Old Photos taken with analog BRAUN DN60

•January 21, 2012 • Leave a Comment

I can’t believe I find my old pictures taken with analog camera. I actually have many pictures which are captured by analog camera but for now I just can find few part of it. As I remember, someone cleaned my room and removed some of my analog pictures. I put all the pictures in box and they might think it was an unnecessary box. So they remove it and tell nothing. Awwwww

I remember, these pictures were taken when I first studied photography on the year 2008-2009. At that time I didn’t have camera so I borrowed my friend. Analog camera is a bit difficult but when I used to it, it becomes so fun!

I took colour and Black&White photos. These photos were taken with Braun DN60 and located in Yogyakarta area (Taman Sari, PulauCemeti, Taman Pintar, and BentengVredeburg). By the way, it is an original scan which is processed from negative photos so I do not edit anything from it.Enjoy the photo and comments are welcomed.

Well, before I rarely have photobook collection of  JYJ.  But, one day I am thinkin to have one of their photobook . Since I love photography, I want to have the photobook which has beautiful capture inside.

It’s my 1st time to have a photobook of JYJ’s member named Kim Jaejoong. This photobook titled “A Memoir of Journey” and it’s photographed by a really talented JJ’s fans named Oum or we can call her Getsuyoubi :D

I often see her captures and it’s so awesome. I remember I knew her when JYJ Dome Concert in Osaka 2010 and with only seein her capture, I  can feel that she’s really in love with JJ. She captures beautiful composition of Jaejoong. It is difficult to explain word by word, just open this photobook and you’ ll see how awesome are the pictures.

At that time, I just wish that she make special photobook of JJ. I want to have it because she capture unique moments and gesture of JJ. And now, here it is. She made 1stJaejoong photobook and it’s a must have photobook for you Jaejoong fans. The whole picture are really detail, you can see various JJ expression from happy to sad.

Here’re some of the preview :

Inside the photobook, here’s one of my fave pic : 3 boys called JYJ gather together in a stage.

Jaejoong Calendar 2012 for the bonus.

 

We will find lots of smile expression inside. Getsuyoubi capture happy expression of Jaejoong but somehow I think I see sadness from the eyes. He smiles but his eyes say something different. Well, JJ hope you’re Ok.

JJ, Life can be hard sometimes… but it’s going to be okay.

Final Design Part 2 : Nitiprayan Kindergarten Design Concept

•June 30, 2011 • 4 Comments

Welcome back to 2nd post about my final design.

Well, the reason I choose to make a kindergarten is because in daily life I often play with kids (my family and neighbour), I like kids and I’ve visited many kindergartens in Indonesia and I feel it’s a bit boring since they give class with massive partition,  few connection to nature, they give cute visual but not unique details, they don’t give new space to create new game but they give new toys for play, they force the children to study hard,etc. Because of that reason, I want to  design a new kindergarten with  deeper understanding and detail.

“How sad that by age three or four, children might already be labelled as having less chance for success than some of his classmates.” (Joseph J. Tobin, David Y.H Wu, Dana H Davidson. Preschool in Three Culture.1989.page : 25)

I don’t agree calistung (baca, tulis , berhitung : read, write, and count) system in Indonesia kindergarten. Even in UU RI No.23 Tahun 2003 doesn’t mention about calistung for kindergarten education system in Indonesia.  They believe that calistung sytem can form children into a perfect human in the future in education. Well, by forcing children in their gold age (kindergarten age) actually can damage their mental growth. So that’s why I want to use Long Range Strategy System. This system do not force children to study hard but allow children to express their feeling and learn by playing. The goal of the system is not form a children to become clever instantly but form a strong and great personality for individual so that in the future they can be an outstanding people.

Thanx God, I had a chance to study about kindergarten in Japan before I finish my final design in bachelor. I learn a lot there about kindergarten architecture, children behavior, how to respond children’s movement, microscopic design, etc. I use some of informations that I got for my final design.

I use a new theory called Microscopic Design Methodology to design this kindergarten. This new methodology is explained on book titled “ Microscopic Designing Methodology: by Hiroshi Nakamura.

Microscopic design is about dynamic relationship; where to what and how people are connected rather than adhering visible and static objects such as form and structure of architecture. It is also observes how behaviors and actions are engendered with great care. (Nakamura, Hiroshi. Microscopic Designing Methodology.2010.page : 10)

This design methodology basically pay attention to something micro such as human body (how’s their behaviour, movement, tactile,etc) , nature (connection between human and nature), material ( various materials and how to collaborate it), social and environment ( how people connects to their environment).

