Understanding The Brief Example of Haiku’s that the public will connect to. There will be a Japanese Performance touring around the city of London. Their specialism is Haiku, which is a Japanese poem consist of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, which evokes the images of the natural world and a medium design to guild us to wisdom and calm, as these terms define the zen buddhist philosophy. The objective is to plant an idea, like a seed, in the mind of the listener. By this, we are given a task to design a performance pavilion, which has the basic needs of encouraging the public to engage with the poet, to listen, and also to give the poet a place to write live poetry which responds to the people around them and the experiences that they have. it is hoped that the act of writing will become a part of the attraction for the public.
Three of the chosen Haiku poems comes from the Buddhist monk and poet Matsuo Basho. His poets evoke and reflect strongly on the two of the most important zen ideals, Wabisabi (侘寂). Wabi (侘) means satisfaction with simplicity and austerity, while Sabi(寂) means an appreciation of the imperfect. It was nature more than anything else that was thought to foster Wabi-sabi (侘寂), and it is, therefore, Basho most frequence topics. The point of his poets is to remind people that what really matters is to be able to be content with our own company and to appreciate the moment we are in.
“sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.” - bashō matsuo “old pond…a frog leaps in water’s sound.” bashō matsuo “Yellow rose petals thunder - a waterfall.” bashō matsuo

Understanding Japanese Timber Construction Craft, Precision, and the simplicity Japanese architecture is admire for its high level of craft, precision, and simplicity. It has a strong sense of complexity, control, and sophistication in it. The Japanese are also famous for their traditional carpentry which has a history of over 1,000 years, this allows them to create furniture and buildings without using any nail, screws, or power tools. this is done through a process of woodworking joints, called joinery. Joinery involves by tightly slotting together carefully selected pieces of timber or lumber that interlock together and produce more complicated items. Joinery does not require materials such as stitching, glue and nails because of the elaborately carved interlocking wooden joints.
6
Traditionally in japan, carpenters are considered architects and home-builders. this means that there is a requirement for master Japanese carpenters to apply advanced technique for large-scale projects, which requires high level of joinery techniques.
Examples of Traditional Japanese Joinery This method of Japanese joinery is incredibly durable, tough, flexible, visually appealing and material efficient.

The freedom of movement, different levels and the amount of different uses and activity that the pavilion contains brings people together and engage everyone in an activity.
The enclosure and the vast amount of different timber joins and the simplicity of the materials, shape and idea, really does brings character to the structure, making it respectable and powerful and stand out.

The space is very controlled, powerful, precise, and something to be highly admired for its high level of crafts and skills.
The different sets of floor levels, separate the activity that happens in the area of the building. the transparency of the walls giving it a glimpse of curiosity and by that would attract people to the building.

Concept Modeling and 3D Concept Modeling Photographs of concept models Looking at potential design ideas and exploring whats possible using the beams. creating a character of the chosen material and giving it a personality and making it important and related to the concept of the word Wabi-sabi (äž˜ĺŻ‚). Four different models design exploring the different use of the level, units, platforms and the sort of activity that involves each one of them. meeting the requirement of the basic needs, to encourage the public to listen to the poet and to allow the poet to have the freedom of movement around the pavilion as he wishes.
10
Different ways of positioning the pavilions. Exploring the circulation of the space and how people move around, where the poet will position as well as the audience. The whole idea is that the poet him or herself have the freedom to move around the pavilion without having any limitation what so ever. to engage with the audience and to make the whole atmosphere to feel less intimidating, pressuring and uncomfortable for both the poet and the audience.

Outside the Tate Modern, London
Victoria and Albert Museum, london
Tate Modern attracts all sorts of audiences all around the UK and the world. The Art gallery exhibits contemporary arts, so therefore it would blend in very well together with the pavilion.
Victoria and Albert Museum is popular to tourist from all around the world who are coming to visit London. It is also the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design. It attracts all sorts of ages as well.
Inside the Turbine Hall, Tate Modern, London Inside the Tate Modern Is fairly quiet and not as busy around the back of the turbine hall. Locating the pavilion there would attract only the curious.

