Community Architecture Magazine 05

ARCH-CADE

The logo is an embodiment of two main elements that represents us when viewed from different perspectives. It could be noticed as "A" and "C" which characterizes community architecture. Meanwhile, it symbolizes "50" from an isometric perspective, in a way stands for fifty of us in the community architecture.

WhatisArchCade?

Arch-Cade is a portmanteau of the word "architecture" & "cascade". Our cascade could be defined as a series of events during these seven weeks, a chain of knowledge and experience that streams in a chronological order. Located at USJ 12 Subang Jaya, we intent to build a gabion outdoor furniture for people with disabilities. It is a community architecture project with an intention to contribute to the society.

The Community Architecture project is part of the efforts of the students to build lasting friendships with the communities and cultivate in them a sense of interest and respect for the different people groups in Malaysia. This will grow the students with a BIG heart and make them responsible professionals.

TYPICALCARNIVAL NOTYOUR

It was the first carnival that we held, and it serves as the first stage of reflection for us regarding teamwork and management.

We would not deny that there were negative feedbacks for our first carnival, but we were glad for the responses that we received from our community. Our flaws motivated us to improve ourselves for the upcoming carnival. Nevertheless, this carnival strengthened our bond as a community. We could assure that the next carnival would be a blast.

Not Your Typical Carnival marks the starting point of our event that was opened to the public.

For the second event of Arch-Cade, a Diverse Talk Sharing Session is hosted, with Ang Qiao Ting and Tan Yin Yee as our speakers. This sharing session discussed about how architecture could bring back the community together, creating a distinct dialogue between the users and the space. Both of our speakers are high achievers as an architecture student. Ang Qiao Ting was a PAM Award Student and Tan Yin Yee was a diploma full scholar.

Through their advices based on their past experiences, we are well prepared for our Design Studio course for the upcoming semester. We learned the essence of designing for the community, the spirit of teamwork, timemanagement skills, and the importance of positivity in our education journey.

REJUVENATE THE KEBUN

THE FINAL EVENT

For the past six weeks, we have fundraised, held events, designed and built furniture. These series of preparations lead us to hold a successful final carnival - Rejuvenate the Kebun. During this carnival, we had singing and dancing performances prepared by our community and the P3KU community as well. Besides stage performances, several game activities were held, which includes ping pong toss, poker cards memory game, and musical chair. Our community was separated into groups alongside with one P3KU member for each group to compete with others in these game activities. From the set up of this carnival until the end, the bond within our community strengthened and fond memories were created. Due to heavy rain, the progress for the set up of this event was delayed. Nonetheless, this carnival was made successful because of our dedication and team spirit.

REWORKSHOP

The first project for Furniture Workshop was a group project to construct a 1:1 scale prototype modular slot bench with given dimensions and materials. The purpose of this project was to hone our workmanship skills in designing and creating a furniture with proper techniques, using suitable power tools, hand tools, and woodworking machines.

Each group consists of four to five members, and was given a drawing that indicates the dimensions of materials provided and exploded axonometric view of the final product. As expected, all groups cooperated well to finish this project within a day, without any injuries.

PROJECTBRIEF

The "Production" project of Community Architecture for this semester was located at Kelab Kebun Komuniti Anak Istimewa P3KU, USJ 18 Subang Jaya. The challenge that we encountered in this project was to design an innovative modular outdoor furniture by utilizing sustainable materials for the USJ 18 community garden. Regarding the project brief, the outdoor

Aforementioned, the site for this project is Kelab Kebun Komuniti Anak Istimewa P3KU, USJ 18, Subang Jaya and it is a friendly community garden. Volunteers from the disabled community manages the crops on the site. Hence, the outdoor furniture that we propose would need to cater to the community in terms of their social activities, physiques and needs. Due to the site being outdoor, the materials used for the furniture should be weatherproof and durable.
