“The Process, the Awarded and the Untold”
Trees with 1.6m diameter or larger are being identified at site with its original topography, total of 115 of them. There are only two out of the 115 were affected and needed to be taken down, the two are identical. 1.6 meter is about the width of the base of the art installation. The idea was to freeze the original context of the location and the making process of the Villa. Vertical rods are the captured natures and the terrain. It is a frozen image of “movement” by its site context. Elongated volumetric of programmes are artificial, it is being designed and being put together to form the Villa. An act of mixing, matching and composing the planes (materials) is “the Process”.
“the Process” showed how the architect, client, consultants, materials, technologies, methodologies, environment, changes, decision making and the contexts (who, when, what and how) correlated to each other in realising the project. “the Process” leading to the “the Awarded” – Twinkle Villa won the PAM Awards 2017 Gold in Single Residential Category and being named Building of The Year. “the Untold” are the one being left behind, rejected, ignored, omitted, forgotten or unrealised but they are actually part of “the Process” and “the Awarded”.