Understanding The Brief A brief introduction to the hotel project A new build hotel is being built in London, Developers and Architects have worked for many years to find a site, arrange the multi-million pound budget, work up architectural plans that meet with the local authorities planning guidelines. They now have an approved design which sets out all of the general principles, the building size and orientation, the organisation of internal routes, lifts (elevators) stairways and passages, the planning for the provision of services to heat, cool and power the building, the ‘back of house’ consideration of how the staff will operate the day to day running, the sizing of the restaurant facilities and of course the size and quantity of the bedrooms.
The objective is to reconsider the internal layout of the standard room – the way the bathroom is positioned and designed, the provision and position of key furniture like the bed, desk, chair, luggage rack, clothes hanging etc. Bedroom Size: 7850mm x 3100mm with a ceiling height of 2400mm The rooms will rent out at around £250 a night full rate, with reductions for multiple days booked and weekend special rates. The general style of the hotel is summed up as “contemporary city, energy and sophistication”.
They are now asking to design these bedrooms. The planning permission information (Design Access Statement) shows the bedrooms as a rather boring traditional layout of furniture with no idea as to the character and personality of the room.

The dark colour scheme makes the atmopshere feel poweful and intense. The material makes the interior feel luxurious, the furnitures blends in together with in walls making it work as a team.
The curvature of the hotel room makes It look contemporary and modern. The chrome furniture and the use of marble make the hotel feel luxurious. The layout of the hotel room makes good use of the over-all space and the room has all the features that are necessary for a hotel room.

Understanding The Brief Summarizing the brief and explaining the key issues The client, Melting Point, wants to create a ‘Starter Studio’ for contemporary craft in a two storey building in Islington’s Upper Street. The people whom will be living there are young craftsperson/maker, that are fresh out of university. They will be living there, make and sell their work, and in doing so promote a positive lifestyle of creativity and craft. Most importantly, Melting Point wants the public to engage with the maker, to visit the space and see not just how things are made but how they might benefit from individually made, creatively inspired objects in their own lives.
Crafts Council Link: http://www.craftscouncil.org.uk The space should contain the following: - Gallery/Exhibition - Workshop - Public Bathroom - Meeting Space - Living Room - Kitchen - Private Bathroom - Bedroom
The client wants to help young craftspeople/ makers to connect with the public and in doing so to allow the public to appreciate and learn from a creative lifestyle.

Understanding The Site Site Location: Islington’s Upper Street, London N1 0PB The existing building is a burger place, called Bryon. The company likes to strip of the building materials until there is nothing left but just the raw bits. This is because the company wants to make it feel like the food are the main importance, rather than the interior having to dominate the experience for the customers.

Design Development 2D & 3D Relationship | Bubble Diagrams and Site Zoning Main flow activity happens between the shop/ gallery and the workspace. there will be a public toilet located at the back of the building on ground floor which allows the customer to pass through the shop/gallery. whilse being in the gallery they will also see what its happening in the workspace because of the openness of the design. The meeting room is located on the upper floor where drinks and other breverlage will be served easierly because there will be a kitchen.
The gallery continues from bottom to top. there will be two doors within the building. one main door and one private door for the person who currerntly lives there. For this zoning I’ve looked into the public and private aspect of the building. There are three different zoning colours. Public Assess, such as the public toilet, workshop, and exhibition. Circulation and the main flow of movement around the building, and lastly the private, such as the bedroom, private toilet, and storages.
Focusing more on the public area, and how portentially having more of a public assess on the second floor of the building so that they can explore the whole building.

Research Case Studies Contemporary Work Spaces
Goroka office - Barcelona Fig 1 Goroka, an audiovisual creative producer, have opened their headquarters in the Poblenou district of Barcelona. They wanted their new HQ to be a place you want to come to work. a unique space, a space that stepped outside the boundaries of traditional, corporate, office design. A space that felt more like a study than a humdrum office. (Fig 1) The Goroka office breaks the boundary of the typical spaces by creating a workspace that is open and that move people, and by that it creates a chance to encounter and interact between other workers and sharing the knowledge between them to improve performance.1 The nature of the space the materials and the colours creates an atmosphere that is welcoming and comfortable stay/work which feels less of a prison and because of that it also help avoids a slew of other distraction outside of the office. It creates a stronger collaborations, knowledge transfer and a stronger engagement with other team members. What’s really interesting about the space is the single element structure that projects into space. A large, white architectural cube that houses the meeting room. (Fig 2) it’s the only closed space in the great hall, which deftly separates the work area from the management area. The space single elements structure creating a balance of the word “we and me” people need to focus alone or in pairs to generate ideas or process information; then they come together as a group to build on those ideas or develop a shared point of view; then break apart again to take the next step.2 The office understand the importance of defining different units in the work environment by having those single element structures offering a sense of enclosure and exposure. The architects have emphasised the industrial nature of the space but they’ve kept it light and inviting by painting the interior pure white. (Fig 3) The existing timber floor was polished up and given a layer of extra matt lacquer to it a warmth whilst still remaining the building’s history. (Fig 4) which adds another highlight to the office is the room colours and warmth and how they create a certain atmosphere, giving an effect on our moods and activities that happens in the space. It evokes both physical and emotional response to ourselves. By keeping the colour simple and minimal it works for everyone and it is easily adaptable which gives out the ability to affect productivity, this is because The human brain reacts positively to simplicity and performs best in a tidier environment. Multiple studies link clutter and darkness to anxiety, which is not conducive to a productive workplace.3

