Hi all, ...
This is our entry for The 5th DBEW International Design Competition.
category AI. (see the brief below)
Total posting to the forum:
15 images (4 submitted panels + 11 zoomed views of them).
Please be patient,...slow dial-up connection down here.
Workflow: ideas on sketchpad, modelled in SU5, rendered in Piranesi, layoutted in XaraX1.
Comments are mostly welcomed.
First of all, our self criticisms: :)
1. The concept is 'half-baked'...not fully developed. We (a friend and I) worked part-timely for 5 days, from idea making, drawings to panels production. We're kind of regretting for not being able to provide more time on this competition.
2. The presentation is also 'half-baked'. We're not satisfied with drawings, the layout style and colours..it should expresses our theme in a better way.
3. After submitting, we even still find typos on the panel. :mad: ...we should have checked and double-checked!!
Here is the brief + followed by our concept..

Creative design for children’s room in an age when the most prominent family type is a dual-income family with one child
The transition from the agricultural age to the industrial age also brought about changes in the family system from an extended family to a nuclear family(stay-at home mom with an average of two children). Now the family system is going under another significant change with the increasing no. of two-income families with one child and people remaining single. When the nuclear family type became prevalent, the burden of household labor on housewives was resolved by the revolutionary development and distribution of modern furniture and electronic appliances, allowing housewives to advance into society and opening the door to the two-income family age.
However, children’s education is being neglected. While the seniors of a family took care of children under the extended family system, housewives took the responsibility to make sure their children receive the best education possible for their future success in the nuclear family system. In the era where a heated competition is engaged among the members of society and the two-income family type has become a norm, however, families are now playing a smaller role in terms of children’s education and it has been entrusted to the society to look after children’s education. Under these circumstances, children are helplessly exposed to potentially harmful information through games and the Internet. Far from reflecting these social changes, their room at home is not designed in a way to function as an environment to nurture children into future leaders. With a higher quality of living, children have more belongings but their living environment has not changed since 30 years ago. Their room has lost the function as a healthy living space, being inundated with an avalanche of computer devices, clothes, sports equipments, and study materials, and seriously lacking in spaces to put away these items.
‘My Space, My World’ Creative design for children’s room where they can think and learn things on their own is desperately required. Their room should enable them to dream about and plan for their future as a captain at the helm of a spaceship would make a voyage to the star. They should be able to find out their potentials, test their personalities, and have fun in their rooms. In a creative environment where they can study, enjoy entertainment, and relax, children will be able to explore their future to become healthy, unique, and capable persons.
Though children’s cultural disposition is determined based on where they were born, they are exposed to the same information without regard to their nationality such as Korea, China, and Japan. Unlimited information that children may come in contact with needs to be filtered so they acquire information that suits their cultural disposition.
Children’s i-space(interior, intellectual, and information space) should put focus on the following three areas. Based on the assumption that children are the center of the world, close attention should be paid to houses, rooms, and furniture which they live in and use.
A+I : Architecture & Interior
– ‘Architectural’ concept-based apartment floor plan and creative interior space where children live.
F : Furniture -- .
–-Furniture for i-space
S...: Software(program) .
-. Suggestion of software products using the information
- system to ensure children’s growth into healthy, unique and
- capable persons.
- e.g.
-1) Program to improve the eyesight, physical strength, weight,.and height of children.
2) Personality and aptitude tests, and etc.
3) Programs such as a competence evaluation system
Participants can freely make suggestions based on the aforementioned three areas for creative spaces for children.
~end of brief~
Our concept:
Wickerwork ~ inside/outside dynamism
kids=play=dynamic exploration
exploration=inside/outside
wickerwork=inside/outside dynamism
Asian societies are experiencing high level of acceleration in urbanization.
The dilemma of expansion vs intensification of land uses/nature preservation has now become classic debate throughout asian countries.
Single-child family with dual income parents can be interpreted as a shifting of life-style from commuter-type / white & blue collar working parents /
corporate-man type parents to self employed / entrepreneur type of parents. It is then assumed that at least one of the parents stays home to work and attend the child.
The best urbanization scheme, the intesification of urban land uses, still leaves the single-children vulnerable to alienation from nature and direct social contact with human beings. Concurrently, this condition also offers a new opportunity to explore the Metabolists' idea of creating spaces (exchangeability, modulor buildings, prefabricated parts and components). The units move,change or expand according to the needs of the individual, thereby creating growth and organic society.
The wickerwork concept is manifested into a double-helix configuration , as a way of weaving transparent and solid surfaces into a modul of single-unit open-plan living space (with a triangular plane as the smallest surface component). The single unit as a modul can be arranged in various types of housing compounds.
While integrated in the compounds, each single unit can move on its longitudinal direction to a limited extend, but far enough to allow various possibilities of creating joint spaces with other units, offering new types of socialization spaces.
The design concept also explores the possibilities of providing optimum contact with the outdoor atmosphere as the first medium of such direct contact, offering possibilities of initial sensory contacts (see, smell, hear, touch) that will stimulate the curiosity which leads to direct contacts and outdoor explorations.
