METROPOLITAN TRANSIENTS TENEMENT Urban Camping| Backpackers|

Penang Island, where current economic growth is focus on industrial sector, is depending largely on the food imported from Peninsular Malaysia.

The proposal aim to redefine the role of food production in local context. Shift from rural area to city; old generation to young generation; traditional to modern method; heritage to modern building; consume to produce are all consider in this proposal.

Located in the urban area, this proposal is an alternative to Urban Camping.

The camping platforms allow users to bulid their own tent rig ht in the city where they can experience the first hand local culture. Careful planning of the camping ground give users sense of privacy while providing them greenery view in their individual lot.

The Final Thesis is a proposal that aim to provide multi ple solutions in an problematic city centre which crowded with colleges students,residents and public visitors.

SJ Commons provides an interaction platform for students,local residents and public visitors. Boundaries of the campuses will become more penetrable and its facilities will be used more efficiently for mixed activities. It is a commons for everyone who stay,live,study and work in that area.

3-Gens Home| Hig h rise Residential|

3Gen housing are designed for multi- generation families to stay under one roof and also support the needs of larger families which may require an additional bedroom with attached bathroom.

This project is a correspondence to todays growing household size especially in urban area where the living expenses are hig her. Exploration of new typology of hig h rise residential ] allow owners to have their units in two separate floors.

Today many campuses are lack of quality squares,commons, or other places that bring their community together for interaction and fun. Close proximity of city campus in urban area increasing interaction between university and outside world. SS15,an early planned townshi p with hig h concentration of PrHEIs is selected as the project site.

RESIDENCE @ JALAN KUCHING

|Kuala Lumpur| [ DESIGN CONCEPT ]

What?

The current housing developments are mostly self-centred and isolated from the surrounding communities.

Gated communities are becoming a current trend.

Besides that,in certain areas of the City where housing has been built facing major roads is uncontrollably converted into commercial development.

[ DESIGN DEVELOPMENT ]

Why? The quality of the housing environment does not extend beyond the boundaries of individual residential development. Poor provision of community’s facilities and landscape are not proportionate with number of population. Lack of interconnection spaces between developments caused the gated community. This has promoted the hig h crime rates as neig hbours does not have chance to interact with each other. Ironically,peoples always think that gated environment is the safest place to stay.

How? The whole city environment should be observed in housing development planning in order to provide fluidity between different scales of social structures.

The proposal of the housing development should be compatible with their surroundings, maintain connections, enhance the public spaces which they adjoin and optimise the spaces between developments

[ SITE PLANNING APPROACH ]

[ MULTI GENERATION LIVING ]

17

In order to enhance the sense of belonging, the open gate community is created on the ground floor. Carefully planning of commercial areas and facilities help to secure the residents private life while provide interactions with the surrounding community.

The proposed site is located at the boundary of UNESCO World Heritage Site and next to Penang Island Administrative Centre,Komtar. The proposal located at a formerly abandoned site,which aims to redefine, recreate and revive the missing linkage between modern and heritage; virtual farming and real farming; buy food and plant food; chemical and organic; and etc.

[ GREEN DESIGN STRATEGIES ] A central on-site energy centre will provide electricity for the devices and equi pment and power to the biomass and the primary energy source for this will be agriculture waste and organic waste from the surrounding community.

These organic matters will be burnt in a steam biomass boiler and used to drive the CHP system. Ash from the boiler will be re-used in the garden whilst heat from the CHP unit will be used to regenerate a liquid desiccant. This desiccant will be used to remove moisture from the fresh air supply. This helps cut power consumption; dry air requires far less energy to cool it than moist air does. Another renewable energy resource comes from solar energy throug h semitransparent photovoltaic panels at the centre atrium of the two towers.

The kinetic energy from raindrop will convert into the electricity. Rainwater will be collected from the gutter behind the ring columns, rooftop,and storm water runoff. The water collected will be filtered and use for toilet flushing,landscape irrigation and top up cooling water.

[ PERSPECTIVES ] This pavilion is divided into three levels. Starting from the entrance, visitors will experience the spaces create by the folding panels. Non repetitive angle of folding panels creates different spaces and these spaces can be adaptable to the users’ needs. Along this journey, users will experience the unexpectation and changing of directions. Finally, the journey ended at the hig hest level where the best view is offered..

This project translate the unseen sides of the designer that nor normally seen by others into the form of a pavilion In architectural language,I compared it as an object appeared flat when we look it from far,as we getting closer, the sense of spaces will become stronger.

This will create surprise to the user about the pavilion as well ignite the curiosity of the visitors to know more about it.

[ PERODUA 3S CENTRE ] | Rendering | Report | Design | Translation of client sketches and initial idea into digital format; including plan and 3d modelling, Client required realistic architectural rendering for the 3S Centre in order increase the chances of getting approval from the authority.

All the images and text also arrange into the format of a design report.

|Architectural Visualization|

[ HOTEL ] | Rendering| Photoshop | Site Visit | Client required realistic architectural rendering for the proposed 21-storey hotel tower. I visited the site in order to find the best view of the project as well as for the better understanding of the surrounding context. Several colour scheme have been proposed and the selected scheme is as shown in the images.

[ MASTER PLAN ] [ MIXED DEVELOPMENT I ] | Physical Model | Based on the drawing provided by the architect, we are required to prepare the rig ht material for the specific model.

Craftsmanshi p and consistency of work quality is important in this model that built manually without any help of the machine.

Client are satisfied with the end product.

FREELANCE WORKS | Physical Model|

| Physical Model | This model is the largest physical model that ever built by archimaking. It is a challenging project with its scale and the craftsmanshi p skills needed to produce a detail model.

Clients are satisfied with the end product.

[ MIXED DEVELOPMENT II ] | Physical Model | This large model with two blocks of towers required hig h precision and consistent in the quality of works. The material selection and the finishing of the model became a benchmark of archimaking work. We are able to produce such hig h quality model without any help from the modern machine.
