SEMESTER 6

Semester started with a trip to Petaling Street, where we were assigned to do our own Site Manifestation over there. I came out with my own view of Petaling Street, in a form of memory mapping.

Site Manifesto by Nur Amira
The above image shows my own manifestation of the site. The black map represents the black area of Petaling Street, where Petaling Street is famous for its black market and area. The colorful popped colors represents the foreign workers, who are the ones behind the lively-ness of the site. As we all know, foreign people are the ones conquering the place and operating almost all business. Hence, they are the ones making the space lively today.

From the manifestation, I came out with the idea of parasite. The foreign workers are seen as the parasite of Petaling Street, parasite make full use of the site for their own good.

Phase 1 - Inception of Ideas and Intention

I had developed phase 1 even further. To have a similar idea of parasite, I came out with acrobatics to collaborate with my project.

First Idea Crit Session

My idea is to have acrobats performance together with CCC. The acrobats will be serving dessert in their own weird ways, to make serving food a lil bit more fun and interesting for the visitors. The idea of choosing desserts is because it is easier to be served, as the acrobats will be serving in different ways, so dessert is lighter and easier. The windows idea is to have live performance but half exposed. Half exposed is to create curiosity in order to attract passengers along the street of the site.

Proposed Idea - Crit Session

The above proposed idea is a further development of the first idea. I developed the idea of half exposed here, where the acrobats will be performing and have different angels of mirrors in the space, to have the effects of half exposed live performance through mirrors, together with the curiosity intention from the outside. Below shows further design development.
