PROJECT 01 NARRATIVE PROGRAMMING

In this project, I was assigned to work with the MLE team to propose a post pandemic programming of a new working environment, according to the focus matters of the Ministry of Education + Ministry of Wellness, which drive to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a new global education goal (SDG 4).

In addition, we are to choose suitable ‘entities/companies’ that represents our chosen Ministry and propose a conceptual design of an object that reflects the chosen issues and determine a suitable program to be offered on the respective office level.

[HER]TOPIA ISSUE: Lack in physical health Millions of women and girls around the world are stigmatized, excluded and discriminated against simply because they menstruate. [HER]TOPIA aims to encourage female users to exercise as one of the factors causing menstrual cramps is due to exercise deficiency.

Thus, this object is for users to exercise in a relax manner hence the elevated posture of the bike and feel the cool air supplied from the central system with the kinetic energy generated from the bike that is converted into electrical energy to run this selfsustainable system. The blood-shaped wall is a 'touch and feel' display providing education on different types of period blood colors and what it means.

PROJECT 03 INTELLIGENCE BUREAU In continuation from Project 1, we are required to create an engaging workspaces that leads to transformation and growth, shift the culture towards engagement and productivity as well as integrating a sense of community will remain important to the future workplace.

The proposed site is located next to Lakeside, Taylor’s University. In addition, rethinking the power of culture and space for insightful experience, a space that boost employee engagement and vitally by the creative use of space, flow with powerful effect on the human psyche Located in next to Taylor's University Lakeside Campus

DESIGN STATEMENT Menstrual Hygiene Day (MH Day) is a global advocacy platform that brings together the voices and actions to promote good menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) for all women and girls around the world.

From the WELL Building Standard, this office level utilizes Structured Fitness Opportunities under the Fitness category providing access to services as an important step towards making exercise a part of healthy work culture.

Structured Fitness Opportunities PART 1: PROFESSIONAL FITNESS PROGRAMS - The following is offered at least once a month: a. Onsite fitness or training programs PART 2: FITNESS EDUCATION - Classes from a qualified professional are offered at least once every 3 months to cover the following: a. Different modes of exercise b. Safe fitness techniques c. Comprehesive exercise regimens [HER]TOPIA thrives to spread awareness and improve menstrual well-being. This office building has been designed specifically for female hence, the influence of pastel color scheme and curvy structures design in the space to reflect feminism.

The main activities proposed here is a collaboration space for education and awareness on menstruation cycles and a platform for women to connect. There are also services such as Reusable Fabric Pad production and Heat Pack Production as well as sanitary products and merchandise that can be purchased.

PROJECT 02 SPACE REPRESENTATION

Walkthrough is an occasion when people practicing something, without audience being present, however be able to view and experience the space virtually. It is an interactive movement in space, where I am able to allow the viewers to focus on how the design and language, flows together in the created space. With the walkthrough animation, it’s gives opportunity to viewers to engage with and go through the areas in interactive manner.

In this project, I am required to embed a walkthrough space virtually in a more streamlined and interactive manner which will communicate the overall design of the programming proposed.

SELF-REFLECTION It was really nice to experience what would soon be the reality of our working environment but, I believe that we can benefit more from this experience if I was able to work together closely physically with the other schools. As for me and my group, we’ve only virtually communicated with each other through whatsapp, discord and zoom. Due to the difference in our submission timeline with the other schools, we did not have ample time for proper discussions as each of our teams were busy with our own submissions. Therefore, our online meetings are usually short and I personally feel that it is very tough to keep track on the progress of the other teams. Although we’ve all managed to present our work together as a team, it would have been a more fun and eye-opening experience if we had more time to get to know the other teams of the other schools.

I would definitely recommend that the structure and management of the timeline of students to be tallied as it has truly brought a negative impact into the students. There were many times when our group had to clarify over and over again regarding the same issues with the other teams as the lecturers of each party provided different opinions. I personally think that this issue could easily be resolved as it would save more time for us to have a more eventful discussion. It was definitely a new experience and I was able to get to know people from other schools but this was merely an integrated project as I did not meet the other teams as much and we all had different requirements to fulfill. One example I would give is when BAT team had to revise and improve the design of their plan, our team had to proceed with the initial plan given which affected our presentation. I believe it has also caused difficulties on the other teams.

I would definitely recommend that the students in the future take part in this collaboration but I would greatly appreciate if these considerations were taken into action to make better the experience for the coming semester students.
