"Define an institute’s alternative identity  (Alt-Institute) within the vocabulary,

rules and limits defined in previous phase work. Craft an argument around

institutionality and pedagogy facilitated through architectural language."

Little Box 

From the previous phase, the DNA of the case study architecture and architect are presented in free learning center such as building with nature, little spaces, 

and no boundaries between exterior and interior , together creates  a sharing space for different programs in limited space that still conserving surrounding nature

"Phase 2: Teaching tools, Students should

present a series of open-ended toys, games or puzzles"

LITTLE LEGS

During this phase, I designed a toy that decoded from the building " "Shichigahama Elementary School and Junior High School" . I followed the concept of  building by choosing 1  component  as inspiration and references which is 'Little space'.

  I tried to play with the concept of little spaces which is how one space can combines with other space in order to create a multi function. I used the shape of little space and cut it only remain the legs so I called it as 'Little Legs'. I made the toy to have different sizes and made out of wood same as the original form.

The form places emphasis on the concepts of 'space in space' or 'piece in piece', order and unity while allowing for experimentation in balance and versatility. Little legs offers player endless new combinations that uses depth and scale to explore shapes symmetry, movement and interlocking relationship.

Example of arrangement - Balancing

Little legs comprises 10 small and larger bridge-shaped elements made of 

layered wood create sophisticated constructions with  piers, columns and supports.

Video : How to play

The toy stimulates and encourages the imagination by allowing the user to arrange the toy in countless possibilities that promoting STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and also building hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness skill as well, no matter the age.

-Didactic DNA-

"During this phase, students should present a series

of portrait which is the product of exercises in

redrawing, modeling and rendering case study projects"

The case study of this project is "Shichigaham Elementary School and Junior High School". This proposal is for a project to rebuild a junior high school damaged by Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. The building designed by Japanese architect Kumiko Inui. Entitled  'Forest of Little Spaces', it is a long-term project combining small. multi-purpose buildings called '

Little Spaces' with plant life.

    

  

WHOLE

"Building + Nature"

The peninsula’s landscape of lush forests led to a configuration which welcomes the outdoors into the learning environment. The building’s open and permeable boundary creates a connection with trees and plants which surround the structure.

PART

  The series of pavilions and courtyards blur boundaries between the interior and exterior, integrating nature into classrooms and gathering spaces, aiming to generate an ideal atmosphere for students.

DETAIL

The four-legged huts of varying sizes are dedicated to diverse activities. Scattered throughout the interior, their placement fragments the open plan to produce more intimate spaces.
