BLUER STUDIO OFFICE
[ An Office Project at my university ]
Moment: September - November, 2018
BlueR Studio is a film & video production company was set up in HCMC based on one big dream, in 2006. Here is their website: http://bluer.vn/
Their office, which is located at 20 Cong Hoa, Ward 12, Tan Binh District, HCMC, Vietnam, is like a warehouse with very large space and studio that they produce film & video and seperate rooms for each departments. So, based on this reference, I decided to make the project's space similar to the existing office: a warehouse-look on the office tower with space-in-space space, which not only ensure the private, silence for the production room but also connect people; to make the employees feel comfortable when they work.
"Built upon dream, BlueR embrace dreams. Dreams, that can stand for an idea, a concept, a vision, a story, a tune, a show, a film, a corporate, a brand, a campaign, a revolution... or anything haunts, nurtures and defines man. And everyday, we are turning those dreams into reality."
BlueR's slogan: "We BlueR, the dreamweaver."
Dream is everything to this company. Thay talk about their dream proudly all the time. So I choose "Dream" as my inspiration to make the space more BlueR, show their thought, ideal.
I choose President Place for my project, because of its look, its location, and view. President Place is also a Eco Building, which is recognized by LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) as Gold prize. Therefore, spaces in the tower have to bring an eco environment to users.
These elements lead to my concept: "Xanh Studio"/ " Phim trường xanh" ( "Xanh" is for the green of eco, and blue of the dream). But they conflict to ech others, such as to perform "dream", your space has to be dreamy, blink blink light, flow,... But the "warehouse-look" is raw, simple, strong,... And then, the eco element don't allow to use so much energy to make the lighting look impressive. So my mission is balance them all with the illusion effect which called "anamorphic", like your dream only make sense to you, while the others may feel empty, non-sense; and the lighting is almost used focusly for the working surrfaces; the hallway's light is the colors of BlueR, which not only embrace the traffic but also looks like there's another space in each room, they are changing like what we saw in the movies. Here is my Concept.
