Areas of interest in Architecture are composition and Design Theory as well as Architecture in Culture, especially in the context of Terengganu - to create new local identity of the state. Being born in this East-Coast state of Malaysia Peninsular, the beautiful crafted traditional houses have given strong inspiration in my latest works. Personally, they contain mysterious yet interesting knowledge and principles that can be used to develop this new 'local identity'.

GEELONG URBAN HEART SURGERY GEELONG SRD764 2015 URBAN DESIGN STUDIO: HEART SURGERY
The existing site is known for its disintegration between city and waterfront, heavy traffic movement, lack of green space and activities. Hence, this Urban Heart Surgery is to create a new vibe to the city, by introducing opportunities, landmarks, improving circulation as well as maintaining the essence of the city and its historical value. Moorabool Street becomes the main connector between the CBD and the waterfront, by transforming it to become fully for pedestrian, between the Malop and Eastern Beach Street. The street edge is reserved for commercial, arts and eateries, creating more activities for the visitors along the section. In addition, this part of street is named ‘the Aqueduct’, literally painted in vibrant blue colour, a resemblance of sea wave coming from the water edge to the street. It is a metaphor of the connection between the sea and the city, and a symbolism for Geelong being an industrial coastal city in the past. At the end of the street is a plaza with a new landmark, creating a spectacular vista towards the sea line. In addition, provision of space for pop-up stalls and farmer market at the Little Malop Street will provide more additional 10 000 population within the CBD means more residential buildings. Retrofitting is the main suggestion for additional buildings within the precinct as there are many historical buildings that can limit flexibility in the urban design but also worth to be preserved.

6|24 GEELONG SRD764 2015 URBAN DESIGN STUDIO: LOCATING ONESELF IN THE FABRIC
The project is located at 6-24 Moorabool Street, which is the current location for Steampacket House. It is a mixed-use which consists of restaurant, gymnasium, and offices. The building form is designed based on building's site context where nature views, and people movement are considered in the process of design development. On the ground floor, the eastern part of the building is tapered to open the vista towards The Pier Geelong which is one of Geelong’s landmark whereas the western part is slightly rotated into the courtyard to give larger view towards the waterfront (from brougham street). A courtyard is designed to provide better experience for the people inside the building. The position or location of the main entrance for this building is preserved from the previous Steampacket House which is near to the junction of Moorabool Street and Brougham Street. It is highlighted by east-facing skin and the extruded stair shell facing Brougham Street.Â

Like the existing building (Steampacket House), the area of subject site which is about 50 meters by 80 meters is extruded to form four storey buiding
4
The edge of building is tapered according to the axis towards the Pier Geelong which can help to open more vista towards the landmark
2
The building is offset on both side. One side is to open the vista towards Geelong Waterfront from Moorabool St and another is to give space for green area that can benefit the building and surrounding
5
Two entrances to the courtyard is created to attract public to use the space. One is from Moorabool St (the new plaza), and another entrance is from the waterfront
3
Courtyard is designed to connect people inside the building with outdoor. Cross ventilation can be occurred due to the ratio that allows the ventilation to be happened
6
Rectangular floor plan with courtyard is used on the first floor onwards due to the lack of space from the previous design form. This new form is also to continue the identity of Geelong CBD - Grid Planning
7
One part of the building (facing Moorabool St) is pushed down to give more views to people on the other part. It also increase the amount of sunlight coming into courtyard
8
The other part of the building then is pushed backwards to unblock the view for the building next to it (the Pier Point building)
9
Second skins are applied to act as shading device for the building. The skin is designed with the immitation of brick pattern, which is also one of Geelong’s identity

Esmeralda + Armilla | Re-imagine Prahran Market SOUTH YARRA SRD763 2015 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IN URBAN CONTEXTS
Aim of this project is to re-imagined and re-designed Prahran market based on few cities from a famous novel by Italo Calvino - Invisible Cities. Two cities are selected to create a well animated long section with the conceptual ideas and activities by referring to these imaginary cities by an explorer, Marco Polo. The cities selected are: Esmeralda "Did you ever happen to see a city resembling this one?" Kublai asked Marco Polo, extending his beringed hand from beneath the silken canopy of the imperial barge, to point to the bridges arching over the canals, the princely palaces whose marble doorsteps were immersed in the water, the bustle of light craft zigzagging, driven by long oars, the boats unloading baskets of vegetables at the market squares, the balconies, platforms, domes, campaniles, island gardens glowing in the lagoon's greyness. Armilla "Whether Armilla is like this because it is unfinished or because it has been demolished, whether the cause is some enchantment or only a whim, I do not know. The fact remains that it has no walls, no ceilings, no floors: it has nothing that makes it seem a city except the water pipes that rise vertically where the houses should be spread out horizontally where the floors should be: a forest of pipes that end in taps, showers, spouts, overflows." Few tunnels/bridges are designed for the new market. Each tunnels/bridges represent different products or functions. There are six tunnels at the first stage, which then concluded to be three which represent Meats, Poultry, and Seafood (Tunnel 1 - Blue); Delis and Bakeries (Tunnel 2 - Yellow); Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (Tunnel 3 - Green).

