PROJECT 1

 

THIS PROJECT IS RELATED TO OUR STUDIO DESIGN PROJECT IN SEMESTER 2 WHICH RELATES TO A DOMESTIC SIZE BUILDING (I.E. A RETREAT HOUSE, ETC.) WE ARE EXPECTED TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF BUILDING SERVICES BY PROPOSING AND DESIGNING THE MOST APPROPRIATE SYSTEMS FOR THE BUILDING WHICH INCLUDE, ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SYSTEM, COLD WATER AND HOT WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM, SEWERAGE AND SANITARY SYSTEM, DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

 

THEREFORE WE ARE REQUIRED TO PRODUCE APPROPRIATE DRAWINGS AND DIAGRAMS WHICH INCLUDE SPECIFICATIONS, SYMBOLS, LEGENDS, IMAGES, TEXTS, ETC. TO DESCRIBE THE PLANNING AND INSTALLATION OF ALL THE BUILDING SERVICES. ADDITIONALLY, WE MAY ALSO INCLUDE SPECIFIC CLAUSES FROM THE UNIFORM BUILDING BY-LAW (UBBL) OR OTHER RELEVANT ACTS, LAWS OR GUIDELINES WHICH RELATE TO THE PROPOSED SYSTEMS INTO THEIR PRESENTATION BOARDS. 

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. I HAD GAINED SO MANY KNOWLEDGE AND BENEFITS FROM THIS PROJECT.

 

THEN, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK TO MY TEAMMATES THAT ALL OF THEM PUTTING AFFORT FOR THIS PROEJCT AND WE ARE HELPING EACH OTHER TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS TO FINISH THESE TWO BOARDS. I FELT GLAD TO GROUP WITH THEM AS I HAD ALSO IMPROVED LEADERSHIP AND MANAGING SKILLS DURING THIS PROJECT. REALLY APRECIATED EVERYONE. LAST, I WOULD THANK TO ALL TUTORS THAT GUIDED US IN THIS PROJECT WHICH ACCOMPANY US AND CORRECT US FROM THE BEGINNING TILL THE END. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
