Project 1 

 

 

Philea

Home 

In this project , we(in group of 10) were to approach the community that in need , helping them by applying the knowledges we had learned as an architecture students. The community we served was an orphanage called Philea Home located in Kapar, Selangor which is in need of new furniture as the original one has broken . In response to Philea Home's need and to gain awareness among society, we designed and made them a series of furniture by reuse and recycle materials. We decided to do so as the furniture we made required lower embodied energy compared to the manufacturer and I believe using recycle materials to make furniture can catch more attention in public so that the society will start to aware the issues regarding the environment and human we are facing right now. Throughout the project, we have to submit a proper proposal, report and also a poster and a video. So in conclusion, what we learn in this project is not only how to help the needy but also many other thing that we cant really experience as a student.

 

PROJECT 2: NATURE AND US

 

As the environmental issues have gradually become more serious as it do have impacts of both mankind and earth badly, our school actually prepared this project for us to :

 

  • Recognize the effect of growth on the environment (nature and environment) 

  •  Explore the concept of environmental and ecological sustainability 

  •  Exemplify creativity in attempting to explore the current environmental circumstances 

  •  Recognize role and responsibility of an architect towards environment and society                                                          

 

In this project, we visited Taman Negara and through our investigation and observation we were to come out with a journal which will contain: 

(1) Nature & Us (group task) 

(2) Reflective essay (individual task)

 

As for group project , my partner and I decided to emphasis on 'NATURE AS COMMUNITY' We did a report after few times of dicussion together with the data collected from published materials, talking about how all these environmental issues happened and how the solutions. 

 

The Nature & Us is adopted as class project aim to encourage us to use our talents to raise awareness of contemporary environmental and social issues artistically. We are to capture interesting images that are concerned with people, resources, ecosystems during a trip to Taman Negara, Pahang. 

 

In a group of 2, me and my groupmate, Lee Yi Feng have to write a group journal and individual reflective essay about the nature environment after the trip to Taman Negara, Pahang.

 

By finishing this assignment, communication, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills also have been trained among us as we were doing the journal in group. Besides, I have a clearer vision about the citizenship and global perspectives as I get the chance to intearct with the nature and understand the probblem that are faced by it.
