INTRODUCTION

This course exposes students to the basic understanding of elements and principles of design. Students will be trained in all basic aspects of design, graphic principles, media of presentations, types of drawings, lettering, sketching, 2D & 3D drawing techniques, complete presentation drawings and model making. This course also trains students to enhance their creativity and perception through design process that involves the development of design concept, the application of design principles and problem-solving approach and thus effective communication of design ideas. By integrating the skills of design with the basic knowledge of structure and services, material, construction methods and simple costing, the transdisciplinary guided students are expected to be able to design objects and sustainable small-scale building from early planning stages right up to the production of presentation drawings with the clear understanding of the contribution of various disciplines in the built environment.
 
OBJECTIVES

The course aims to train prospective students in the field of built environment to appreciate the value of aesthetics through design that consider the various fields of knowledge in built environment and use it as an important aspect in the planning and creating of objects, space, and small structures in sync with the environment.

PROJECT 6: AMPHITHEATRE STAGE

PROJECT 6: AMPHITHEATRE STAGE

        PRESENTATION BOARD

When I heard DR.Mazran explain this project I'm start nervous. Why???Why?? because for me this is biggest project for us. We need co-operate together to complete this project. The title for this project is DESIGN & BUILD AMPHITHEATRE STAGE. So we need to design and construct the model of amphitheatre stage. I'm fell so lucky because I'm in group 1 and my studio master is awesome lecture that is DR.Mazran and all my group member are very talented such as Puteri,Joshua,Nadia Zaini,Firas Azmi and Chai Mei. All of them are very good in design team. Event I'm also in design team but I really learn from them because some of them from diploma in architecture so their have many experience. 

The duration was given 6 week for us to finish up this project. So all of us very give commitments for this project. For 2nd week we need to present about our concept and design. We had meeting almost everyday and stay up to complete this. I start felt sleepless and so tired. Yeahh my life turn to be like Zombie and my eye turn to be Panda. So design team complete the presentation board while the non-design team complete the progress report to submit on Friday. I'm glad and happy everyone cooperated well to finish up this.

PROJECT 3: OBJECT CREATION

PROJECT 3: OBJECT CREATION

                   PROJECT 3B: OBJECT CONNECTION AND    L- SHAPE CHAIR

This is the first group project for us.This chair was design by Yii one of my groupmate. At 1st we come out with our own design L-shape chair and we already discuss to choose the simple and easy for us to construct and making the model L-shape chair. So our team was agree to choose this design because it simple and it suitable if we want to place near at pond. the most importance it is the "UNITY" concept of wooden L-shape chair

figure 1: Sketch n design by Yii Sy Lih

The material that we use is Balsa wood because it easy to handle n shaped.

figure 2: Model in the making..yawww let spend more time at studio..

We use Buncho poster colour instead on the Balsa wood to get more effect. Finally we presented on paper A3 with the appropriate scale..

figure 3:Front elevation 

   

figure 4: Rear elevation

                         

figure 5 : Side elevation

This is our final product the "Fish Bone" L-shape chair. We are very satisfied the end this product. Thank you my friend we also "UNITY" team :)

                                                           View 4 : Rear View

 No more drawing for this project.This project quite challenge because we actually have only 4 days to do this project before go Pimpin Siswa on Friday. (STRESS! feel like going home )

At first I want to make a structure with a combination of triangle and the structure moving like spiral but it failed because i have no time to create and design it properly. My feeling go down & I fell so stress. Time is very important for this project. Everything I do my mind also think how to create a new design. I start to cry at the night because I know i don't have enough time for this project . Hey girl be strong take it as challenge for you .Yes keep smiling and think positive :) 



Next day while I'm eating my mind and eye start focus at the spoon. I got a new idea to use this spoon as my medium for this project. The most importance is how to make it look harmony. By the repetition and the arrangement of spoon it will create the harmony concept. The material that I use for this project is spoon, glue (UHU), polystyrene (as a base) and water colour (black).

Alhamdulilah finally  it done with successful. Thank Mom and Dad that always give me advice and encourage me to continue and end up this project. :)

PROJECT 2 : NATURAL & MAN-MADE STRUCTURES

PROJECT 2A: NATURAL STRUCTURE

The second project student should apply shadow and light on the drawing. We required to use pencil sketching technique on a natural structure which we could found in USM. For this project 2A I already have chosen a small bamboo tree in front of E40.

This is the real picture that i was took for my reference to sketch

AND

This is the FINAL RESULTS that I was produce for my drawing.

PROJECT 2B: MAN-MADE STRUCTURE

I choose the bridge that connects to HBP to block E40 or also known Resource Centre.

This is because the function of resource centre for student HBP. This place provide many references and good facilities for us.
