Design Studio 1 - Tourism Centre

Stepping wood

This tourism center location is at Suaka Margasatwa, PIK, North Jakarta. It has two observation decks, one coffee shop, and two entrances. The first entry is for the cafe service area, and the second is for public visitors.

The concept of the structure comes from the contour swamp land of the site, different levels for every chamber lead to the observation deck that has the same height as the surrounding trees to observe plants and animals, then continue to the following observation deck that is higher than the surrounding trees to prevent the view from being blocked. The first floor is filled with cafes for visitors to enjoy the river view.

21 sept 2024 | number theory day

I studied ring of integers mod n today. I'll do more of the ring and group stuff tomorrow, there's a quiz coming up on Monday.

also my new study desk finally arrived today. and there was a minor (minor by the standards of an average, normal and fully functional member of the common society; Major, HUGE - by mine) screwup there as well [listen to me whine below the cut <3]

so my roommate didn't let me know about this desk business when I was in the study room (and she, in the dorm room), so she conveniently positioned the desks in a way that my bed is now too close to the balcony door (the current arrangement is in her favour - she essentially has no change while my bed has suffered a displacement of ~40cm which is unbearably irksome and even hurtful to my existence) and I feel a tad bit too claustrophobic. the 35-40cm shift in position is kind of unbearably painful to me (I um hate changes, absolutely hate them). she also left me with the dirtier desk so I had to wipe at it with my noodle arms for a longer while than it could've been (the surface was white, so I had no choice but to wipe at it for nearly an hour before realising that some of those dirty marks simply wouldn't go - and acceptance does not easily come to me)

I'm guessing that her not telling me was fully intentional because we're not the best buddies (we interact only out of necessity) and I am the kind to assume the worst of any random person that I meet in real life (in the sense, the worst that they can do to me), including myself. all this is kinda stressing me out, and I've not been able to sleep for the past half-hour or so because of the bed, and I'll never ask her to move her desk so I can move back my bed because I absolutely hate confrontations. so I just put up with her and adjust. and I absolutely hate it. my friend says that I have to speak up and can't be a pushover forever but then, ARGH I simply cannot wait for my own single room next year.

I already have a lot on my plate at the moment and the world only hurls more stuff at me, making it worse

it's fine (it's not, but the first step is to lie to my brain, so ┐(´ー｀)┌) because I already have a lot of stuff to do, and can't afford to waste my energy on all this.

I've got to mail my mentor tomorrow, study some group and ring formalisms, work on my summer report, study Fourier series and coupled oscillations - I'm going to take it slow anyways, because I'm not quite there for the Hustle yet.

theres a course i really want to do sem2 next year (its an aen course. who wouldve guessed) but it has a latn prerequisite in sem1, except my other degree cores are all in sem1. so the only option is to overload and make it out of there alive, which, is. erm. up till now ive taken 4 units a sem and one of them is always this unserious unit. and i have a lot more work next year too.

Bridging the gap

A warm up teamwork project before really dive into an individual studio project

This is a group project that consists of 3 people each group. The task is to connect the two places without touching the middle ground (grey area) using one material only. So we decided to use the skewers with the help of rubber band, and create this same repetition of geometric shape.

Teamwork and balance were needed in this project.

This project got me learned to accept each person's idea, not to refuse but join the idea together to form a new stronger idea. Not to mention that stronger friendship was developed here too.

