Phase 01

Constructing Possibilities

Tutors : Aishah Mokhtar & Dr. Vickram Thevar

Phase 01 encouragestudents to express their discoveries through methods such as speculativedrawings, photography,films,lyrics, poemsand shortstories.

1. Can the scenario be wearable mechanics?

2. Can it be shown through performative experience?

3. Can it be represented through 'spatial stories' inspired by conversation?

4. Can it be appreciated through a motion visual diary?

5. Could this be depicted through a big poster/art/drawing?

6. Can the activities/movement makes the walls of the landscape?

Ipoh Site Excursion

The adaptationof characteristics of Malaysianarchitecturecan be found in the design of the heritagebuildings in Malaysia. The shophouse for instead, was made of brick or concrete and constructeddirectly on the ground, have interior courtyards, and various architecturalstyles of the facade got influenced by the local and foreign architecture. All the criteria are combined toform a unique architecturaldesign and series of evolution that reflects the diversity of culturalinfluences and society in Malaysia. The evolution or transitionalchanges of design arepartof the process ofadaptationof climates,localcultural,economicdemands,fashioninfluence and introduction ofnew technologies

Ipoh Site Excursion Trip April, 2022

Narration Through Fabric

I my observation during the siteexcursion really fascinated by the patternand textures that I found in Ipoh, Istarted to draw them digitallyand combined themtotell astory through on

Phase 02

Architectural Instruments

Through unveiling the chosennarrative in Phase1,Istarted to composed an alternativescenarios through responding tothe architecturalfabrics, attending tothe places and capturingglimpses of the landscape.

Based on my personalizedPhase1scenario/interestwe were required to construct an ARCHITECTURAL INSTRUMENT of the proposedpossibilities throughthe means of games/mechanics/devices.

The instrument will respond to yourPhase1 and itwill need to be a FUNCTIONAL device for people to interact/play/configure in order to understand the composedpossibilities ofour project.

Apparatus Concept

Im quite interested in art installation and would love to experiment more.I findfabric printing could bequite expressive andpoetic in a way It could be a way of me narrating my experience in Ipohthrough patternand textures printing.I then created my own curated digitalprinting through photo manipulation technique andprinted them on asilkscarf.

Trying outand experimenting with different possibilities forthefabric structure.Astructure that could really compliment the characteristic of the fabric

Istarted to work on the structure detailing.I want my structure to be easy to assemble anddurableat the same time soI decided to includesome joineriesinto the design.

Phase 03

Glimpses of Spatial Landscape

Assignment3 is thefinal alchemy ofall characteristics developed from Phase1&2 and itis the stage where of the spatial land-scape/principles to be represented. go through our selectionsite/building in Ipoh and choosea or series of spaces to beelaborated through spatialrepresentation. The spatiallandscapeshouldreflect the theme/narrative havedeveloped andbe represented through whimsical,social, economical,speculative,political andpoetic expression.

Project Name: Ministry Of Bath

Takinga bath is asimpleluxury and alost art. The ritual hasbeen used for healthand relaxationsinceancient Today,arelaxing bath is asimplepleasurestill worth for It is said that bathing connects mind and body,revives senses, and invigorates the soul.Ministry of Bath is inspired Turkish Bath of Damascus, this steamyheaven onearth users the experience to just relax and takea bath It fabulous scrubs,infusions, and aromaticsdiffuserspread that givesusers thefull rejuvenatingexperience from Havingsomethingrefreshing to sip within reach will enhanceyour soakingexperience and keepyou well hydrated.Asitting users is locatednext tothe batharea where userscouldhave somerefreshments after they have done takinga bath few bathareas provided in this spacesuch as Hammamwhereitis open for publicorpeople who came in a larger groupand someprivacy,a bathtub is located at the upper level fabricthat acts aspartition.

‘Tranquility’

Hammam

This treatment makesitselfknown around the world for being a relaxing and cleansingMoroccan ritual that is centuries old Hammam differs slightly fromthe traditionalthermal spa. While both areprofoundly relaxing andgood forthe skin, rather than using thermal waters, hammam treatments use hot steam to encouragea deepand invigorating cleanse. Many hammam treatments alsousevitamin-Erich, olive-basedsoapknown for its skinnourishing and exfoliating properties.Additionally,some treatments may includerhassoul clay, an antibacterial mineral that effectively and safelyremoves toxins and impurities fromthe body, reducessebum and tightens pores

Semester : 07

Phase 01

Constructing Final Elements

Tutors : Aishah Mokhtar & Dr. Vickram Thevar

Following up from previoussemester, we continueconstructing the final design elements throughoutthe chosensite. Series of spatial exploration will bedone in multiple spaces in the chosensite to elaborate the designexpression.

Phase 02

Tectonics Appreciation

Mechanics and interactive apparatusas exploration onbuilt mechanics/instruments to enhance the curatedinteractive experience.

This curatedcomponent is designed asan interactiveinstallation that celebrates the artof making fabric. It comes in different instruments.Eachinstrumentservesa different purpose. Gold brassstructurecomes with rotatable wheels that hangs the fabrics makesusersinteract with the installationso they couldobserve the fabric whileits drying

It is tunedtothe notesof the sevenchakras and itis said to help releasetension in the bodyand stimulates the glandular and nervoussystem. The pincer is astandingstructuresurrounding the component that holds thethreads and reacts with the change of tensions of thethreads

ENHANCINGSTORYTELLING

During this phase,students are involved in one tuningthe chosennarrative and come up with adesignstrategy/planning onhow to exhibit the design physically. This includes planningofdrawings representation method/ sensoryinstrument/ built installation/etc.

Phase 03 & 04

Final Exhibition & Creative Production

Fabric Making Storytelling Machine

This 1:1scaleinstallation is anelaborationof my design intention of fabric makingtectonics.userscould hang theirfabric on the adjustablepincers.Acrylic light bulbs are attached on the pipes to illuminate thefabric and the structurealsocomes with singing bowls
