Nadia is not taking 3DsMax this semester. i'll pass the msg on to her concerning the pin up time on Mon.

Interim Crit No.2 on Monday 25.9.06

This is to vary the arrangement I posted on 17/9/06. All pinup must be up by the revised time of 1300hr. After a short viewing by all, I will then proceed to do the general crit and group discussion.

But my studio time for that day will be from 1100hr to 1500hr. PLEASE NOTE.

Therefore I would like the Wednesday 3DsMmax group to try to pin up by 1100hr, or as soon as possible from that time to 1300hr. I will give individual crits to those who have pinned up as soon as they have pinned up. This will save us time.

The Monday 3DsMax group will get their individual crits after the General Crit with whatever time remaining till 1500hr. We will continue on Wednesday if we don't cover everybody by 1500hr.

As for the deliverables (what you will show) on Monday's pinup... The important thing is to have given serious thought to how you have arranged the different spaces that go to make up this composition of space that becomes the kindergarten---a place that really works well for the kids in which to play, learn, explore; the directoresses to guide, supervise and prepare; visitors to observe without intruding, to wait comfortably and be channeled through the building. The spaces have their own characters and should relate to each other according to a heirarchy of need---"Must relate", or "may relate", or "no need to relate".

And just as important is how your spaces relate to the character of the site and it's surroundings. Remember your building is in Malaysia, not Japan or Germany or New Zealand...or...

Floor plans, roof plans, sections and models with the site shown are essential tools to explain your scheme. They don't have to be perfect but they must show your thinking effectively. Elevations are not absolutely necessary.

Interim Crits

I will be joining Sherrina and Ms Kwok on Monday 18 Sept to crit Ms Kwok's group from 1-3 pm. You are all welcome to sit in (and see us fry them?)

I will therefore have to amend our tutorial schedule. Our Interim Crit No.2 will be shifted to Monday 25 Sept. Please pin up by 1315hr and spend the next 15 mins studying each other's work. I will be doing the same, so do NOT be late pinning up! My general crit will commence at 1330hr.

As for individual crits leading up to that, I have already met with 3 pax---Jufri, Khai Ling and Audy. All the others please book your 20min. slots here, stretched over Monday from 1520 to 1700 (5 pax) and Wednesday 1300 t0 1700 (9 pax, 2 extra slots & 1 slot for my break somewhere in the middle of it all.) The 2 extra slots are for anyone who needs another round before Interim Crit No.2.

Please book now and keep to your time--to be fair to your colleagues as we all need to plan our time well and cut down on waiting time. The first person to book here please make a neat schedule which others can block-and-copy and repost with their own insertion (unless you can think of a better way.)

studio layout outcomes

Oh wow! I didn't know there could be so many different ways to lay out such a small space! Well done, All!

All of them are workable (although some are obviously more workable than others.) Even those that appear silly at first are, after some study, not silly at all---when you begin to see the pattern and thought that the designer has put into the design.

At first I thought we'd just pick the top three most popular, but I have a better idea now. Everybody pick their own 3 favourites and post here. (Every favourite mentioned earns one point.) At 2200hr tonight Esther please count the points and post the Result List of designs from most points downwards. Everybody must vote.

First thing you guys get in tomorrow arrange the studio according to the most popular design. On Wednesday change to design no.2. And so on down the list, down the weeks. You'll get a new experience every studio session! And each designer gets an idea of how their work translates into reality.

Please print an A4 copy of your layout for my file tomorrow.

this is my layout. basically i had located ian's table and site model in the middle of the studio. both ian's table and site model will be surrounded with our table this is because when we need to get any reference from our site or ian, we will be able to do it easily. 

layout

bernardngo's layout.
15 tables, 15 chairs

 

studio layout

ok.. so this is the layout.. the reason i arrange them like tat coz of the sun orientation + the position of the white board. the natural sunlight can be brought in to the class and lighten up everyone's table. so tats the reason why i position them tat way. 2ndly, the white board. i position it by not aligning them in a straight line so tat while Ian or some one presenting infront. everyone will have a good view at him. the yellow table will be ian's . where as the red will be for the rest of us. ok.. gtg.. hope u like my layout.. *sarx when ur comp get toasted*

Layout

The tables are arranged in a traditional way like a classroom so that everyone can see the whiteboard during lecture. Everyone will have a seat and the first or second row ppl need to share their table with extra one person added into the row. During crit section, or when Ian need a seat, ppl from both row need to do so. Note the space for second row is wider for accessibility.

