STUDIOWORKS

PROJECT 1: 

STEWARDSHIP & PERSONAL LOGO

This is my first project about personal logo and my own portrait and this is one of briefing to new started to new fresh student HBP

PROJECT 2:

NATURAL & MAN-MADE STRUCTURES

        For this project,I was required to produce a black and white sketch of a natural structure that can be found around USM Main Campus such as trees and plants, insects, animals, other creatures etc.The sketch should include the elements of light and shadow.  I also required to do write up using ‘uppercase architectural lettering’ for describing the object chosen for the sketch.This project introduced to us for enhance students’ understanding of  basic elements and principles of design through observation of existing natural and man-made structures.

    Besides that, to enhance students’ creativity in presenting their ideas selectively and graphically.Next,To nourish students’ skills in creative thinking, observation, sketching, rendering, colouring, writing description and composing graphical images.

                                       

PROJECT 3A: OBJECTS CREATION:Free form sculpture
Tadaa..haha I`m also very disappointing with my own sculpture because I already organize to do different sculpture however it is result because chasing the time for tomorrow I have camping..but I appreciate what I have done it.My sculpture is represent as earth ball sphere that mention about violence all people when they did not wise in manage the source of earth then the side effect will affected to us. 

PROJECT 3B: OBJECTS CONNECTION: A Comfortable CHAIR
In group of 3, I was required to produce a structural model of a wooden L-shape seating object that combines a table and chair. Besides aesthetical factors, students should also consider the function of the furniture as an outdoor comfortable resting spot for HBP community and visitors as it will be placed near the HBP pond-waterfall . The size of that L-shape seating object should not be more than 2.8m x 2.0m x 1.2m (length x width x height) dimension.The theme of that seating object is ‘UNITY’, but each group is free to choose their specific concept that is relevant to the stipulated theme.The scale of the model is 1:5 and there is no restriction in colours and materials to be used for the model construction) (new or recycled materials) .What can I learned from this project is to improve students’ ability in applying suitable elements and principles of design in producing a functional structure.Next, to expose the students to the challenges of designing a small structure that is a result of a connection or combination of two or more objects and

to improve students’ skills in developing and communicating the ideas through conceptual scale model making.

PROJECT 4: PRESENTATION DRAWINGS

Did you see before project and after project progressing...actually we required to build a comfortable L-shaped chair with main materials timber.This is our project 3 object connection.

This is my product that called Makisu Chair because we inspired by Makisu that also known as the bamboo mat that place sushi.So,it also ergonomic for people who used it. I was required to produce a plan and elevations (front, right, left and rear) drawings of the wooden Comfortable CHAIR. The drawings should be coloured based on the actual condition of their respective Comfortable CHAIR (not based on the colour of their structural model) and drawings should be in A3 size and 1:20 scale.
 This project to introduce students with basic technical or presentation drawings as a medium of communication in built environment.Moreover, to enhance students’ skills in communicating the ideas and presenting their design through a set of scaled 2D and 3D drawings.Furthermore, to improve students’ skills in rendering, colouring and composing graphical images.

PROJECT 5:  
SENSE OF PLACE: NEIGHBORHOOD & COMMUNITY

For this project, I need to make a self-visit (in group) to the chosen area to observe and gather relevant information about the components or elements of the neighborhood area. The results from the observation and the collected information then will be analyzed and presented graphically in Project 5a and 5b. I would like to choose   Sunway Mutiara, Batu Maung, Penang as my site visit due to enhance students’ understanding of basic elements and components of neighborhood planning through their observation of the existing neighborhood area.It is also to enhance students’ understanding of the main physical and non-physical factors that should be considered in planning and designing a layout plan for neighborhood area and expose the students with basic planning technical knowledge.On the other hand,we can enhance our ability in critically analyzing the common issues of neighborhood or residential area development, especially in terms of site context, human and community needs and the possible effect of the development to its surroundings

and expose to the task of gathering information from local authorities and incorporating relevant information in their planning-related studio projects.Moreover, to improve students’ skills in analytical thinking, observing, sketching, rendering, colouring, writing description and composing graphical images.

PROJECT 6:

INTEGRATED PROJECT:

DESIGN & BUILD ‘AN AMPHITHEATER STAGE’

     In a group of 16 members, all 12 groups of RUS104 need to design a comprehensive studio project that includes the aspects of site analysis, architectural and interior design, structure and material selection, simple costing, project management, and construction technique of the scale size building (model).For this purpose, each group needs to design a single storey stage structure and amphitheatre (for ‘live performance’ function) by following the required design processes like conducting site analysis, sparking conceptual ideas and producing schematic design before continuing with the design development.The design must consider the topography condition of the given site (next to the end of the HBP E08 Studio Block facing the Penang Bridge) and tropical climate of Malaysia which is characterized by heavy rain, intense sunshine, windless condition etc

      The permanent stage design must also be able to withstand loads (including wind load).

                    The maximum size of the stage is 4.0m (width), 6.0m (length) and 5.0m (height) .

      The main  material of the stage is timber.

PROJECT 7: EXHIBITION (RUS104 XZBITION 2013) Exhibition, be it a large scale like World’s Fair exposition or a small one-designer solo shows, is one of the most effective ways to present, share or sell a selection of items to the specific crowd or people at large.  The items cover a wide range of displays, from natural structures or objects to countless form of human making e.g. drawings, paintings, crafts, sculptures, photos, written documents, industrial or research products, archaeological artifacts, or even students’ studio works. However, the success of any exhibition not only depends on the excitement or significant value of the items displayed, but also on several other factors that involve the aspects of exhibition planning, design and management. Architects, interior/exhibition designers or curators may be needed to design and create an effective structure, space and environment for displaying items with the creative concept or theme. But on the other hand, non-design based actors may also be needed to plan and manage the exhibition event from inception to closing ceremony, to ensure that the event is effectively organized and thus, reaches its targeted group. PROJECT 8: LIVE PERFORMANCE (RUS104 Performance & Awards Night 2013) A live performance offers a unique, warmth and ‘personal connection’ between the performer or the presenter with the audience. A live stage show like drama, dancing, singing, orchestra or musical theatre offers some added excitement that the static exhibition or conventional presentation is unable to play in delivering the ideas and messages to the crowd. With the creative design of costumes and props, backdrops, multimedia shows and sound & light direction, a live performance gives a unique ambience and sense of entertainment for the audience to experience, thus making it as important vehicle of communication.
