The underground cylinder space giving people the sense of secret. Various layers of underground space providing different space for differ-ent activity.

In the middle of the cylinder there is skylight at every layer of floor.

Different Funtion Within the Fram and Infill modele.

The folding structure de-signed as the area where people could lie in and relax.

The folded paper designed as the walking path.

The mass within the struc-ture is the shelted space for people to habitate.

Folded paper place within the fram seperated the space. Created some pri-vate space.

3.2 CONCEPT AND SKETCH DESIGN

In terms of my conceptual model, I used two cylinders to express the light and the darkness. Light, the smaller transpar-ency cylinder been fit within the bigger black cylinder which indicated darkness. There are also two different size but same form of strings stick on the surface of the cylinders. The group of cylinders aim to place underground. When people go-ing through the steps on the surface of cylinder wall, they can see the light come through the skylight which created a light cylinder. The string hanged in the middle of the light cylinder just like the form of the ladder. It actually like a tiny world within a small world.

The design brief I developed for this project is introspec-tion. I want to create a space that stimulate people to introspect, also is a contemplation place. I aimed to use desire inside people which is knowing secrete to attract people experience the underground space. Secrete of the light is darkness, nonetheless it is an unheeded fact. If there is no darkness in this world, then the word ‘light’ would not appear. When people experiencing the dark-ness, the most attractive and untouchable thing is light. People want to touch the light, understand the secret of the light. Nonetheless they did not know that they al-ready within the secret of the light. I want to use the ele-ment, light, to stimulate people to do the introspection. If I use metaphor, I would say, light is an attractive cage. People want to be in the cage, but they need to intro-spect that if they already within a cage - darkness.

Model making processing, develop the form during the model making process. Use the high density form as the base, and then use the spray paint to colour it.

3.5 FINAL DESIGN MODEL

25

The introspection is my concept. It is about the moment you look back your life. It is not only the place for you to do the introspection, but also somewhere you could go and release your past. It also is somewhere you could escape.

The small cylinder hang at the ceiling is the recording room where you can record your past story. Anytime you could come back and play the recording you saved.

4.0 REFLECTION

During design process of this object, I relised I should dig in my concept deeper. The final project I designed still not strong enough to relate with my object. Drawing is not strength, especially when I develop my form. I found the best way for me to develop form is model making. I should improve my hand making skill to reduce my time of model making. Also I should teach myself to make efficient sketch model. Develop a form straight way from the concept is very hard, but I should learn to dig in my concept from different aspect.