Well, I start my design from the main part of the kindergarten (classroom), I try to study some shapes which are  suitable for the classroom. The classroom can be rectangle, modified with triangle, hexagonal,etc. At the end I choose hexagonal because this basic shape has the many view orientations. This makes the classroom become more dynamic and children will enjoy doing their activities.

Well actually circle has more view orientation than hexagonal but I don’t take circle for basic plan because when a space has unlimited view orientation, the activities can’t be controlled. Well, kindergarten classroom need to have free space but then when it has too many view orientation, children’s activities are difficult to be controlled and the school activites will be mess.

The plan transformation can be seen on the pics below.

I use Microscopic Design Methodology, it means that I observe little moments of children. I record some movements, moments, behaviour, and from all the datas, I make 4 icon designs on my kindergarten :

  1. Nature
  2. Play and Communication
  3. Freedom
  4. New Space

NATURE

Nature means the kindergarten allow children to feel the nature. I give a skylight on the library and a chute. The skylight allows children to see the blue sky and chute allows children to see and touch the rainfall in one section of the kindergarten.

See the poster below for further explanation. Well I use Indonesia Language (Bahasa Indonesia) for the explanation.

PLAY AND COMMUNICATION

The playground of a new kindergartens should be laid out as such, and develop from the outset as multi-purpose play spaces, so that the ground can be left to the children of the neighbourhood for playing in their free time. (Playground and Recreational Space Book)

Kindergarten has inner court and communal park on the front. Inner court is an open space inside and has an installed stage from wood construction. The stage will be functioned for art performance and also for playing area.

Communal Park is provide for kindergarten user and also people who live surrounding. It is a free space that allows communication between kindergarten’s user and non user.

FREEDOM

Exercise of the body, of the voice, of the whole person in the production of the maximum possible commotion is an absolute necessity at sometime to other to every healthy child. Noise is necessary, movement is necessary and to be healthy these must be allowed to be exactly what they are shapeless explosions of an over plus of energy. (Lowenfield.Pattern of Designing Children Centre.1935)

Freedom allow children to observe other class activities and access each kindergarten part easily.

I give unlimited corridor for each classes. You can see from the pic below that corridor is placed surrounding the classes, library and other rooms. The classroom and library use clear sliding door. I try to use transparent partition for this kindergarten. Well, there’s one opinion said that it’s better to border the classroom with massive partition because massive partition can create silent area so that children can study well and seriously but I don’t agree to this opinion. I make the classroom to be opened and transparent so that children can hear the voice from neighbour, can hear the children step, and enjoy the each space of the kindergarten.

NEW SPACE

New space is the library. Usually inside the library there’re tables, chair and book shelves, but here there aren’t. Library is a semi open and free space. In the middle is installed a furniture. The furniture shape almost looks like lantern. Inside the furniture, children can take a rest, reading a book while laying, play a shadow game, and this furniture can become an art space + media.In dark place, the furniture can be collaborated with projector so that the furniture’s surface presents various images.

About the Location :

The Kindergarten is located in Nitiprayan village. This is located near Bugisan Area, 3km from Jogjakarta Palace (Kraton Yogyakarta).Nitiprayan is a village which is unique of the diversity. The people there are from various ethnics and they often hold a culture and tradition event. Some of them are artists such as painter, musician, theatre play, sculptor, perfomer, etc. They are really open to new idea and innovation.

Final Design Part 1 : Nitiprayan Kindergarten Flyer

•June 7, 2011 • Leave a Comment


This is a flyer for my final presentation. The reason why I made this flyer just because I can’t explain really well in the presentation. I actually have 1 week for the preparation but at that time many things happen and I cant do it perfectly :(

I decide to use this flyer for helping me explain the design to the 先生。
I put 4 main icons from the kindergarten design and explain it shortly. While on the front page I explain the design transformation, give some building perspective views and a short quote about my idea for the children and this kindergarten. The quote :

I want to design a kindergarten which is easy to be touched and felt by them. It means that this building presents little moments of beauty that they have experienced in their daily life such as play and joking with friends, seeing the beautiful sky, touch and feel the rainfall, see some flowers growing.
Such Moment make them happy and start to learn from environment. I want them to share their happiness and new skills.

I will put the explanation of the design on my blog soon .
