ARTICLE

Inside the Rise of Emotional Design

QUOTATION

"Brought on by isolation fatigue in the cyber age, architects are increasingly seeking to imbue spaces with deeper sensory resonance."

"An intimate relationship an individual has with his or her immediate physical surroundings increasingly designed."

"Colors, light and shadows with bravura and delicacy embraced encourage the visitors to meditate and reflect."

The organic design is highlighted thoroughly in the both exterior and interior of the building. Indeed, the organic design was constructed to signify the flowing of natural forms as the dynamic curves, undulating lines and curvy arches which are intentionally used to mimic nature. The aesthetic unique forms uphold the harmony between human habitation and the natural world, showing an intimate relationship between individual and the physical surroundings. In the organic design, one's visual perception or senses will be further stimulated, and thus evokes inner feeling that makes one to reflect and meditate.

FINAL STAIRS & MODELS

Hero Shot - Front View of Upper-Ground Model.

This hero shot demonstrates the apparent angular features of the exterior, evidently giving a series of oblique appearance that draws the attentiveness to the uniqueness of this appealing structure. Simultaneously, the conception is corresponding to the design of pointed high-heeled shoes by Off-White. The use of transparent material in mentioned design further consolidates the highlight of crystalline nature in sharp-cornered figure. To emphasize on top of the idea, the hero shot was captured to give a magnificent prospect to exhibit the glassy and edged characteristics of the exterior thoroughly.

Detail Shot -View from Surroundings to the Interior Studio Space.

The detail shot chosen is not an extreme close up because several details may be excluded such as exterior and side edged walls. Additionally, the shot was taken at a distance from the structural model. The reason is that by including the exterior formation, this may lead to the unique form of combining two position - interior & exterior, and thus further accentuate the entire representation of diverse angular form.

Single Shot of Both Stairs.

Hero Shot - Back View of Lower-Ground Model.

The hero shot clearly show the diversity of cylindrical form in the construction of model. The shot is chosen because it impacts the most in showing the uniqueness of cylindrical form. This impulsiveness leads to high attentiveness to grasp the justification and the structure as well as other detailed approaches.

Detail Shot of Lower-Ground Stairs Based On "Cylindrical".

The detail shot is showing the interior cylindrical structures and the formation of conceptual stairs based on cylindrical denotation. This shot collects all the unnoticeable information in hero shot while solidifying the comprehension of hero shot.
