Jacqueline Muliawan @ ARCH 1101: My first assignment @ arch1101

Hi.. this is Jacqueline Muliawan's blog for my studies in course arch 1101.

In this blog, I would like to post several images in order to fulfill the requirement of the assignment.

This image below is one of my creative work when I was in Uniprep.

I created this project using a triangular shape, and I also tried using several principles, such as scales, rhythm, focal point, in this model. As everyone can see, all the forms in this model are a triangle or other shapes that have a form similar with triangle. All triangles are prepared in such a way, like in different thicknesses, sizes, angles, etc., so it does not look boring. Moreover, under the hanging triangle there is a unique space, so if this model is really built, everybody could see the road with a beautiful alley. Additionally, to make this model look like a rhythm, a triangle composed of different sizes and angles. Furthermore, if the model is viewed from above, can be seen other principles such as scale, focal point, and this model also indicates a direction. In addition, to have a different pattern for the base, I also try to create their own pattern, although it look easy but it really takes patience.

This is another picture, and in my opinion, this building can be categorized as one of the best architectural design because of its design and environmental friendly system.

Building : Zayed National Museum.

Location : Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi.

I choose this photograph of Zayed National Museum because I am interested with its unique design and chimney thermal system which are built inside. Overall the building is very different from the others, because it is surrounded by pile of soil that can be planted with trees. According to the environment condition nowadays, this building can be categorized environmentally friendly because it takes a lot of spaces, but still has green areas which are almost as large as an area of that building. Besides, the design of this building looks like a seashell or insect wings that makes this building different from the other building which is usually built with block-like shape. One of the other superiority of this building is the use of Thermal Chimney that will reduce the electricity usage in the field of the use of air conditioning. In summary, this building can be classified as an environmentally friendly and were in line with the environment condition nowadays. Currently Zayed National Museum is still under construction in Abu Dhabi.

In my opinion, the third picture below is one of the best beautiful picture which describe the old village.

Location : Bandung, Indonesia.

I choose this photograph because it shows a real figure of an old village where everything still look very natural. As we can see, trees are placed irregularly; the cropping pattern which is made in that area shows that the life was made without damaging the ecosystem. Moreover, the houses are also using a very simple technology; it can be proved from the very simple house construction and follow the irregular contours of the land. In addition, the green farming area also shows the living communities at that area still highly depend on the environment. As well, the figure also explains that water is a major necessity of life for human being and it proved by people prefer to build their houses near the lake than to build in the other areas. In summary, this photo illustrates the real image of life that is still quite natural.
