Floor Plan Floor Site Floor It Now!

First time design a housing area, at the studio of design architecture. We have to know more about a site. We make a site plan. We make the environment inside the site. We design a house too, floor plan and facade. There are so a lot of things to think to get a good grade at every tasks. I've made about more than three alternative design of site plan. I made the right of way, the section of the street. We were always looking at the precedent. We help each other to do this task. And now, I will share some designs of making a floor plan of the house.

The site is at Suka Ati, near Batununggal Housing, Bandung. We have to manage about 300 lots in 10 hectares land. There were two types of lots, 120 m2 and 170 m2. The 300 lots is divided into two types, 120 m2 is about 200 lots and the 170 m2 is about 100 lots. There are also a social facilities and public facilites, like mosque, office, shop or retail, public hall, kindergarten, including park.

Bird eye view perspective of Taman SukaAti Permai, SukaAti, Bandung. *prelim*

Finally, today I surrender with this all. I made about 9 pages, while the others made about 13 pages. What makes me different is about the layout. First page, I made the Master Plan of this Taman SukaAti Permai (that's what I called this housing). It'll never be attracted *pffft*. Here's the picture above of bird eye view perspective that I've made about four hours yesterday (include eat, going to bathroom, pray). Second page, there is a concept of this site planning development. Then, section of street, floor plan of all house, front view of house, and section detail of one street.

Actually, I want to "sell" this pictures to public (if they want this design houses), but I promise to be a "kind" person at my sketchbook (yesterday). But I want a work too, I need money too, I need a job now. So, here what I can give it to public... *for now* I will tell you how I made this animation-like bird eye view just for preliminary drawing, architectural. I know that picture is really bad, but I feel optimistic *because of the less pixel*.

Front view of houses with lots area 120 m2.

Front view of houses with lots area 170 m2.

I think, this is the simplest-worst-too-animated picture of perspective, if I consider it with all perspective in this world. First, I made a model of each house with SketchUp. There were four type houses. I just made this model for front view and side view. After finished all views, I made the simple view from each type houses. I rendered front view with Twilight plugin at Google SketchUp. While I was making this all model, I've finished Site Plan for being placed with the model houses. There is four blocks type with four different colors for each blocks. Chocolate Sand, Pale Yellow, Blue Sky, Red Brick. (Wow, I just thought something for giving names for each blocks with this colors name.)

After placing each house (about 350 lots), I rendered it, and keep repeat it about 10 times, because of the bad angle view. The next step was importing the picture of rendered perspective housing to Photoshop. I made the green color around the site, grey color for street, blue for river, two gates for entrance (I made it with no thought before), inserting car view upside, and the hardest thing to do was inserting the trees for each houses, social facilities, park, and palm at main street. While I was adding the trees, there were troublesome like software error suddenly and you couldn't do nothing. I hate this moment. And voila~ I've finished this bird eye view housing.

The scale is really big because the site is about 10 hectares area, more than 300 lots and 300 houses to be placed. I don't have any files again for make it real view, I have the bird file picture, but I just get remember it now. hahaha Let's just study harder and harder, make all our work being more beautiful and get the highest score for the best!

Get ready for the FINAL EXAM of ARCHITECTURE Program Study!

Or we can call it the Comprehensive Test. 12 days to go for the test from now. This is the scariest thing that I have to face and a must before graduation. Beside thinking this, there are also too many tasks to do. Better check the point that we have to prepare for this final exam from now before it was too late~ That's really a lot of things and a lot of theories and and many more. I was really confused what should I have to do first right now, there were this Comprehensive Test, Parametric Form Mid-Test, and search a precedent for Studio of Architecture Design about Mixed-Use Building. And I decided to write this, yehet~

First of all, we have to know the outcomes. There are four main outcomes that should be prepare. There will be 200 question, multiple choice answers (4 options) within 200 minutes. It means that we have to finish one question within one minute. The question would be screen at the powerpoint slider with the timer about one or two minute for each slide that show about one or two question. The outcomes is to know:

Architecture Communication: convention, general regulation, and software. The example of the questions would be like ask about a picture and what the kind and the use of that picture. There will be asking about shadowing theory and perspective theory. For the software is what we used for digital drawing software like AutoCAD, SketchUp, ArchiCAD and other software of a kind like that.

