Report From Little Tree part.2

I’m not Sherlock plays no Romeo

Cause life is worth more than a Ho

Can’t solve this puzzle I know the answer no

So what’s with you and your radio ?

Sending signals not clear where to go

Play the game won’t get no T.K.O

Can never let myself run out of ammo

Just like Barney acts cool the Rebound Bro

Yeah wished I was Matt Parkman cause that way I’ll be a hero

But I can’t even know if you have plus one or a zero

Hey girl I’d like to wrap it up with you but it aint end with O

Just like XOXO or the word popo

Passenger may success singing Let Her Go

But my success is to not let you go

( I want O – Hendro Prasetyo )

So it’s been two weeks since I landed my ass on one of the most beautiful Island in the world named Bali. And it’s been two weeks minus two days ever since I have been working on a whole new project of designing a Public Space in Makassar.

Yeah, two days after my arrival, I went to my office for the first time. A wooden and bamboo made small office located in a place called The Little Tree. After a short Introduction to the studio and a bit “Zing…” moment, my 30 something year old principle finally came with his curly shoulder-length hair and his police-like glasses hanging on his shirt neck. He shook my hand, introduced himself, and invited me to join in his Skype meeting with a client from Makassar.

Ya, tanpa banyak basa-basi, si pak principle langsung aja gitu ngajak saya meeting dengan klien via Skype. Saya yang notabene anak baru langsung aja dapet satu projek sendiri buat ngedesain sebuah Public Space plus Club House di sebuah residensial di Makassar bernama Insignia. Yang menarik adalah, si Principle ternyata termasuk aliran Gila, suka main-main , dan coba-coba dalam mendesain.

“ yeah, I think this project is gonna be fun. We can play around with the design and design some crazy stuff here. “

Begitulah kira-kira arahan pertama si bapak untuk saya dalam menegerjakan projek ini. Lantas ia menunjukan konsep masterplan yang sudah terlebih dahulu ia kerjakan untuk kemudian saya develop sesuka hati. Dan semenjak itulah, 2 minggu berlalu cepat hingga akhirnya, setelah beberapa kali trial and error , accept and rejection, titik dua kurang buka dan titik buka kurung tutup munculah sebuah konsep desain yang telah disetujui oleh ketiga belah pihak. Saya. Charlie the Principle. Dan Pak Wijaya sebagai perwakilan klien. Tiga orang yang kebetulan memiliki selera gila untuk bisa menerima desain seperti ini.

Sempat merasa terlalu Frank Gehry -ish, Saya kemudian mendesain 2 alternatif lain untuk projek ini hingga akhirnya saya mengajukan tiga alternatif. 2 alternatif yang saya memang suka, dan satu alternatif yang entah kenapa si pak boss bisa bilang “it’s also a legitimate alternative” meskipun saya sendiri sudah bilang kalau saya ga suka sama desainnya.

If this is just a competition entry or any college assignment, then I’ll be entirely satisfied with what I’ve done. But the thing is, this is a real life situation. What I draw, what I design, is going to be built. Yeah, B.U.I.L.T. So instead of felling satisfied, I’m feeling more afraid and excited of how things is gonna be.

I may going to have to draw the detailed engineering drawings myself since we don’t have drafter in the office. And I have completely no idea of how I’m going to supposed to draw those things. So yeah, I’m screwed. But I’m Psyched !

Anyway, Inspiral Architect is literarily expanding itself quite much at the moment. Setelah si jenius ini, kami baru aja kedatangan dua orang baru sebagai Intern, yang keduanya adalah bule. Satu seorang Intern pria di bidang marketing dari Jerman bernama Andy. Dan satu lagi seorang Intern wanita di bidang arsitektur dari Hungary bernama Andy. Ya, saya ga salah ketik. Dua-duanya memang bernama Andy.

So, we’re still expanding. There will be 4 more spots to fill. So if you’re interested, just send out your portfolio to info@inspiralarchitects.com like real soon. Maybe, just maybe if you’re going to be accepted, you’ll be assigned to help me develop the design for more, and of course draft the drawings. So yeah, come send your portfolio. I’d really like to see any of you here soon. Especially you ! no ! not you ! but you. yeah, even tough I know that you said that you just want to have a future in Design, and not architecture, But still. Just try and send. We’re playing with design here.

Well, I guess that is all the report for now. Guess It’ll be quite long before my other report. If you’ve just finished your final assignment and is currently enjoying your after project moment, please enjoy. If you’ve just graduated and is currently looking for job, then duhh~ lots offer out there. Just go out and choose one. If you’re currently studying in college, then God Forbid you are not enjoying that. It’s like the best time of your life. So if you haven’t enjoyed it, go out from your cage and do something crazy-responsible-fun. You may not have much time. And if you’re like me working in any office. Just enjoy your job, your office, your office mates, and your boss. If you can’t, QUIT.

Shoot I’ve said too much stuff already, that’s it I’m signing out. Bye Folks !
