FORM MANIPULATION & SPATIAL DESIGN
Our lecturer and tutor had assigned us with a interesting final assignment. In this assignment, students are required to watch a movie, "Inside Out", which is about human's emotions. There are total five emotions which are anger, disgust, fear, joy and sadness played in this movie and students are required to analyze and understand well of their own character/client based on the character/client given by our tutor. Then, students are to create a narrative on embracing and overcoming client's emotions, identifying their personalities so as characteristics, roles/goals of the client, likes and dislikes, proposing spaces in bubble diagram form with justification in order to develop our models. After that, students are also to build two neutral palette mockup models with the measurement of 7.5cm(L)x7.5cm(W)x15cm(H) in the scale of 1:200 and to produce either elevation/section drawings and axonometric drawings. In this mockup models, students are required to further development their models according to their assigned character/client. Lastly, students are able to develop final model from mockup models with the measurement of 15cm(L)x15cm(W)x30cm(H) in the scale of 1:100 and also to produce 2 manual drawings of A2 presentation board with at least either elevation/section drawings and axonometric drawings so as upload their compilation of weekly progress. On the final exam week, students are required to give a short presentation on final model to showcase their models to the panels/reviewer.
UNDERSTANDING CHARACTER/CLIENT
My assigned character/client is Anger. When I was being assigned with this character, I was very excited due to his characteristic and personalities is reflecting similar to me. Therefore, it is a fun start by kicking off this assignment. I have watched the movie, "Inside Out" as soon as we got our assignment in order to have a better understanding on my character. Moreover, I have also done some research on anger to utilize information in order to give me more input of my model making later.
PROPOSE SPACES FOR CHARACTER/CLIENT WITH JUSTIFICATION
I have proposed my spaces for my client based on his characteristics and personalities which are indoor and outdoor gym, isolation area and swimming area. Indoor and outdoor gym is him embracing his anger by letting out his anger through violent actions while isolation area is him embracing and try to overcome his anger. In that area, he could scream so as reflecting himself that the causes of his anger. Lastly, swimming area is him overcoming his anger and also a place where leads all his frustration dissapear.

FINAL MODEL
Personally, I have enjoyed the process from building up mockup models to final models. In the process, I have faced challenges on the materials and the model appearances and so on. However, I still manage to develop and complete this challenging part with the guidance from our tutor. In my mockup model one, our tutor suggested me to remain the cubes instead of rectangular for my staircase to show more activities to be done in that area instead of just one activity.
A2 PRESENTATION BOARD
In this A2 Board, I have draw one elevation and axonometric drawings so as include narrative, design elements, bubble diagrams, justification, design principle, development, pictures of mockup model one and two and also pictures of elevations and perspective view of my final model.
