Community Service Intiative

Community Service Intiative

The community-based services in the CSI module for SABD are to expose students to the real-community living in real-life situation. We are required to work together as a team for architectural, culture, and environmental enhancing activities in the communities of different socio-economic status and social groups. There several themes to be chosen to serve the community, ours  are to serve the homeless in the selected site. Our site is located at Jalan Petaling which mean after we design, it have to placed at the site in real. Our design idea basically is a hammock, because we think that homeless most importantly is finding a place to sleep. However, hammock is too expensive in market price, then we use simple and recycled materials that can be found easily in site so that the homeless can learn by themself to make themself as their own property.

​

The category chosen is self-sustaining community.

Final Proposal

Reflection:

Through this project, we have learnt to exposed to the real world installation and have to think a lot more critically to solve an issue. We have solve the placement of our design to everywhere if possible to fit our concept and idea. I find that this assignments is quite related to the architecture world as architect's main job is to solve issue. It is good to know about how to serve the community with our architectural skill.
