As the requirement for the final year students to graduate, the Interior Design students cohort 2012 held an exhibition, ?Public Space? on 8-13 April 2015 at building B, 6th floor room 602.

 

 

Not only as the requirement to end up the semester, this exhibition?s objective was also to deliver informations, ideas, and inspirations to the public as to the designer involvement in creating public spaces. The students should be creative while brainstorming the right design for a space that they had chosen and eventually the residents or visitors would be at ease in doing their daily activities. The spaces must have better concepts in the aspect of interior design, functionality, and involvement of the people and aesthetics. The Public Spaces were museum, clinic, school, orphanage, and library.

 

 

Public Space was chosen by the group in which each had 11 students in it. This exhibition was started with several process done by the students. The steps and final design were decided by the method of participatory.

 

 

 

The first step step consisted of macro and micro location survey, primary and general users survey, location measurement, participatory survey, and joint activities (done more than 4 times), the general and specific issues formulation, problem analysis, space analysis, space requirement table and conceptualization.

The second step were general and detailed concepts formulation, participatory analytical application to create the concept, the concept, broad concept and analysis, the relation between concept and participatory survey, the application of detailed concept in space planning and the settlement of any design problems.

 

 

The third step was to plan a detail of every room, study mock-up making, design assistance (done more than twice so that the design would be on track), space prespective, a prototype from certain room, prototype design and making (three alternatives that became one master design), mock-up build with the scale of 1:50, mock-up prototype creation, construction and design prototype assistance, prototype creation with the scale of 1:1, the prototype trial in the public space , and the showcase of prototype at the exhibition room.

 

 

The last step was the area division or class for the exhibition layout, showcase the prototype in the exhibition area, exhibition presentation (as the final exam scoring) and a prototype exhibition for the public.

 

 

The final result of the Public Space from the Interior Design students were praiseworthy, since they gave resolutions to the answers of every issues experienced by the Public Space management. For instance, one group designed a Zoology Museum Bogor, which was started by the information reported by the museum management that lots of students visited Zoology tend to feel afraid as to the Zoology nuances were not that appealing. It was dark, damp, and cold.

 

 

As the result, the group remodeled the Zoology Museum design to be more comfortable, by displaying an engraving in Dinosaurs feet shapes up on the ceiling in the museum?s alley, so when people entered the alley, it would look like dinosaurs feet followed your steps. This was really interesting especially for the Kindergarden and Elementary School. Besides that, this group also designed a glass box for the insects, where the box could be pulled out so the visitors could see the insects in shorter distance. (fc)
