GENIUS LOCI - MEMORY REPOSITORY

PETRICHOR is the theme of my design, mean the pleasant earthy smell after raining, symbolizing the beauty of village, the precious of the culture and heritage and the importance of inheritance. A sense of home and the Harbour of refuge was created in the journey of experiencing with the meaning of Machap people always be welcomed back whenever they want.

In this project, the memory repository will be in the style of public space design which all the villagers can spend their time in this area to create an atmosphere of “little Machap” for experiencer when going down the journey. A special atmosphere of being immersed by water will applied in the experiencing journey to remind the youngest the past and strength the appreciation to what they own now, as all of that are not a matter of course, but it is a together effort of elders to bring to us.

Reflection

Finally, I am come to the final project of my Architecture Design Studio III. In this project, I have concluded the "Genius Loci" and the concept development and translate everything into A Memory Repository.

For me it was a perfect ending for this semester and a great starting point of me to step forward:

Along this project, I was given a chance to apply the knowledge in architecture like precent an effective visual and expressive verbal presentation to peer and resolve basic building construction, materials, and environmental considerations that I have gained before, and I feel glad that this final project of this semester is exactly conclude up everything that I learned along. With the experience that I gained in project 2A and 2B, I believe It may build a better me.

Lastly, I want to thanks to my tutors, Ms. Yan, Ms. Sze-ee and also Ms. Sue May who have a lot of experience on this architectural industry, give a lot of patient guiding me and giving comment on my work and also remind me the key aspect that should take in to consideration in the future to create a great architectural deisgn.
