Aims and Objectives-Tourism Information Centre

Aims and Objective• To reflect the characteristic of the local culture• To apply sustainable issue to the architecture• To create a centre that can guide the tourist to the right direction

Typical Information Center Design

Concept - DirectionThe concept for the Tourism Information Center is “DIRECTION” which comes from the building program itself. Information Center is a place that always showing clearly direction to people and also a space that link people together. From the concept, 3 keywords had came out which are LINK, CONNECTION and FOCUS POINT that will be apply on the design. Besides, the concept of “ Direction” also inspired by the “ Connection of lines”.

From the keywords above, the interior will be design with a lot of lines link together to form a complete shape. Furthermore, this Information CenterWill not provide any fan or air- conditioning for “Green Concept” purpose. Therefore, the building has a air weld and a lot of windows to bring in natural daylight and wind.

PROTOTYPE- CAPSULE ROOM

Prototype- Capsule roomCapsule room is an extremely small room that provide cheap and basic overnight accommodation to guests. It is a type of hotel developed in Japan. It usually designs in rectangular or square shapes which are bulky. To break the traditional ideas of capsule room, a new design had been developed.

The typical capsule room design- Design in bulky shape, with basic needs such as air-cond, TV and bed etc in the interior.

Prototype- Concept DevelopThe concept for the prototype is transformation. From the word TRANSFORMATION, I had inspired by “COCOON” which is about the metamorphosis. The design of the prototype will be separate into two part, which is the inner part and outer part. The outer part which facingto the first floor café will design to be an enclosed area. It will be designing as a part of wall sculpture too. It is represent the enclose situation before a caterpillar turns into butterfly. For the inner part, it will transform to an open area. This is representing the situation when the caterpillar came out from the cocoon and turns into butterfly. It is also to bring better ventilation and natural daylight to the room. The design of the capsule room is very different with the typical one.

Prototype- Precedent Study 1Nakagin Capsule Hotel in Japan

The concepts of this capsule hotel are metabolism, exchangeability and recyclability. These capsule hotel units can be detachable and replaceable without interrupt other units. However, the exterior design of the capsule hotel was somewhat bulky.

Prototype- Precedent Study 2Spin Spider- Worthy Web by Packing Tape

This is an art installation create by packing tape. The designers using only tape to construct, self- supporting cocoon that visitors can climb inside and explore. The concept was developing from the “movement of dancer between the pillars”.

Prototype- Precedent Study 3

The two images were plays with the connection of line. It looks like the silk that came out from the cocoon.

These structure have punches many holes on the whole structure. It can bring in more natural daylight/ light to the interior. Besides, this idea can also bring better ventilation to the interior.

Cold Air

Hot Air

Cold air can come in from the front and the top. The maincold air is from the river Malacca then come into the interior.

This capsule room does not provide any fan or air- conditioner. So for a better ventilation, it needs more open Space to bring in natural wind.

Prototype- 3D

The form design to be sharp and hard instead of soft because to stronger the characteristic of cocoon which protected caterpillar till it turns to butterfly.
