This project consists of two major stages 2a: Interim ‘The Shell’ which we (group) will design the life capsule envelope and Project 2b: Final ‘Furnitecture’ wherein we (group) will creatively design the internal space of the capsule or a can be one multi-functional furniture to address users various positions (seating, lying down, reading, painting and others) which will be corresponding to its activities.

The Life Capsule should not exceed 8.0cu/mts and must use fitting techniques and ‘ glue less’ construction as it will be exhibited outdoors. We will need to submit a 1:1 model installation & assembly, 2 A2 presentation boards with drawings and model assembly diagram and 1 A2 poster board that fit concept of the Life Capsule.

This project consists 2 part which is design exploration (Interim Submission) and the second is Project 3- Final project submission & presentation. We are required to design a hideout for a dream client. The hideout is located 5.0m between two buildings with 3.0m from the ground and we will need to maintain the alley. The hideout should not exceed 70% of the site and the maximum height for the hideout is 7.0m.

The ideas/ concept of the hideout should be generate from the understanding of the dream client. We will need to submit 3 A2 presentation boards that covers all the architectural drawings, 1 A2 narrative board and a 1:50 model shows both interior and exterior that sit on the site.

We are required to generate ideas from selfidentity through personal interests, preferences, attitude and personality. These ideas and qualities will later on applied to any three dimensional form (as an artwork or sculpture, mask & other means). Representation of self must only be interpreted in abstract form where in it requires rigorous design thinking and highest form of creatively representing ourself.

We will need to submit an abstract model within 3000x3000x3000mm and 1 A2 panel presentation board.
