FOLIE Development 1

OBJECTIVES:
1. To design a Folie that help people to LEARN
2. Fit for 2 people
3. Sized 5mx5mx5m


DEFINITION OF LEARNING
1. The acquisition of Knowledge or Skills through experience, practice, study or being taught - google.com
2. Knowledge acquired by some way - google.com

MY DEFINITION OF LEARNING
  

not sure whether Abstraction or Metaphorical - need help on this, dear tutors :)

LEARNING OF SHAPE(S)
Shapes could be the thing that makes people curious. Because shapes are eternity and have unlimited development and possibilities. Shapes are playable. Between basic shapes, you can create your own shapes. Yet, shapes are our friend since childhood. Introduced in pre-school. It has programmed in our mind.

FUTURE LEARNING SPACE
Future Learning Space is when the space itself is learn-able / giving knowledge or curiosity

CONTEXT
I found that the site location is very suitable with this folie, because it located between 4 suburbs and 1 CBD so anyone can visit. Also, the experience of perceiving and feeling the shapes is not limited by ages or background. Anyone, from youngsters, teenagers, businessman, student, can join and feel the innocence in feeling shapes with their senses.

Suitable located near the water since it can gives chill, comfort feeling and many options of amazing view.

FUNCTION
1. People just come to the Folie and do what they want
2. But mostly people will perceive the space and the shapes with their own senses, because they will amaze with the combination between shapes and how I play with their minds and imagination. They will walk, take photos, go upstairs, have great time with their relatives, and enjoying the surroundings.
3. This Folie will visible from many directions around HSW. Thus it has unique facade. 

TECTONICS
1. Core materials: Steel / Concrete (firm) 
2. Inside materials: Combination between Steel, Concrete and Wood (mix between hard & soft)
3. Anchored: Weld
4. Assembled: Each story put together 

EXPERIENCE 
1. People will see combination between shapes, materials and visual qualities.
2. I also put some attraction with light illusion combined with the shapes either on the facade, base and inside the space. 
3. Not only inside the space, the shapes combination also can be seen from a distance (surrounding of HSW) and each angle will resulting different view as well. 

SHAPE RULES/SHAPE GRAMMAR 
In order to create space that perceived as shapes, I use the method Shape Rules & Shape Grammar which will produces combination, permutation and possibilities between basic shapes in order to create unique facade.

Experiments using Shape Rules/Grammar for the Base (Plan). The blacked part is the original shape.

Same experiment but for the Elevation (Facade). Combining between several shapes to produce other possibilities of shapes.

Later on, those combinations will be combined (between Base and Elevation) on 3D Model application, to see which one will suite best with the concept, context, function, tectonic, experience and other qualities. Modification will be done if needed. Yet, the final ideas could not be determined since it still needs further development in the concept and initial ideas.
