i-dentity project Studio Fire - Semester 2, 2017 The University of Melbourne 77 Story St., Parkville, VIC, Australia University High School Building
The title of this project: ‘I-dentity’ emphasizes the “I” since the design I am proposing focuses on helping students find and refine their identities through social interaction. This project is based on Erik Erikson’s 8 stages of psychosocial developments which highlights the process undergone by individuals from infanthood to adulthood in relation to different social factors. According to Erikson, adolescence is the stage where individuals experience identity and role confusion. Not being able to understand oneself during this stage would affect how they go through the subsequent stages and eventually affect their mental health. Through my research, I found that cultivating a reflexive practice as well as being socially exposed to different people through interaction are essential in forming one’s identity.
My design approach is to create functional, spatial and interior diagrams based on the 8 stages of psychosocial development. The idea is to find what architecture can offer to assist users in dealing with the different social challenges from each stage. This project focuses on providing social spaces for students to explore themselves as individuals and providing comfortable areas for group interaction. These diagrams show how I have arranged the different programs; the spaces are directly related to the 8 stages and are colour coded accordingly. The atrium and sports court are located facing the Royal Parade due to its accessibility and proximity to public transportation and Melbourne University, thus facilitating public use.

ERIK ERIKSON 8 STAGES OF PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTS
The first stage is represented in the green roof, where students can learn to trust the nature and environments. The second one is interpreted as classroom where they are guided and prepared to face the world without shame and doubt. Next one is the space designed for students to perform and explore their skills as individuals
The fourth stage is where students can showcase their artworks and achieve validation for their works. The fifth stage is about role confusion and it is expressed metaphorically through the faรงade.

The next stage is concerned about the issue of intimacy; I designed a private study space where students can cultivate meaningful relationships with their peers. On the seventh stage is a public space where people can casually connect with each other and have after hours activities. The last stage is interpreted as a space
for self-reflection to help students achieve integrity and confidence about their own thoughts. This idea of interconnecting the spaces is also expressed through the use of glass as the main material to connect the facility with its surroundings.

blue banded bee pavilion Studio Air - Semester 1, 2017 The University of Melbourne Merri Creek Bank, VIC, Australia In collaboration with Rose Ong and Emmett Wang
With this project, I intend to create a structure where animals can work their way on it by making a framework for the habitation instead of a replacement for the habitation itself. Furthermore, I think there should be something that humans can gain from interacting with the structure instead of just merely being able to ‘observe’ the animals up close, which positions the structure similar to museums or zoo instead of a place that actively encourage the relationship between the two species. The endangered blue-banded bees which are native to the Merri Creek have largely decreased in population
over the years. Consequently, many of the fauna species which require the bee’s special buzz pollination have decreased as well. The idea behind our design is to provide a structure that can facilitate bee hotels, where the bees can then dig holes within the soft clay provided and lay their eggs safely inside. Moreover, this structure will require the help of humans as the framework design is made to allow visitors to mold the soft clay into the structure’s framework which later on hardens and forms the bee’s habitation and nests.

Hence, this structure will act as a pavilion that is aimed to enhance the relationship between humans and the blue-banded bees, creating awareness of its depletion and significance in pollinating blue flowers. Firstly, for the site, this structure could help replenishing the endangered bee species in Merri Creek. Secondly, to humans, this structure would allow the opportunities of contribution to improve the condition of Merri Creek. Concurrently, by helping to create these bee hotels through the activity this provided, the public can do good for the environments and also feel good about themselves. Furthermore, by increasing the
bee’s population, it is assumed that the production of certain fruits such as tomatoes which will also increase which can be used by humans as commodities. Lastly, to the non-human species such as the bees and the flowers around the structure, this pavilion would help increase their population and ensure consistent habitat and food provision. Hence, the design direction and purpose of this structure has been thoroughly tought of to fulfil the main purpose of facilitating the opportunity for reciprocal mutualism between humans and non-human species.
alexandra park boat house Studio Water - Semester 2, 2016 The University of Melbourne Alexandra Park, South Bank, VIC, Australia
Learning from Toyo Ito and Sejima’s previous projects such as the Serpentine Gallery Pavillion and the Park Café, this site will be arranged based on their function with a choreographed circulation for a better connection to the site. - The first structure is an open glass kiosk, connecting people to and from the jetty. The basement of this kiosk will be implanted unto the ground to respond to the angular landform of the river bank. - The second structure will be used for boat storage, café, and administrative purposes. This structure is
designed to combine the strict, angular quality of the existing boathouses with the contrasting circular shape which is directed in such angle to better capture the view of the river. - Just as how Toyo Ito and Sejima use building design as a mean to reduce the gap between architecture and nature, this double-height structure will be made using concealed structural systems which allow the realization of a more complex façade system used to frame the nature, helping people to see the surroundings differently.

- Lastly, the third structure located on the relatively quiet northern area will be used for restaurant. Because of its edgeless shape, user could experience and see the nature in a panoramic angle. In addition, the transparent roof is designed to help user experience nature in a more organic ways where they could conveniently feel the light during daytime, see water pouring down during rainy days and also stars at night.
All of these structures would be made out of lightweight steel sheets and glass panels to reduce the separation between our bodies from the space we inhabit; a characteristic which dominates metropolitan buildings. In addition, to connect all these separate buildings are pathways with circular lawn patches that will guide and orchestrate the movement and circulation around the area while demonstrating the idea of balance between nature and modernity.

INTERIOR DESIGN
Gladsome Coffee Shop Client : Ms. YJ (2018) Balong, Surakarta, Indonesia Production Stage
25
The client of this project wanted to have a warm yet simplistic cafe with Japanese theme overarching the venue. Hence, we decided to use concrete, light colored wooden texture and white as the main material palette. For the furniture, we use both those which are sold commercially and custom designed ones as it is more cost efficient and convenient to provide wider range of variation to the seemingly monotonous space.
Chinese Restaurant Design Client : Mr. HH (2018) Yogyakarta, Indonesia Design Stage
27
For this Chinese Restaurant, we are trying to preserve the oriental vibe for the whole space by using recurring oriental patterns around the area as well as red lanterns as the ornaments and lighting for the space. Furthermore, we want to maximize the space usage in the limited space. Hence, we arrange the seatings in such way to better orchestrate the movement and circulations.
Panti Wredha Lentera Harapan Client : Panitia Pengurus Panti Wredha (2018) Mojosongo, Surakarta, Indonesia Design Stage
This public institution is specifically made to care for elderly people whose family members are not able to care for them on their own. The client wanted to make sure that the building is comfortable and appropriately designed, with the standard of a commercial hotel.
Hence, we avoid any design elements which gives the impression of hospital. We made sure the public areas and the bedrooms exude the feeling of warmth and comfort. Thus, we used the combination of warm wooden laminates and paint colors throughout the area.
29
Studio Apartment Design Client : Mr. AH (2019) Surakarta, Indonesia Design Stage
This client asked for a modern classic interior design that feels just like home. Hence, we used combinations of monochromic tone such as grey and white together with classical ivory for the furniture around the relatively small area. In addition, we felt that designing wardrobe would take up too much space inside the room. Consequently, we settled with open hanger and luggage rack which also work as full-height mirror to optimize the space usage.