DESIGN RESOLUTIONS Six tunnels are reduced into three, with a combination between tunnels from the initial concept. These three tunnels will be utilised for: 1. Meats, Poultries, and Seafood 2. Deli and Bread 3. Fresh fruits and Vegetables Another design issue with initial masterplan is that the positioning of residential and office building. This issue is resolved by exchanging the location between these two programs due to the suitability based on urban context and zoning. Office Residential Deli & Bread Fresh Fruits & Vegetables

TUNNEL CONFIGURATIONS Width Most of the tunnels have 10 meters width and some parts that have potential to get views from both sides will have 14 meters width. Stall Arrangements The stalls on 10 meters width will be located on one side, whereas stalls on 14 meters width will be located at the middle for better circulation - allowing people to walk on both sides and while enjoying the views.

CYCLONE TSIM SHA TSUI SRD364 2013 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN 3B | RARE ARCHITECTURE IN HONG KONG
Cyclone is a multi-storey, mixed-use building which is consisted of flagship store, mixed retails, small apartments, restaurants, and nightclubs. The site is on Haiphong Road, between Lock Road and Hankow Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. This site is directly opposite to Kowloon Park. The form of the building responds to the wind directions, and also to the typhoons; the north facade's curvilinear double skin is installed with vertical mini or micro wind turbines on the steel profile intersections. The building will make full use of the wind comes from the prevailing winds (mostly from the East and South-East) and also to make benefits from the strong winds coming from the North-East direction (Typhoons).

PROCESSION OF LIGHT GEELONG SRD363 2013 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN 3A | ARTIFEX FABRICA
The building is a multi-use building for predetermined clients within an existing urban environment. The project - a studio, residence and gallery for five artists, is being developed through the concept of ‘Light Procession’. The main intention for this design is to recreate the spaces inside the building by the introduction of more light as the old arcade has gloomy and dark environment. This arcade path has become the most important part, as it plays the role of attracting people to enter the building, hence will explore more of the other building spaces afterwards. For this project, the arcade path is divided into two parts ;- a part where the sun rays coming into the building, whilst another part with a series of inclined columns. This inclined columns are designed based on the angle of rays entering the arcade path during the Summer. The site is located within an established urban context in Central Geelong. Centrepoint Arcade is one of Geelong’s most notable arcade spaces. It connects Little Malop Street with Ryrie Street.

SIX SEASONS KAKADU SRD264 2012 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN 2B | ECO-DOMUS
The relationship between a building and its context can be “considered as an ecosystem, characterised by its history, its structure and function… and the cycling and conversion of energy and materials… [with] its own spatial organisation and distinctive patterns of change through time, which result in patterns of species’ behaviours, population’s dynamics and the formation of communities” (Sukopp,2002). Domus is designed based on the main concept, ‘Six Seasons’ where the Bininji or Munguy recognise six different seasons for the area of Kakadu, Northern Territory, Australia. This concept of change in weather and nature; and variation in landscape guide the process of domus design ideas. The building attempt to respond to the differing conditions : - monsoon season - storm season - cool/humid season - cool/low humidity season - hot dry season - pre monsoon storm season. The building is a shared live/work dwelling to accommodate five architects plus short-term guests ( two guests for each architect ). Domus consists of six dissimilar areas, which resemble six seasons where each of them has been characterised by these unique seasons.

ARCHITECTONIC READING ROOM MICK SCHAMBURG PARK SRD263 2012 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN 2A | TECTONIC DESIGN STUDIO
The aim of this project is collective exploration of ‘tectonic design’ for a selection of single functions and specific contexts. Made of recycled timber as the main material, this minima project is designed to be a reading room and can be located near any foreshore to get the best views. For this assignment, it is located near Mick Schamburg Park, Miami, Queensland. This reading room is approximately 3 x 3 x 3 meter cube (27 cubic meter). The tectonic form of this reading room is developed from a 27 cubic meter box, which being divided into two spaces; enclosed (privacy) and open space. The main concern for this reading room is the location of bookshelf. It is being positioned at the intersection of the enclosed and open space. The bookshelf is designed to be horizontally hollowed so that people can reach books from either the enclosed space or open part.

AAA GALLERY GEELONG SRD164 2011 ARCHITECTURE DESIGN 1B | ARCHITECTONIC ASSEMBLAGE
Alvar Aalto’s Art (AAA) Gallery design is influenced from most of Aalto’s masterpieces, such as Saynatsalo Town Hall, Experimental House, the Aalto House and Aalto’s famous vase shape. Parts of these masterpieces are altered and combined to achieve the aim of this gallery. The design is aiming to create a building (gallery) which not only to exhibit Aalto's related artwork but also portraying the architect's signature architecturally. AAA Gallery form is also designed with combination of ‘L’ shapes, one of his trademarks for most of his architectural works. In addition, this gallery is responding to the form and materials of surrounding buildings within the Geelong CBD - to seamlessly blend in with the existing characteristic of this city. Aalto's Method of Working Alvar Aalto generic simple squares to organise plans' composition, forming the recognised L shaped space. He combined the interior and the exterior into a single unity of these original squares to emphasise his concept of melding architecture with the landscape. He looked at different objects within his studio like chairs, fans or vases and he designed building from them. That explains a library with fan-looking plan, villas with wavy shapes of a vase and building parts, which resembles to a chair.
