Project 1 Memorials themed "Journey of the 5 senses"
From this project, we get to explore issues of spatial typologies and poetics through simple design. In a group of 5, we were to identify and analyze case studies to inform the design project, in this case, we had chosen the porcuincula de la milagrosa chapel. I had learned to create tectonic expressions of different spatial typologies which impact on the uses and experiential conditions of space. This project enables us to generate design through careful consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materiality and textures.

Project 2 Discovering the Site & its Genius Loci.
Through this project, we were to work with our previous groupmates to produce site analysis which documents, interprets and analyze the site context and the 'genius loci' of Pulau Besar. After having to understand the site, we were to come up with a concept design for a Visitor Interpretive Centre based on the site analysis conclusions individually. I have also used considerations that I had learnt in project 1 and implemented them on project 2 and project 3 in terms of precedents, spatial typologies and poetic spaces.
Project 3 Genius Loci - Visitors' Interpretive Center
In this project, i started to develop my ideas through sketches that i did. And the idea i give here is contrast and irregularity. I created a space that have sharp edges on the outside and while having defferent size of curtain wall and windows all over the window to provide interesting lights penetrating and having cave like experiences within the spaces such as incline walls, and roof.