Architecture Art and History: related with social, culture, and behavior, also the history of architecture of the world and archipelago. This is also related with the consideration, work, building, illustration, quotes, iconic work from the famous architect at that time. One of the example question would be like guess the architect from the picture of his/her building.

Architecture Theory and Practical Design: design theories, architecture theories, design process, building regulations, and building typologies. For practical design, is about profession, project management, project stakeholder, rights and duties each stakeholder. The example would be guess the character and cases or a situation about the rights of stakeholders.

Architecture Technology: building and site planning, basic structure, construction, materials, and mechanical/electrical. Related lectures like building physics, building science, project management and construction. The regulations belong to National Standardization Agency of Indonesia like safety, healthy, and security of a building.

The lecturer said all of this outcomes come from our lectures at the past. But we were in the transition time between curriculum 2008 and curriculum 2013 which has a lot of different lecture, enough. Our senior that passed this comprehensive test was the proved that we can answer all the question. Do not worry again about that, just believe... And this book is consist of all the lecture that I wrote. Well, looks really heavy and thick, yeah it's true.

My notebook.

If you have any question or suggestion, I will be glad to receive all. Please kindly ask through my active accounts. I hope, I and all my friends had a chance to get the best score with our hard working. Let's get study from now!

Welcome To The New World of The Good Historical Story Method!

This new world is really interesting for me, for you, and for all people that come to Bandung, about its tourism and histories. How about the method? So, this is all about a community which appreciate their hometown with take a long road, walking around together and tell a story behind that road, including a figure people and all of the historical building. As people known, Bandung outstanding full of historical building and historical story to the nation. Not only at the center of Bandung but also a city or area around it. As the basic information, Bandung was known by Parijs Van Java, means that Bandung was look alike Paris that located in Java.

I followed this community since a week before my birthday at this year 2014, March. First time experienced walk was really tired and took a really long road, like from the North Bandung to the South Bandung. That first experience made me think negatively to this community. I don't really like if they forgot about time. But they were really kind, good, and humorous to us, so all of tired was forgotten at that time. Beside that, I've traveled together with about my new twenty friends around Braga street, oftenly. Last time, we've traveled around an area called Kebon Kawung near the Train Station in Bandung. At the end area of that last time traveling was still near with Braga street. So, Bandung feels really small for us.

The community itself called "Komunitas Aleut" was built since eight years ago. But, I can't tell you the community with this post, you have to open their website, please just find their wordpress at the search engine. It is using Indonesian language, you can translate all with the translator at the search engine too. They tell about their travelling, some figure peoples, areas, histories, and many more, not only about Bandung but sometimes also involved some cities in Indonesia. I'm not their coordinator or founder or official member, I just following my friend and I have fun with their stories while we were walking around the road. The coordinator usually will stay at one point and tell us the history about those areas or roads or buildings.

So, that's all I want to tell you. I don't want make it to a long post. If you want to know Bandung more and really interesting with this community, please contact me or their community. (but I don't know if they can use english too while tell a story, but... but also for me I can't speak english well) You will enjoy the history of Bandung with the new method! Kindly welcoming you! Congratulate Bandung for its 204th!

Hear-This-Sound-From-Your-Cloud#4 EXO - OVERDOSE (CANDU ver. 4)

Finallly, finally, finally~~~ after about more than three months, I've finished the Indonesian lyrics last afternoon (while I was run off from an agenda organization, I'm really sorry but I was really weak and tired at that time). I've promised and tweeted about to make this post and write the lyrics and record my bad-voice so I can publish it everywhere~ I planned this before this album overdose was released. I still so frustrated with my pre-final-project, so I spend my time in this Saturday morning for recording this song. I used the instrumental version but it sounds weird for me, but I don't really care. I've tried about four times recording, and I've got the best recorded voice. Maybe if you're not an Indonesian, you won't understand how similar this lyrics to the original Korean lyrics. Let's sing together! Kindly check my newest soundcloud uploaded voice~~ https://soundcloud.com/tesyamclaud/exo-overdose-candu-ver-4