As they say

“Teamwork makes the dream work.”

advice for 19 year olds?

hmmmm heres some stuff from myself and from observations of ppl i knew at 19

im not sure if this will apply to you mate, but when i was 18 i was really fighting to fit in a certain sort of hierarchy and be a certain sort of person. i didnt let go of that when i left my childhood home and i wish i had. dont perform to the standards of your birdcage

take care of the body you have. i didnt want to live at 19 and i did some shit to myself that i now sincerely regret. dont live for the future but dont punish yourself for shit that happened in the past yk

if youre 19 and living in dorms or college or halls of residence, dont shit where you eat. i was in a hall of residence, i witnessed this time and time again, just not worth the stress im ngl

try not to live in a snowglobe

try not to live in a lab. im guilty of this now and at 19. spent more time analysing people to bridge the gap between us than trying to actually interact with them. on the plus side i write about it now but, still. i think it helps to remember that youre making your life with each breath and step and people around you are your peers not your specimens

seek to understand everyone without needing to take them apart. be open. the world is so huge you know. theres so much to see and listen to

dont get into a serious relationship. or go ahead and lose yourself in people but idk, i figure 19 is too young to be gunning for the person that could make it all better for you forever

tell your friends you love them all the time regardless of context or consequence. youll wish you had, honest. treat every stranger as a friend to be

i really dont think you have to grind at first yesr undergrad lol but im not gonna encourage you to slack off and do fuck all just keep in mind i tried way too hard at undergrad and burnt out in sem1 of postgrad and dropped out lol

do everything you possibly can while you have the time but dont feel guilty for resting yknow. volunteer for things whenever you can.

dont fucking buy shein

write poetry about what it was like to be younger. it's important that you decide how you felt about all of it before someone decides for you

be weirder than you think appropriate

there is a limit to how far you should go for free drugs and it depends on you but you gotta trust your instinct. tbh i could do a whole paragraph on substance related advice but . when your gut tells you to get outta there gtfo. dont mix lsd and alcohol. share but dont be taken advantage of. if someone cuts you a line and it stings when you snort it's ket not coke and you should find a place to sit down.

theres so much to be excited about and so much to love. be good to yourself so you can see as much as you can

i just knew u needed me… could feel it in my soul… u needed something to get u thru exams again…

guys guys GUYS. big news, BIG news. i just registered for my pre-major year.

i am taking physics and math. yes! i am taking physics and math!

i made a decision! finally! i overcame my fear (w help from my friends; i made friends, guys. honest-to-god real life people for friends. who helped me see how being a chicken is not good for me if i want to go for what i want)

now. storytime! (more like another bout of my verbal diarrhea but whatever)

today was a day of intense aggressive-walking-in-circles from almost noon to 00.30. intense anxiety, admitting the truth was like getting my teeth pulled. intense headaches (my temples still throb). but i did it. i made The Decision. now. i was horribly worried over how my CPI/CGPA might fall badly if I took math-phy combination (in sem1, i got C's in both phy & math - i lost a B by 1 mark in phy, math was a solid C. not proud of either, but I half-assed my way through sem1 for different reasons. In sem2, again i had a lot of problems. stuff got in my way. I got B's in both, missed A's in both by 2 marks. it was painful.) so there's a cutoff that you need to cross to be allotted a major. and my intense fear was this: what if my CPI got so bad that I couldn't clear the cutoff and I wasn't allotted a major? a real fear. but one that was fed by my own insecurities. frankly, i was plainly scared if i was good enough for pure math. i'd loved math at school, but of course i'd never gotten a real taste of its abstraction. until i did. and it was amazing. and i knew nothing about it. so the thought of pursuing my interest in something in which i have no idea of my potential, scared the shit out of me. so even after my love for math, i was scared to choose it. and i was even more scared to choose phy/math, because it's widely known as the killer combination for one's CPI. so yeahh. but i thought over all the ways that my math/phy and math/bio choices can look, in the long haul. i can always do biology-intersection work later down the line if i want to, if i major in either math/phy. i've seen many of my seniors do that, so many. but i can't switch as easily to physics (mostly theory) with math/bio, unless i necessarily major in math. which isn't necessarily a issue. but the math/phy makes more sense. also! i can do bio lab work in winter breaks if i want. so i finally bit the bullet and chose math/phy. it's on me. i am going to study what i want, go for what i want. i am done being scared. i want to study math and physics, and i'm gonna do it.
