Step 1: My Chosen Object

Every interior space around you are designed thoughtfully from the designer. From a retail space, a house to a museum, they actually comes with a long process. As an Interior Architecture student, we are trained to provide comfortable and athletic spaces for the client. Before designing a space, we research its site and analysis the function and purposes to propose the suitable structure apply with the right material, lighting and decoration. 

My chosen object is something that related strongly to my discipline. It is not only a fundamental of architecture, but also something we learn, analysis and work with before designing the space. 

The first object I choose was a lightbulb. Lighting and materiality are the most important elements of forming an interior space. Without the illuminations, non of the structure and details will be seen. Moreover, a successful lighting design endows emotion and atmosphere to the space. Different types and brightness of the illumination deliver different kinds of living experiences. 

                                             

Due to the difficulty of making a 3d scan, I decide to change my object (see the experimentation in next article). 

My second chosen object is a brick. "Essential is greater than the circumstantial", said Louis Kahn. Knowing the essential of building, the nature of the material is necessary before design and constructing the architecture. People who walk into the space might draw his eye on the colour and decoration, but as an architect or a designer, we produce the space from stacking bricks and shaping the structure. 

The reason to break the brick and only using half of it is to get interesting curve from the block that challenges the making.
