Changed the flow of the programming to allow better user experience throughout the spaces: Harp of Heart and Song of Soul become public spaces on Ground Floor instead of Interactive Zones & Soothe and Suit

The design narratives helped to spark off ideas of creating the experiences in the site that are categorized into general public calming, introduction to music healing and private therapy by having 2-3 programming on each floor to avoid sound dissonance

This is a teaser overview of the curvilinear design language that are visualized in each programming, with the front views shown on the left and isometric views shown on the right

1- Harp of Heart 2- Song of the Soul 3- Interactive Zones 4- Deja Vu 5- Soothe & Suit 6- Frequency Capsule 7- Fathom of Musica

Keywords used in each space to imply the concepts metaphorically, namely Nature, Water, Touch, Art, Wine Glass, Vibrations & Music

The space insights showcase sneak peaks of the interior design elements formed at this design brainstorming phase

ASSIGNMENT 3 DESIGN COMPONENT

When brainstorming for the topic, it was honestly a struggle as I had to go back and forth thinking what interest could be my strength to hold on for a year's project and lastly I picked music and sounds because they are the most vital support when I am feeling down. This assignment has given me a lot of ups and downs in figuring out the researches, narratives, information, board layout etc and it was through multiple trials that I was able to make it till the end. Here, I'd like to thank Mr. Vickram for guiding me in sorting out those inspirations to make all these happened.

In assignment 2, the previous project has really inspired for a lot of ideas and I began my proposal with 12 or more programming ideas initially. However, taking considerations of the sound acoustics properties and such, Ms. Suzy has given a great advice in cutting down unnecessary programming and rearrange the flow of spaces in my site to create a better experience for the visitors. Here, I experimented with lots of forms and played with the curvilinear design language that best symbolize the core of my project, Sound Phenomenology.

At the final stage, I have chosen 'Harp of Heart' as the design component that I'd like to get my creative juices going without a second doubt because nature is certainly God's gift to humankinds that we tend to depreciate nowadays. Hence, I felt motivated creating a bridge between nature and city dwellers using music and sounds as the medium to reconnect us with mother Earth and experience the healing and therapeutic effects. Last but not least, I hope these developments would be a helping hand for my next semester's direction in design.
