Project 3 - Designer's Intervention
Saturday, October 04, 2008
The project name sounds kinda cool..
BUT
The project itself is sooooo terribly difficult. Or is it just in my case?
Well... This time we were given names of designers; not only interior designers, but also fashion, product, graphic, and architects. Each of us get different names but there are some cases where two students share the same designer. Next, we have to research on them, learn about their design philosophy and approach. The philosophy and approach should then be applied in making a Student Lounge
When the lecturers were giving the names, I was hoping that I could get Santiago Calatrava or Karim Rashid, or Herzog & de Meuron. Unfortunately, I didn't get any of them... So what did I get?
BOLLES + WILSON
Now let's speak Bahasa Indonesia for next paragraph (due to some safety purpose ... Hahaha)
Itu designer gw bener2 blom pernah denger sekalipun. Waktu si dosen sebutin nama ini, gw nanya lagi, "Siapa?" Eh si dosen malah ngomong, "Kamu ga tau BOLLES + WILSON?"
Waduh nyebelin bngt sih. Ya maap kalo gw ga tau. Tapi coba aja nanya ke semua anak level 1,2,3 Interior Design, apa ada yang familiar ama nih nama...?
Ok, back to English...
Later on, after trying to research on this name, I found out that it is actually an architecture company based in Germany. However, It is soooo difficult to find references about them. There's only one website; which is their official website where I can find their buildings and very very short biography. But they don't allow the images to be downloaded. Oh man...!
I have been to the National Library twice and I still couldn't find any book about them. What I got were three books, two books only explain about one of their building, and the other is about Wilson's work in Japan. From those three books, I feel that every building almost has different styles. How am I supposed to get the design approach then???
While my other friends could easily find a lot of books about their designers and get their philosophy and approach, I still struggled to search for images of their works so that I could learn from them. I'm so depressed...!
