BIOGRAPHY
Worked as a freelance carpenter after quitting engineering school, practicing Japanese carpentry and emphasizing on traditional hand tools while minimizing the use of machines. Architecture had always intrigued me. Curiosity have lead me to pursue architecture and further broaden my horizon and skills. This portfolio is a collection of work from project 1 to 3 of Design Studio 2 of Jan-May 2020. To generate unique ideas and concepts from the precedence studies and developing design process in order to understand forms, spatial planning, materials and ultimately developing own’s design language.

Designing unique sportsman capsule especially for chosen client
PROJECT 1: PRECEDENCE STUDY The Architectural precedent studies act as reference points between the built works, giving a clear understanding of what has been built and how the knowledge can be improvised in order to create new and better design solutions. We must first dissect and critically analysed existing buildings designed by great architects (both Modernist and Contemporary), in order to understand the building anatomy and convey its conceptual ideas behind these works. In pursuit of finding my own design concept, a precedent study helps to expand my personal experience in producing richer and more detailed design solutions.
PROJECT 1: PRECENDENCE STUDY
Robert Harvey Oshatz believe that architecture should be at peace with its environment and that people should be at peace within. Throughout the years this has resulted in an architecture that is a synthesis of logic and emotion, exploring and fulfilling the dreams and fantasies of the client. Robert Oshatz is well known for his unique approach to design and architecture. His creations are a unique expressions of identity and form and the realities of his clients.

Fennell Residence The Fennell Residence presented a unique challenge as the site was “on” the Willamette River as opposed to “by” the river. The project is focused on the poetry of the ripples and contours of the river, it’s never ending flow, the view, and the interrelationship concerning the play of the sun and moon as it courses through the days of the year.

PROJECT 1: PRECENDENCE STUDY
Le Corbusier was born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris in Switzerland on October 6, 1887. In 1917, he moved to Paris and assumed the pseudonym Le Corbusier. In his architecture, he chiefly built with steel and reinforced concrete and worked with elemental geometric forms. Le Corbusier's painting emphasized clear forms and structures, which corresponded to his architecture.
Villa Le Lac
Le Corbusier
A small house (Petite Maison Corseaux), destined to be the home of the parents of Le Corbusier, was built between 1923-24 on the plans of Le Corbusier and his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret. The building design and the plans had been developed before choosing the ground; Le Corbusier was given the task of finding a lot and found the perfect place.

PROJECT 2: DESIGNING FOR ATHLETES
From the design analysis and construction techniques researched from Project 1’s case studies, We are to be familiar with the thinking process, design elements and principles, forms, volume and spaces applied by various architects. In project 2, we are expected use the knowledge gained to be applied when designing a working space for their chosen client: an athlete. Therefore, understanding the needs and wants of the client is the first priority of this project

PROJECT 2B: CLIENT STORYBOARD
Awa Kenzo was born the first son of Sato Denaemon and wife Shun on April 4, 1880 in the village Yokawa (now known as Kawakitamachi) in the northern part of the Miyagi Prefecture. Widely recognized as the finest bowman and kyujustu master in the country. Although Kyudo, or Japanese archery was strongly influenced by Zen Buddhism. His personality is very outspoken, demanding, critical and impatient. During practice he would roar so loudly that people ran away.

PROJECT 3: SPORTSMAN CAPSULE The final project discusses the spatial potentialities and the relationship between the architecture and its inhabitants in creating a sense of belonging. Project 3 is about transferring and applying the basic knowledge learned from the previous projects (1 & 2) in designing a new hybrid of space that suits the surrounding context, the climate, and the occupants. In continuation of the training/working/ retreat space from Project 2, students are assigned to attach and design a temporary habitable space or capsule space for their selected clients with the idea to redefine a retreat space.

PROJECT 3: PRECENDENCE STUDY
Four Leaves Villa Karuizawa, Nagano, Japan KIAS Architect The villa is located in a forest in Karuizawa, Nagano prefecture of Japan. The privately owned villa is designed to accommodate the owners and their friends in the rich natural environment at a mountain retreat 150 kilometers away from Tokyo.
Four Leaves Villa
In order to form variable cross section suitable for each function, roofs were designed as curved surface like a gently twisted leaves. Combination of a concave and a convex roof configures from a high ceiling's expansive space to an introverted compact space. Every roof was designed as a Ruled Surface in which straight LVL joists were arranged continuously to form an organic geometry. Series of wooden joists are exposed on the ceiling highlighting its dynamic spatial characters of each living space.

Four Leaves Villa São Paulo, Brazil Kengo Kuma & Associates, FGMF Arquitetos The global initiative by the Japanese Government aims to "create a vision of contemporary Japan." Opened May 2018, Japan House combines art, technology, and business to offer an escape to present day Japan.
The most emblematic aspect of the design is its facade, which presents a "curtain of wooden rules made of hinoki and worked by Japanese craftsmen in a conversation with the traditional cobogós, small hollowed out cement blocks commonly used in Brazilian modern architecture."

PROJECT 3: PRECENDENCE STUDY ON LIGHT
In this precedence study I have choosen Kengo Kuma on his use of ligh. More specifically the Komorebi (木漏れ日) effect to design my second floor façade. The komorebi effect or “first light”, it is the filter of light by leaves. I want this effect to be prominent on the private space to be a gentle relationship to the surrounding nature.

TIMBER DECK FLOORING
In order to form variable cross section suitable for each function, roofs were designed as curved surface like gently twisted leaves. Every roof has been designed as a Ruled Surface in which straight Laminated Veneer Lumber joists are arranged continuously to form an organic geometry.
Timber deck flooring is used in this construction and adding waterproof coating and a layer of waterproof membrane ensures the durability and longevity of the timber flooring.
A series of wooden joists is exposed on the ceiling highlighting the dynamic spatial characters of each living space.
Timber joist and runners are then joint together with traditional Japanese joinery
PIER FOUNDATION The concrete pier is made up of concrete. These are cast in situ pier precast concrete pier, are manufactured in a factor and then driven into the ground at the place required. The post is made of teak as it is easily available near the site. Teak are also long lasting woods resistant to warping, decay, cracking, or twisting. These dense woods do not need a lot of maintenance and have a natural ability to repel rotting, moisture & insects
TRADITIONAL JAPANESE JOINERY
DIAGONAL GOOSE NECK SPLICE "SUMI NIHOU KAMA TSUGI"
THE MORTISE AND TENON JOINT
For the long beams, scarf joint are used to joint long timber beams and rafters. Scarf joint are very strong joints that are able to “lock� 2 individual piece of timber by using a peg in the middle.
For the long post, goose neck splice were used as has a higher strength than the dovetailed splice. In practice, it is used to join larger lumber sections than the preceding splice.
This joint is used because it is resistant to the warping and flexing of the wood as it undergoes acclimation of the surrounding weather condition and moisture
The ultimate strength of the model tested was 2400kg, a significant increase in strength compared to the dovetailed splice.
A mortise and tenon joint, joins two components through the fitting of a 'peg' (the tenon), in a 'hole' (the mortise). The two components are usually perpendicular to each other, although this is not always the case.
MORTISED RABBETED OBLIQUE SCARF JOINT "KANAWA TSUGI"
There are numerous variants, all of which make strong joints due to the mechanical interface and the pair of long grain to long grain glue surfaces present