NeueHouse - New York Fig 5 NeueHouse is a shared workspace concept designed and made for entrepreneurs in high growth, creative industries including design, tech, fashion, entertainment, publishing, art and communication. The space has open, flexible facility designed to enable members to collaborate with their own teams or with other entrepreneurs. (Fig 1) This creates a chance to socialize. Workplace burnout is caused by a lack of break in routine, a toxic or misaligned company culture, and/or creative stagnation.1 By keeping the work environment atmosphere fresh the office encourage colleagues and staff to take regular breaks, converse, and meet new people outside of their department. (Fig 2) The space achieved that by having a social climate such as having an space open with flexibility and spontaneity built into each floor, the design makes accidental encounters to happen.2 Because of this the design took in the consideration and the important of collaborating with other team members and other clients in the workforce. Creating a stronger business. It is important to work as a team and collaborate with other team members in the office, connecting with clients and entrepreneur. Collaboration in the workforce is a sign of effective team as it harnesses the best out of two or more individuals together. Efficiency is an essential part of a team an important aspect of the workspace. Teamwork leads to better problem solving, seeing the bigger picture, break down barriers, aggregate, adapt and most importantly share ideas.3
Fig 6
The space is also designed to accommodate screenings, lectures and workshops. (Fig 3) NeueHouse program hosts weekly cultural events which the rooms them become conversation starters. Because of this collaboration, the workspaces see results by putting minds together, team members share wealth of information and combine their insights in myriad ways. In this situation, the sum is almost always greater than its parts.4

Catena Media Office - Belgrade The curved glass office walls, complete with waist-high, black steel saches really do look like test tubes. (Fig 1) one might be mistaken for thinking you’ve entered a scientific lab, however Catena Media is in fact of Serbia’s top igaming companies. The designer at Autori wanted to mirror the type of adventure a gamer experiences. The atmosphere feels young and fresh with a sense of playfulness all around the workspace. This effect can lead to a boost of productivity and make work happen faster, it can also leads to a creative thinking process , lower stress rate and it helps motivate work force. The sense of work hard, play harder. A quote by Dr Stuart Brown, founder of the National Institute for Play says “There is a good evidence that if you allow employees to engage in something they want to do, (which) is playful, there are better outcomes in terms of productivity and motivation.”1 By this quote we learn that playing at work is not nessesary a distraction or inapproapriate, however just taking a moment to think about it, what if what we thought work could benefit from play? what if, the opposite of play isn’t work, but rather boredom?2 In his book, Play, the author and psychiatrist Stuart Brown, MD compares play to oxygen. He writes “...It’s all around us, yet goes mostly unnoticed or unappreciated until it is missing.”3 it shows up in our lifes through games, art, books sport, movies, music, comedy, firting, talking and even daydreaming. Most consultants nowadays are using games and out of the box activities to bring play into the workplace. When learning is fun, employees are more inclined to remember what they learned and use it.4 The space achieved that by having obstacles and creative use of furnitures to engage people in. (Fig 2) Play can also lower your stress levels, boost your optimism, and increase your motivation to move up in a company and improve concentration and perseverance. “The space is designed so that every employee has their own working and relaxing zone. The result is an office which is just like a game, full of tricks, obstacles, fun features, secret parts and surprises. This is how the spirit of the igaming industry is transposed to the elements and the way the space is used,” said the architects. The architect understand the important of creating spontaneous encounters within the work environment. (Fig 3) This engages the creative side of your brain, when you’re feeling engaged in play, you lose some of your psychological barriers and stop censoring or editing your thoughts. This allows creative ideas to flow more freely5 This allows them to take more creative risks, because in an environment where you won’t be judge, the employee would feel more security and comfortable.

Conclusion The three case studies highlight the importance of collaborations in the work environment and how it benefits the business in terms of productivity as well as how team-work and gathering ideas is an essential part of the success of a company’s growth, and also how they interact with each other, generating, sharing ideas and knowledge and support one an another.
