Project 1- Memorials themed ‘Journey of the 5 senses’
In this project, me and my groupmates are required to design two memorials for the recent incidents which is Sewol Ferry incident and MH 17 plane accident. Before that, we are required to conduct two precedent studies where one is based on modern and the other one is ancient. The buildings that we have chosen are USS Arizona Memorial and Pantheon. Throughout this project, I am able to identify and explain different spatial types in architecture, and how they inform spatial use and experience. Besides that, I am also able to Identify and analyze case studies to inform the design project. Moreover, I have successfully created tectonic expressions of different spatial typologies which impact on the uses and experiential conditions of space. Next, I have generated design through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materiality and texture. Last but not least, I am able to produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas.

Project 2-GENIUS LOCI: Site Analysis & Concept Development
For this project, me and groupmates are required to conduct a site analysis which we have chosen and in this case Site 1, also known as 'Dragon's Tail'. The site is located at the Pulau Besar, Melaka. Then, we have to produce a detail site analysis board and also our concept development for the VIC that we are going to design. From this project, I am able to produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context and the ‘genius loci’ of place. Then, I am able to produce a concept design for a Visitor Interpretive Centre based on the site analysis conclusions too.




Project 3-GENIUS LOCI: VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE (VIC)
In this final project, I have chosen to go digital for my digital model, site context and spatial experiences by utilising Rhinoceros and 3Ds Max. Throughout this project, I am able to generate design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context. Furthermore, I am also able to generate design through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materials/texture. Next, I have succesfully designed a small scale community building which response to the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), functional program and users’ experiences. Last but ot least, I have managed to produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), modelling and verbal presentation to communicate and visualize architectural design and ideas.
