Project 1- Green Info-Shelter: Exploring The Environment Poetics

In this project, we are divided into groups with two students and were assigned a design assessment about a green info-shelter that respond to the basic natural site context. The location of the placement for the structure designed is at an open area in Taylor's University. The designed structure should serve the purpose of providing info on events and activities in CODA (Exhibition Room) & SABD (School of Architecture, Building & Design).

From this project, we have learnt how to develop our design to suit the related site context in terms of the ventilation, sun path, local needs and cultural etc. Besides that, we also learnt how to design without ignoring the importance of sustainability towards the environment. In order to achieve sustainability, we get to learnt the types of material that are more sustainable and able to apply it appropriately on our design.

Project 2: Nature Appreciation Center 

This project required us to design a nature appreciation center on the site that was chosen by the lecturers. In this project, we need to consider the site context such as site topography, climate, existing structures and nature approaches etc. Besides that, the nature appreciation center should be designed in a form of clustered spatial typology. The objective of this project is to develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design. Besides that, it will also help the students to develop their ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as make poetry with the buildings.

From this project, I have further enhance my experience of how to design a public space that concern on the sustainability. Besides that, I have also enhance my 3d modelling skill and also photoshop skill.
