  9. the act what I did (with my teammates)

  10. the act what I did (with my teammates) SKI-LIKE WOODEN BASE

  11. the act what I did (with my teammates) STRENGTHEN THE BASE

  12. the act what I did (with my teammates) MAINSTRUCTURE

  13. the act what I did (with my teammates) SUPPORTINGSTRUCTURE

  14. the act what I did (with my teammates) MAINFUNCTION

  15. the act what I did (with my teammates) SAFETY & COMFORT

  16. the product..

  17. the ‘real’ product… (on the test-day)

  18. the ‘real’ product… (on the test-day) it didn’t work!

  19. *This page is intentionally left blank

  20. the ‘winner’… the group who came up with the..

  21. the ‘winner’… Source: Lat (1992) ‘UPIH PINANG’ (an old and dry frond falling off from ‘pokokpinang’) (areca nut trees)

  22. by ‘manipulating’ the contour of the site & the simple gravitational law…

  23. it managed to be.. the most flexible, cheapest, simplest and the fastest ‘thing+man’ to reach the valley

  24. a question What were they doing during that ‘struggling week’?.. (…just to come up with that simple yet brilliant idea) ?

  25. Were they doing nothing? OR Were they kept thinking to produce something as ‘nothing’ as possible?

  26. I chose… not to answer the question

  27. what’s more important was… what I learnt from that…

  28. because in their own way,the actors of RUS101 have shown me the ‘beauty of simplicity’

  29. long before… I know the concept of

  30. ‘less is more’ German Pavilion at Barcelona (Ludwig Mies van derRohe, 1929) *(‘less is more’ is originally ‘a phrase’ from the poem of ‘"Andrea del Sarto" by Robert Browning)

  31. ‘doing more with less’ Biosphère Montréal (Buckminster Fuller,1967) *(Buckminster Fuller, 1895-1983: American architect, author, designer, inventor & futurist)

  32. ‘less, but better’ "Weniger, aberbesser" 606 Universal Shelving System (Dieter Rams, 1960) *(Dieter Rams, 1932- : German architect, industrial designer)

  33. ‘minimalist’ movement Church on the Water, Tadao Ando (1988) Rectangular Plates, Denton Cocker Marshall (2007) PiscinaLoca, Alvaro Siza (1966)

  34. or even the ‘zen’ philosophy Banryutei Rock Garden (dragonflytours-japan.com) Triggering senses (mydesignfolder.com) Zen Garden Sink, Gau Designs (2007)

  35. what I’ve learnt most but from that day was

  36. what I’ve learnt most but from that day was the power of ‘NOTHING’

  37. not only because the ‘upih’ had shown me how high the VALUE OF ‘NOTHINGNESS’

  38. and not also because I knew that we all came ‘OUT OF NOTHING’ ‘ex nihilo’

  39. but more so when I started to realize that we are still invisibly ‘NOTHING’ (‘singly’)

  40. but more so when I started to realize that we are still invisibly ‘NOTHING’ (‘singly’) although at the same time we are visibly ‘SOMETHING’ (‘wholly’)

  41. because as we are created from anatom (of ‘segumpal tanah’) (Source: microcosm.web.cern.ch) [1 atom = 340 picometer (x 10-12)]

  42. we actually are still nothing (Source: physics.fsu.edu) (because one atom is 99.9% empty space)

  43. but due to the ‘unity / oneness’

  44. of the the zillionsandcabillionsof atoms (hooked up by linked electrons) (Source: beyondbiology.org) they managed to form us as ‘SOMETHING’ (solid human figure)

  45. so

  46. as a ‘something’ namedhuman being, (we should always realized that) we are ‘designed’ by the GOD to be