During presentation or other activities, tables will b gatherd at the centre without moving the first row as the reference for the other tables.At the same time,everyone will have enough space to walk here and there .....done.

studio layout

ok..well, in my layout, ian's in front of the class and conveniently close to the white board. the rest is basically straightforward. presentations can take place in front of the class. the site model is also accessible. the presentation board on wheels can be put in the corner opposite ian's desk next to the HVAC exhaust room (if thats what it is..) : )

STUDIO 2006

Yay! My turn!

So far, I must say, GOOD JOB GUYS! Ugh, I had trouble fitting all 17 tables in and estimating the walking space and chair space. Here goes!

Ok let me explain Ian's table first. Since you're the lecturer, you should get a table of your own. so you're the loner here :p but next to the whiteboard, and sufficient walking/ dancing/ body expression or whatever-you'd-do space. easy access mah :)

I wanted to create some sort of harmonious movement, though haha i think i'm overdoing it since it's just for a studio. But the arrangement is done in a way that interaction can take place easily though!! Okay, accept the two at the end of the studio. Like Khai Ling said, detention tables for the late comers. haha! Anyway, I've used 0.5m as walking space (should be enough right?) and 1m for chair space. Though students might probably use less than that, the space comes in handy when Ian wants to come check up on us. Which also means, walking space lah! :)

Hokay that's about it.

stutio plan

Same in our studio, there are only 15 chairs and tables in my plan.. As Khai Ling said, probably some of us may need to share.. I'm concerning the spaces between each of us. We need to move around.. So to Ian need to move freely when lecture in front of whiteboard. :)

studio layout

Things are beginning to get exciting here!
The sharp corner looks odd. Something wrong there?

studio2006taylors tables n chair setup

to fit more than 17 of us...students are put in their groups so they can discuss easily whenever they need to.Ian got a table and a chair. we also have 2 more tales to exhibit our models or our site model.

design for studio

identify yourself

Whose emails are jiaojiao and illusionann? Please identify yourself or I'll have to take you off the Pending list. Been there too long.

my design layout for the studio

two persons, usually the late comers will have to share tables with others as a punishment for being late...haha just joking...but the area is quite small..so i decide not to put a lot of tables inside as it will look pack in the end...the layout looks like its in the formal meeting...all the students will get to focus on the lecture wich will be give by mr ian....and with this layout...they'll get to communicate with each other...

Help!!

Does someone have the right dimension for the layout of our studio?
Can please post one in the blog? Thanksss...
Coz i think the dimension that i have here is a bit weird~~

Studio Layout Project

I'm posting although I said I wouldn't because someone asked if marks will be awarded for this project.

This is like the writing test: It will swing my judgement in awarding marks for the Kindergarten Project. The basis is this: If you can't design a layout of furniture in one single room with limited constraints then you will find enormous difficulties in setting out an entire kindergarten with so many different user-demands! This little recess-project is a mere brainteaser to get you going. And it's more real than the Kindy because you are going to live in it for the rest of the semester!

Post ONE plan at 1:50 with all the existing furniture (no more no less) laid out in a creative and practical way.

The plan must be accurate. The Studio should be measured to the nearest cm. Show room dimensions. Everybody must have a place, including I.

Deadline is Saturday 9 Sept 2100hr (Note change in deadline.) We will then vote the winner(s). Have fun!

Site Analysis and Case Study

Re: Presentation and Submission of Site Analysis and Case Study, Wednesday 6 Sept.

To reiterate, the requirements are: One A1 sheet for the Analysis and between one and two A1 sheets for the Study. There is no advantage in submitting 2 sheets if your study can go into 1 sheet. Each student is to submit individual (and not group) outcomes.

You are to use no more than 20 different words for your Analysis (excluding your name and project title.) "It", "a", "is", "and", etc. are all considered words in the word count.

There is no word limit for the Study, but long essays are not recommended. Go for clear main points.

SITE ANALYSIS: Put it together in your own original way with content that you feel will affect your design. Think in terms of factors influencing the site from all around. And think in terms of the characteristics of the site that you will need to address in coming up with your design.

CASE STUDY: Present the main unique points about the Montessori Theory and how they were applied in, or not applied in, or modified for, Rainbow Montessori Kindergarten. And highlight the things that impressed you with that Kindy, things that you are now consciously going to address in your design.

Pin up BY 1315HR ON WEDNESDAY. You will be required to make verbal presentations to me in pairs starting at 1330. We shall work out a schedule to allow about 15mins per pair. You may choose your own partner. Pin up side by side.
