REFLECTION

FROM THIS PROJECT I HAD LEARN WHAT IS PASSIVE DESIGN AND HOW IT AFFECT THE BUILDING. I HAD ALSO LEARNT HOW THE PASSIVE DESIGN WORK BETWEEN OUR ENVIRONMENT AND BUILDING. NOWADAYS, PEOPLE NOT REALLY TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT SO THAT GREEN BUILDINGS ARE VERY IMPORTANT WHICH WE CAN APPLY GREEN FEATURES TO BUILDINGS TO SAVE ENERGY USE, MATERIALS USE AND GIVING GOOD RESPOND TO OUR ENVIRONMENT. I NEED TO THANKS TO THE TUTORS THAT BRINGING US TO SINGAPORE TO EXPLODE MORE THAN ONLY MALAYSIA, I HAD NEVER SEEN SO BEAUTIFUL GREEN BUILDING IF I DIDN'T GO FOR THIS MEMORABLE AND MEANINGFUL TRIP, THIS IS A REALLY GOOD OPPOTUNITY AND LUCILKY I DIDNT MISS IT. FROM THIS PROJECT I HAD ALSO LEARNT HOW TO APPLY PASSIVE DESIGN IN MY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO TO IMPROVE AND HELP MY DESIGN. AS MY STUDIO PROJECT IS TO DESIGN A (VIC) VISITOR'S INTERPRETATION CENTRE WHICH LOCATED IN KEDAH, BUJANG VALLEY. BUJANG VALLEY IS A BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL SUBURBAN AREA BUT IN WEATHER THERE ARE STILL HOT AND RAINY. SO HE PASSIVE DESIGN HELP MY VIC TO AVOID THE WEATHER PROBLEM AND ALSO MERGE TO BUJANG VALLEY.
