Le’VRILLE Project 1 - Semester 4 - Year 2 (2014) “by obeserving the gesture of students in our university, it pops out into my mind to create this design” A mini fun project to create a student’s hub and information centre to the students in our Taylor’s Lakeside University Campus. The idea initiate when I observed students where they tend to show different kind of sitting gesture when they hangout with their friends. Therefore, the design mostly giving out comfy, unique and fun sitting space for the students to hangout while waiting for their transportation to arrive and etc.
Design Concept “students here tend to show different kind of sitting style when they hangout with their friends� Retract from existing context, the concept blend in with existing greeneries walkway and also to obvious seen of human posture from students.
Perspective Sketch “blending in with surrounding context and being aware with user’s experience ” Artist’ impression on how the design blend in with context and giving the comfy space to hang out.
“A building that tries to bring in back the Chow Kit experience back into the market� Blessed with multi culture and race, Chow Kit Road blooms out all the unique experiences from foods, markets, people and etc. Thus, I decided to create an Asian Marketplace that gives out back the unique from multi culture dry foods. In addition, this building also give multi experiences as it has 4 different streets which are Indonesia Street, Malay Street, Chinese Street and Indian Street. Location : Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

“it all begins when I imagined playground to be on my site”

Do you realised in playground area, it is a potential to bring all communities in varies age group to spend their time and relax there. In the meantime, I also discovered that elderly just love to chill on the ground line while kids tend to climb up and down. From there, without realisation from the communities itself, creativities are expanding in the kid’s mind while the elderlies watching them playing. Creative Kindy wonderfully designed at the intersection of Jalan Templer and Jalan Selangor in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. The designed inspired by playground as an alternative concept and adapting Kaufmann’s research in design process (preparation, incubation, illumination and verification). issues; young couples are not giving full attention to their children when they are supposed to.
school system strictly more into physical education and lack of creativity education
Therefore, nurturing creativity in education based especially in kindergarten can be a new and best method to bring out new culture in our country especially in this stage of ages.
SITE STUDY “to design a building, one must get the flow that might happen to the building” As soon as I know I get to design a Kindergarten, I created a simple time table of a typical Malaysian’s Kindy schedule. From there, I able to understand the circulation, node, programmes and etc. This will help me into designing my own kind of Kindergarten.
