1.0 Introduction 1.1 Objectives 1 To encourage analytical and critical study of the principles, 2 To solve design problems in relation to sustainability issues (natural lighting,site analysis) 3 To design spaces incorporating artificial and daylighting (when necesssary)
1.2 Brief Site Analysis
The brief calls for a Kajang Art Centre that revivify the identity of its genius loci. Jalan Sulaiman (my chosen site) is vivid the boundary across old dilapidated building and new high rise building flanking each other opposite by the roadside. People come,stay and go in a city keep progressing. What they intersect & leave behind is carefully stored in my proposed Kajang Art Centre.

2.0 Precedent Study & Analysis Construction Method & Detail
2.1 Roof system // Steel framing Overview Project name: Gallery of Casa Borrero Location: Alosno, Spain Area: 1235.0 m² Architect: Jose Gómez Mora, Daniel Montes Project Year : 2019 .
Alosno is a small village in "Andévalo", a subregion of the Province of Huelva in the southwest of Spain. It is a place known for a special type of Flamenco music called Fandango, world-famous charcuterie Jamón Ibérico, and close proximity to the mines of Tharsis, and thus to its English colonial architecture. In this context, we were commissioned to design a single family house, described as "traditional" by our clients
Advantages
Disadvantages
1 Fast and fleexible to assemble 2 Safe and secure 3 Thermal and noise insulation 4 Water proof and fire prevention 5 Easy to maintain 6 Resistant to strong wind and Seismic performance
1 Little resistance towards fire compared to concrete 2 Susceptible to buckling 3 Strength of steel member is subjected to cyclic loading (fatigue structure) 4 Hight material cost 5 Design limitation (prefabricated)
Reason
of
choice
Local material that can be easily sourced in Malaysia, longer life span which aids in cost saving,blends in with roofscape of local context harmoniously Drainage layer

2.2 Facade system // Perforated brick facade Overview Project Location: Area: Architect: Project
name: Da
Year
Termitary Nang District, 80.0 Tropical :
House Vietnam m² Space 2014
Termitary House is mainly built with baked bricks which are also a traditional material in the local area. They are the very material to that have been used for the construction of the mysterious ancient Champa towers. The ceilings are casted with original concrete, and the floors are covered with terrazzo in dark colors. All furniture is made with the timber from the roof of the old house, which helps make the total actual cost of the construction a significant saving (about under 22,000 usd).
Construction Method & Detail 1 Spread a layer of mortar on ground slab 2 Lay bricks based on Flemish bond 3 Remove the header bricks to create void 4 Spread mortar again to fill the joints between bricks

Disadvantages
1 Low construction cost compared to RC 2 Easily found, constructed and maintained 3 Provide great natural ventilation between interior and exterior space 4 Provide visual permeability between in and out 5 Do not require painting, coating or feature complicated maintenance work 6 Aesthetically pleasing (even when aged)
1 Water penetration (Insufficient rain protection) 2 Height limitation of brick wall 3 Low tensile strength

Reason of choice
5
Easily found locally, provide ventilation and visual permeability while ensuring privacy 6
7 Perforated brick with voids
Large inter-floor space
Lot of holes, together with the large inter-floor space, allows breeze and light to get to all the corners of the house, even the hardest-to-access areas.

2.3 Facade system // Perforated metal screen
Construction Method & Detail
Overview Project Location: Area: Architect: Project
name:Leawood Speculative Leawood, KS, United 1695.0 EI Year :
Office States m² Dorado 2013
Standing in stark contrast to the beige, small-windowed, mansard-roofed professional buildings that are the norm in this part of suburban Kansas City, the 18,000 square-foot, two-story office building has a simple, rectangular floor plan within a concrete structure that features an all glass enclosure with a carefully positioned exterior perforated metal scrim system that helps regulate heat gain throughout the year.
Advantages
Disadvantages
1 Economic alternative to louvers 2 Low maintenane cost 3 Lightweight and durable 4 Prevent vandalism 5 Longer life span 6 Do not require repainting 7 Aesthetically pleasing 8 Heat gain regulator
1 Light scratching during production 2 Susceptible to corrosion (due to outdoor weather) 3 Vulnerable to major strength loss at very high temperature 4 High material cost 5 Design limitation (prefabricated)
Reason
of
Integrated building envelope The glass envelope includes carefully positioned perforated metal solar shading. The scrim system helps to regulate solar heeat gain throughout the year, making the building energy efficient
Movable Perforated Metal Screem
choice
Attractive visual appearance, stands out from the row of concrete shophouses,creating a visual Landmark. It shields interior spaces from harsh daylight.More importantly, it highlights the rhythm of solids and voids especially when interior spaces are lit up at night
Parallel panel to window To the south, panels run parallel to the windows, removed at strategic locations (hallways, doorways) to open views across the entire interior floor plan. To the east and west, panels take the form of angled vertical louvers, their spacing varied according to shading needs of the rooms inside.

2.4 Structural system // Steel framing
Column base to foundation connection
Overview Project Location: Area: Architect: Project
name: Eames Los Aneles, United 566.0 Charles and Ray Year :
House States m² Eames 1949
The house is situated on a three-acre site on top of an 150-foot cliff that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The site is a flat parcel on otherwise steep land that creates a retaining wall to the west. The response to this condition was a concrete retaining wall that ties together the two boxes separated by a courtyard that make up the parti of the residence. Along with the retaining concrete wall, a simple steel frame was used for the structure of the house. The steel frame used 4-inch H-columns for the walls and 12-inch deep web joists for the roof. The steel frame was filled in with different solid and transparent colored panels arranged to create a shifting light in the interior throughout the day.
Composite steel decking
Disadvantages
Advantages 1 High durability 2 Light weight 3 Easy to install (not require expertise) 4 High flexibility 5 High adaptability 6 Does not have massive presence
1 High maintenance cost 2 Susceptible to corrosion (due to outdoor weather) 3 Vulnerable to major strength loss at very high temperature 4 Required consistent vigilance to prevent rust
Reason
of
choice
High design flexibility caterd for different Column to beam design requirement. It saves construction time connection (lightweight structural system is easys to install) and allow longer life span than timber structure.
