Project 2: Experiencing Place and Memory Repository
Brief: Project 2a consists of group work and individual work. In a group within the same tutorial class, we are required to perform historical research on proposed place (Kampung Machap Baru), site conditions and data collection of macro and micro sites as well as site analysis of macro and micro sites. Individually, we had to produce a personal interpretation of the macro site in the form of sketches and identify the character of the site that would form inspiration in the design and develop design concept. Meanwhile, for project 2b, we are assigned to propose a design scheme which response to the site (site topography, history and socio-cultural events), functional program and users’ experiences and generate design through conscious consideration of user experience and last but not least the design scheme should take into consideration of technical and environmental aspects.
Outcome:
Project 2a - 5 to 10 minutes video, documenting the identified ‘theme’ with verbal narration ; 1 A0 panel in PDF format, with axonometric projection drawing from a digital 3D model of the macro site ; 12 A3 panels in PDF format that include site analysis diagrams of both the macro and micro sites ; 1 A3 panel of hand sketches to interpret the key character of Kampung Machap Baru and 4 A3 panels of hand-drawn/ digital produced plans and sections at an appropriate scale.
Project 2b - 20 to 25 pages of A3 PDF design and technical panels ; 5 pages of A3 PDF design and technical panels ; A3 PDF e-booklet.

SELF REFLECTION
Although at first it was quite difficult to adapt into using digital software to design unlike previously we just built physical models but thanks to advices given by peers around me, I was able to complete the models. I have also realised that having a positive mindset in tough situation is important as all of us struggled in meeting each other to discuss on problems we faced individually and also faced burnt out situation where we had to deal with other modules assessments due dates while discovering ways to use the digital software in short period of time. Besides, sharing difficulties with our friends and also encouraging each other by giving positives comments during this pandemic are quite important in term of mental and physical healing.
