The Future of Play Bachelor of Spatial Design Design MADA Now 2022

Bun Huy Eung

My work revolves around sociopolitical issues that people of my generation are facing. Using my role as a spatial designer, I like to create spaces that bring people together for the purpose of raising awareness, solving problems and asking questions. This project hits close to home because it is tackling the housing crisis.

The project offers a glimpse into a disheartening future, where middle-class people can no longer afford rent and are forced to live in modules made from scaffolding. These are facilitated by corporates trying to take advantage of people’s need for a home. The question this project is asking is ‘How far will we let greed go unchecked before we say enough is enough?

The Overall View of The Apartment

This drawing cuts into the whole apartment in an axonometric view that highlights the corridors and lobby space. The drawing gives an overall view of the design in the context of the restrictive space. The top three floors are where the sleep corridors are and the ground floor is the community lobby. The axonometric view shows how people interact with the modules.

The Community Lobby

This perspective view of the community space is located in the lobby of an apartment. Looking from the entrance of the apartment, this is image gives an overall view of the whole lobby space. The area serves as a place for people to come together to cook, eat and socialize, for as we experience hard times, companionship makes things feel easier to handle. To accommodate people’s needs, I have designed a communal table, custom fridges with enough space for all residents, a storage rack and kitchen modules.

Floor Plan & Exploded Axonometric Drawings: The Community Lobby

This drawing shows the floor plan of the community space with the material and texture of the space. The axonometric drawings of the modules show how the modules are constructed and point out where the modules are in relation to the space.

The Sleep Corridor

This render shows a view from the start of one end of the corridor to another. Here lie the modules that allow residents to sleep in the corridor without hampering the use of the hallway. People have to climb the ladder to get to their sleep pod, which is extremely small, smaller than a single size bed. Each module has dedicated space for people to store their belongings which also act as a seat.
