7. Aims and Objectives-
Tourism Information Centre
Typical Information Center Design
Aims and Objective
• To reflect the characteristic of the local culture
• To apply sustainable issue to the architecture
• To create a centre that can guide the tourist to
the right direction
8. Concept - Direction
The concept for the Tourism Information Center is “DIRECTION” which comes
from the building program itself. Information Center is a place that always
showing clearly direction to people and also a space that link people
together. From the concept, 3 keywords had came out which are LINK,
CONNECTION and FOCUS POINT that will be apply on the design. Besides, the
concept of “ Direction” also inspired by the “ CONNECTION OF LINES”.
From the keywords above, the interior will be design with a lot of lines link
together to form a complete shape. Furthermore, this Information Center
Will not provide any fan or air- conditioning for “GREEN CONCEPT” purpose.
Therefore, the building has a air weld and a lot of windows to bring in
natural daylight and wind.

31. Prototype- Capsule room
Capsule room is an extremely small room that provide cheap and basic
overnight accommodation to guests. It is a type of hotel developed in Japan.
It usually designs in rectangular or square shapes which are bulky. To break
the traditional ideas of capsule room, a new design had been developed.
The typical capsule room design- Design in bulky shape, with basic needs such as air-cond, TV and bed
etc in the interior.
32. Prototype- Concept Develop
The concept for the prototype is TRaNSFORmaTION. From the word
TRaNSFORmaTION, I had inspired by “COCOON” which is about the
metamorphosis. The design of the prototype will be separate into two part,
which is the inner part and outer part. The outer part which facing
to the first floor café will design to be an enclosed area. It will be designing
as a part of wall sculpture too. It is represent the enclose situation before a
caterpillar turns into butterfly. For the inner part, it will transform to an
open area. This is representing the situation when the caterpillar came out
from the cocoon and turns into butterfly. It is also to bring better ventilation
and natural daylight to the room. The design of the capsule room is very
different with the typical one.
36. Prototype- Precedent Study 1
Nakagin Capsule Hotel in Japan
The concepts of this capsule hotel are metabolism, exchangeability and
recyclability. These capsule hotel units can be detachable and replaceable
without interrupt other units. However, the exterior design of the capsule
hotel was somewhat bulky.
37. Prototype- Precedent Study 2
Spin Spider- Worthy Web by Packing Tape
This is an art installation create by packing tape. The designers using only
tape to construct, self- supporting cocoon that visitors can climb inside and
explore. The concept was developing from the “movement of dancer between
the pillars”.
38. Prototype- Precedent Study 3
The two images were plays with the connection of line. It looks like the silk
that came out from the cocoon.
These structure have punches many holes on the whole structure. It can bring
in more natural daylight/ light to the interior. Besides, this idea can also bring
better ventilation to the interior.

40. Prototype- 2D

be open as window to give better

41. Prototype- 2D
From this elevation, it can clearly
see the transformation from
Side Elevation an enclosed space to an open
Scale 1:25 space.
42. This capsule room does not
Prototype- 2D provide any fan or air-
conditioner. So for a better
ventilation, it needs more open
Space to bring in natural wind.

Cold air can come in from the

then come into the interior.
43. Prototype- 3D
The form design to be sharp and hard instead of soft because to stronger the characteristic
of cocoon which protected caterpillar till it turns to butterfly.