EXO - OVERDOSE (CANDU ver. 4)

masuk~

tertarik dengan smua yang ku punya

tak bisa mengubahnya kembali

ini jelas candu bahaya

buruk, tak bsa berhenti

cinta cinta

satu-satunya hal yang ku inginkan adalah cintanya

ini fatal fantasi

ku mabuk dengan ekstasi

oh dia ingin

oh dia punya

oh dia sakiti

baik, dia inginkan yang lebih

seseorang panggil dokter

tahan dan beritahu

cinta itu candu, overdosis

sulit tuk mengatur seiring jalannya waktu

ku jatuh lebih dalam lagi e o

banyak, cinta, kamu, ini overdosis

banyak, cinta, kamu, ini overdosis

caramu menggodaku oh tidak

naluriku inginkan lebih banyak

napasku jadi cepat ku tersedak

aku menggigil dan mendesah

cinta, cinta

cinta adalah obat kuat

takdirku tak bisa lepas

darahku semakin panas

akhirnya semua kembali

oh dia ingin

oh dia punya

oh dia sakiti

terus berpikir tentang dirimu

seseorang panggil dokter

tahan dan beritahu

cinta itu candu, overdosis

sulit tuk mengatur seiring jalannya waktu

ku jatuh lebih dalam lagi e o

banyak, cinta, kamu, ini overdosis

banyak, cinta, kamu, ini overdosis

semua orang pun bertanya

ku berubah sperti apa

hatiku telah dalam terpaku

duniaku penuh denganmu

tak bisa berhenti, kau memenuhiku

sekarang ini, kau di hatiku

E X O

ku ingin mrasakanmu dan meminummu

jantungku gemetar

ku trus meminum lebih tpi tak cukup

haus ini membuatku dingin sampai ujung jari

tahan dan jangan pergi, lebih baik

tak bisa brhenti

hey dokter

apakah ku baik-baik saja

aku tak terkendali di situasi seperti ini

tanpa prasaan ini rasanya aku mati

alasan ku tinggal karna candu manisnya dirimu

seseorang panggil dokter

seseorang panggil dokter

aku membutuhkannya

ku tak tahan bahkan sehari

kau seperti surga yang tak ingin kutinggalkan

perangkap panjang ini indah e o

banyak, cinta, kamu, ini overdosis

banyak, cinta, kamu, ini overdosis

It's Time to Pre-Final-Project

At this semester, this lecture is like your life or death for a last year student like me. I haven't opportunity to continue a post about EXO TLP in Jakarta. I was really busy and thinking a lot for just this lecture. Beside this lecture, there is also the studio design of architecture. Although this semester I took just about five lecture, but each of the lecture is more difficult to do and so many thought that I have to decide so I could have a good grade for each lecture.

The pre-final-project became the topic of my thought of this day-that-makes-me-frustrate. I proposed a title, "Recreation and Tourism Center at Gedebage". First, I had to have a strong background to make sure the mentor. I had to have a master plan of Gedebage. But obviously, I can't. It has been about more than a month searching for master plan, but I haven't found one. Then, I should have a site that the design will be planned. I can't decided it very clearly to my mentor. So, I feel like frustrate but don't want to give up too early with this lecture.

A group of our lecturer managed us into a few of typology. Each of us has a typology itself. The lecturer decided my title into a theme park typology. I think, the typology of this title is not only a theme park typology but also it can be a recreation typology. The simple meaning of recreation is an activity which is doing on a spare time or a long holiday. You could enjoy any facilities that will bring you to happiness or relaxation, forget all about routine activity. I still really confuse what the buildings that I want to design to respond the environment and why it should be a recreation center. It's a mystery. uuu~~~

Gedebage is a development area of Bandung. I have found more than two master plan of Gedebage. I don't know which one of the updated master plan. I asked a few of my friends, they didn't know a lot about this because they aren't from Bandung or they just have heard that place once or they really haven't heard anythings of Gedebage. I had take a look from senior last year that have finished final project. There are about ten titles that examine the site at Gedebage and no one had studied about recreation typology. It's more like to design a stadium and terminal for train and bus. I am really in an apprehensive situation.

Master Plan of Gedebage (source: skyscrapercity.com)

So, what would I have to do now, find the official master plan from the directorate of planning and urban development, make a programming, compile all of the data into a report, and also don't forget to pray to Allah SWT. I hope whose read this will also doing the work smoothly and no hard obstacle. About Gedebage itself, I will try to make a post soon (as I finish the report as possible). For full original size of those picture above, please contact me to any of my SNS account (click this to see my Short Profile) I will immediately send to you~~ :) (but those pictures will be find easily at the search engine hahaha) Thank you~
