Brutal

 Sorry for the recent MIA, this post should have been done weeks ago but I've been 24hr drama-ing all this while, my apologies. But I got to say, City Hunter is a must watch guys! *super serious face and tone* 

Hot no? xD

Back to the topic. So, BRUTAL, was the concept for my final project, where we're assigned to design a grafted personal space for a specific client at a chosen site along the very riuh-rendah Jln Petaling. (Do excuse my sudden BM usage~ My BM nerve just got stimulated for a sec back then~ heh) So after 2 days of life-risking-touring around Jln Petaling (acid splasher remember? ><) I've chosen this corner to be used as my site for my client, Mr Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Starring at site hardly trying to get design inspirations.

At one glance, it doesn't seem like an interesting site huh? But this is what I liked about it. The dull and boring atmosphere here, the tall and plain wall. After starring at it for, I cant remember how long, I knew that I wanted to grow something out of that wall. Yes, grow. I wanted my design to seem like a space that grew out from that wall, not just a space that is designed without having any relation to the site. So off I went to do more research, brainstorming, mind mapping and of course, sketching.

So TADA, the final product :)

Presentation :)

 

By BRUTAL I didn't mean violence, bloody scenes or whatsoever. I meant cold, rough, which actually reflects the first impression people have towards the site and of course my client. I portrayed it in design elements such as:
- cold inhuman exterior
- simple arrangements of planes to create openings
- openings which manipulates the light and shadow to create different atmosphere in different spaces
- usage of materials in their very raw state to enhance the roughness of the design.


Here up some shots of the light and shadow in the interior x)
