Project 01
The Walk Of Life My Project is based on a vintage street at a small remote town called Jerantut at Pahang. I took a video of the street and made a collage about the street
TASK Video Collage
Project 01 The Walk Of Life -Video This is the video that i took at my site (Bandar Lama) which is a vintage old street that have over 200 years of history. It is situated is a small remote town at Pahang. In the video it will show, some of the tourist attraction of the street, including a hotel with the theme of "COLOUR", some wall painting. The video also show more aspect of the street for instance, pattern, texture, activity, human behavior and many more
Project 01 The Walk Of Life - Collage This is a collage that capture the essence of the street. All the building in the collage is from the street. VINTAGE This is an old vintage street that have over 200 years of history
CRAZY There are a lot of wall painting in the street, and they are all painted by an old man before he gain mental issue.
Project 02 THE EXPLORATION Based on the study of Eat, Work and Play, this project shows my understanding on anthropometric and the interaction between human movement, activities, and spaces, during quarantine

2D ARTWORK
2D ARTWORK Hierarchy The circle is hierarchy by shape & colour. It is circle because it represent the the roundabout at the end of the street, and it also represent the clock tower which is a hierarchy of the street, as it acts as a tourist attraction. it is red because the colour red claims dominance among the other colours.
Datum
Rhythm / Repetition The repetition of square represent the shops of the streets. Therefore, it is placed on the side of the abstract. Just like an actual street. The repetition of square form a rhythm throughout the abstract.
The irregular shape at the center, represent the street as datum because it organize and gather all the elements within its field . Just like a street, it gather all the elements and place them on both side of the irregular shape
3D ARTWORK
3D ARTWORK Hierarchy The circle is hierarchy by shape and height. as it is the highest elements and the only circle in the modal. I used circle because it represent the the roundabout at the end of the street, and it also represent the clock tower which is a hierarchy of the street, as it acts as a attraction. The second reason I used circle is because I want to represent crazy, as a man with mental health created a lots of wall painting which became an attraction at the street. The circle can represent crazy because it is different from the other shape and 'crazy' is just an abnormal state of mind.
Rhythm / Repetition
Datum
The repetition of square represent the shops of the streets. Therefore, it is placed on the side of the abstract. The squares have different height, colour and cover. This is because, the various type of building style and pattern. Althought, all the building are at the same street but most of them have different style and pattrern which create a huge contrast among them.
The irregular shape at the center, represent the street, (road).Hence it has no height The road of the street is located at the center of the street. Therefore, the irregular shape that is located at the center of the modal. The road of the street connect everything at the street from the clock tower to the shops. Therefore, the irregular shape connect the elements in the modal and serve as datum.

Project 03 THE ADAPTION Based on the site i choose (Bandar Lama, Jerantut), i did some research on a case study. After that, create a pod that could fit in the vintage street

Case Study
BACKGROUND
STREET TREE PODS BY Matthew Chamberlain
CONSTRUCTION
The building is design in a teardrop-shaped to collect rainwater more easily. The building is mostly made out of wood wood. The roof is covered in cedar shingles and shaded by the trees, with bird houses built into their roofs to avoid displacing urban wildlife. The pods collect their own rainwater and use a bio-digester to handle waste. The street tree pod built around the tree trunks.
Matthew Chamberlain designed a sustainable street tree pod to provide starter homes on London's streets. Street Tree Pods seeks to offer a fresh insight into urbanisationon, tackling and challenging both the current housing crisis and the growing pollution issues within the city. The street tree pod take up the same amount of space, as a car parking. Each street tree pod would offer short-term accommodation to a single individual.
Tree trunks would run through the core of structure, it providing structural stability for the building. The trunks would be covered in an ETFE shell. ETFE shell is a system that would allow water to reach the tree and run through to the ground, while a rubber gasket between them will accommodate their growth. BACKGROUND

From my case study, I conclude, that this project has created a new type of housing typology, by creating a wider space by going above ground. It has little ground interaction but develop a house using air space. There is also a direct relationship with the surrounding environment. This new type of urban architecture, will reduce pollution, create a better lifestyle by creating more interaction with the nature. Research has shown that living with trees create a calmer and healthier environment.

The only cons to this project is that we have to create a strong and health tree to ensure the stability of the building. Furthermore, this project only provide the needs and space of a single individual, thus it is not suitable for a family.
