Architectural Design Project

Project 1 - Site Analysis

In project 1, we are allowed to choose our own tutor for the rest of the whole semester. Those who are in the same tutor's group are required to work together at the Project 1 - Site Analysis. 

The site is located at Jalan Hang Kasturi, in front of the Central Market. It is located at the very strategic  position which connect to several key spot. However, our site is a network without  a core. Central Market stand as a very critical landmark spot, however when years passed, it lose it idently and also reputation no matter locally or international. Central Market also used to become a gathering spot for artist. After economic crisis, , Central Market was renovated and become a commercial block. Those artist are hidden are the back alley and some has left.

Learning Outcome:

1. Formulate a simple brief that include appropriate architectural programme and planning

within a selected architectural context

2. Analyse case studies to gain understanding of architectural responses and strategies of an

intentional design strategy to inform the design project

3. Conduct contextual and user analysis in the pre-design phase.

Final Project - Creativity Hub

In Final Project, we are required to come out a programme for our project due to the issue of the site. It is not matter encounter or address the issue, we have to create the programme to the community.

Learning Outcome:

4. Produce design development drawings for a selected portion of design with a suitable level of complexity 

5. Design with considerations of building performance (thermal comfort, acoustic and lighting), regulatory frameworks, and health and safety considerations. 
6. Produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling, verbal presentation and a design report to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas.

In conclusion, this is our final project of the whole degree course. I have fully completed my Bachelor of Science In Honor (Architecture) and I have learned a lot of Architectural knowledge from this 3 years. I have learned software skill, presentation skill, architectural design idea and the most importance - Time Management. What I have learned in this 4 years will be effectively helping me in the future. Architecture is full of inspiration and exploration, it related to human and environement. Building is a relationship and balance between humanity and environment.

Internship Training and Report

Internship Training and Report

This module aims to introduce students to the requirements, activities and operations involved in an architectural and construction practice. The objective of the module is to facilitate the involvement of students in professional attachments to architectural practices to help us develop an understanding of the general nature, principles and procedure of law and legislation as applied to architectural drawings, especially the building by-laws. In the process of the internship, I am exposed to the submission process and the range of contract documentation besides the usual design stages.

For this module, I was interned at Clement Wong Architecture. The training period commenced at 3^rd January to 10^th March (9 weeks). During this intensive 9 weeks, I was assigned to attend to different tasks from design stage to contract documentation with several meetings and site visits along the way. 

To sum up, I have learnt two different knowledges during this 2 months internship. Firstly, Architecturally I improve my software skill which is Autocad to draw technical detail drawings. On the other hand, I have learnt more knowledges from Project Management about the contractual, legal documents by architects, and construction site. I appreciate that I have an opportunity to learn some of the construction knowledges. It is important to gain some information from the construction site. In university, we will learn about SPACE AND TIME, when we come to real industrial world, we learn one more which is COST. I have to thank to my boss and colleague that give me so much pleasure chance to learn that I am not be able to learn in university. Lastly, after internship we will be able to find our own direction or decision of our path in our future.
