I was able to learn about energy efficiency in buildings. protection of building structures against lightning strikes, natural lighting and ventilation, air-wells, mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning. minimum area of rooms in residential buildings. minimum dimensions of latrines, water-closets and bathrooms. height of rooms in residential buildings, shophouses, school, places of public resorts and in other buildings and so on. I will be sure to give greater consideration to space, light and ventilation in any space that I design in the future.
REFLECTION
A designed space would be poorly built, and unsafe for its occupants, if proper space, light and ventilation requirements are not followed. Humans and other living organisms highly depend on these 3 factors in their day to day lives.
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE : ASSIGNMENT 01
SEMESTER 07 Through this project I was able to obtain a substantial amount of knowledge on the standards that are followed with regards to space, light and ventilation. The information covered under this topic are extremely crucial, specially for us as aspiring interior designers.

I was able to learn about how to keep the company name in line with act, corporate identity, SSM, LAM & MIID registration, business profile, business direction, vision & mission, calling card, letterhead, organization structure and size of organization. I also learnt to an extent how a financial outlay works (capital, monthly expenditure/overhead, annual expenses, revenue, staff salaries/bonuses) including profit margin estimate. Other takeaways from this project include, the services offered as per act, marketing strategies, revenue & income potential (fees), how business adapts to changes and how to make it future Proof. For example WFH due to Covid-19.
REFLECTION
Although these are the very basics, I feel encouraged and interested to learn more about formation of design practice and managing projects.
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE : ASSIGNMENT 03
SEMESTER 07 I really enjoyed working on this project. It feels good to visualize building up a company doing something that I love doing. Before this, I was fairly unaware of the procedures and things that need to be taken into consideration when starting a sole proprietorship in the interior design field.

As designers we are obligated to critically think and analyze whether our design are well suited for their needs and does not pose as a threat to their health or safety. I look forward to designing spaces that are more well-rounded and checks the requirements set out by the legislation that exists for the wellbeing of all users.
REFLECTION
I wish obtain deeper knowledge about standards, scoring(GBI) and building by-law applications, enough so that it becomes instinctual application when working on actual projects.
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE : ASSIGNMENT 04
SEMESTER 07 This is yet another enlightening project that I have completed. i came to realize that a lot of us, including me, have not been very concious about the actual safety regulations as we have been deeply immersed into pushing our creativity and imagination through our designs. However, in all honestly I do feel that it is actually possible to apply these standards and balancing creative exploration along with it.
To conclude, some important values that I have taken away from all the projects include, acting with integrity, adopting ethical approaches, providing a high standard of service, acting in a way that promotes trust in the profession and demonstrating a commitment to continuing professional development.
REFLECTION
The module syllabus has been conveyed to us in a easy to understand and organized manner by our lecturer and tutor Ms. Yasmin, and I truly appreciate the way she has inspired us to learn more and build interest in expanding our knowledge.
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
SEMESTER 07 All things considered, I can confidently say that I have enjoyed this module more than I expected at the beginning. I do believe that this by far one of the most important modules that has been covered and I wish we could have prepared even further for real-life scenarios thoughout the entire course, without losing the sense of creativity.
