUTCOME BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I PUT SO MANY EXPLORATION AND NEW EXPERIENCE INTO A SINGLE PROJECT.
​
I AM HAPPY WITH ALL MY EXPLORATION AND MY FINAL MODEL BECAUSE MY EFFORT DOES NOT BECOME MEANINGLESS.
​
AFTER THE FINAL MODEL, I START TO DESIGN MY FINAL PRESENTATION BOARD. AS THIS SEMESTER IS GOING TO END, I AM HAPPY THAT I LEARN A LOT FROM THIS SEMESTER.
​
I AM HAPPY TO GET CRITIC FROM MY LECTURERS AND GET A VERY USEFUL FEEDBACK TO IMPROVE.
​
AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO THANKS MS.DIANA, MR.ROMZI AND MS.HANIM FOR THE CARING, GUIDANCE, AND A LOT MORE TO THANKS.
