S.S. STUDIO DELIGHTING YOUR NEEDS

UNIT A E-PORTFOLIO FOR E-DESIGN STUDIO REVIEW PREPARED BY CHAN JENYEN1001643738

CHAN JENYEN (CJ) CJ GAINED VARIOUS FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGES SUCH AS EFFICIENT IDEAS IN DESIGNING AND ARCHITECTURE DRAWING SKILLS THROUGHOUT HIS STUDIES. NOT FORGET TO MENTION HIS ABILITY TO UTILIZE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE AND FINE UNDERSTANDING ON BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.

PROJECT 1

PROJECT 1 – DESIGN BY RESEARCHING

TO BE ABLE TO LINK, CONNECT, AND SUTURE THE PARTS TOGETHER. THE STUDIO DEVELOPED THE NOTION OF TOLERANCE AS A MEASURE OF THE ARTICULATION OF PHYSICAL DETAILS IN ARCHITECTURE, AS WELL AS PROGRAMMATICALLY, AND IN TERMS OF THE DEGREE OF FIT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSITION INTO AN EXISTING URBAN CONTEXT.

IDEA: ABANDONED HOUSES

SALAK SOUTH NEW VILLAGE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1952 WHEN THE BRITISH ADMINISTRATION NEEDED TO ISOLATE VILLAGERS FROM THE MALAYAN NATIONAL LIBERATION ARMY DURING THE MALAYAN EMERGENCY THAT LASTED 12 YEARS FROM 1948 TO 1960. BUT IN RECENT YEARS, THE LIVELINESS BEGAN TO FADE AS THE YOUNGER GENERATION MOVED OUT OF THE TOWN TO SEEK FOR BETTER JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND EDUCATION. AS THE OLDER GENERATION GONE, THIS RESULTS TO A NUMBER OF ABANDONED HOUSES WHICH IS WORTH A STUDY TO FIND OUT THE AUTHENTIC ELEMENTS ON SALAK SOUTH AND THE MEMORIES PEOPLE LEFT BEHIND.

THERE ARE VARIOUS KINDS OF BUILDING MATERIALS AROUND SALAK SOUTH ABANDONED HOUSES, WHICH INCLUDES BRICKS, TIMBER, METAL DECK AND CONCRETE. THESE MATERIAL CREATES A SENSE OF LONELINESS, COZINESS AND A SENSE OF RAWNESS ON THE TEXTURE.

THREE ABANDONED DWELLING ARE VISITED ON SALAK SOUTH TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MATERIAL TEXTURES.

THE TEXTURES ARE TRACED TO OBTAIN THE PHYSICAL SENSE OF THE TEXTURE.

CONCEPTUAL MODEL THE TEXTURES REPRESENTS THE INSIDE COMMUNITY OF SALAK SOUTH AND THE OTHERS WHO LIVE OUTSIDE IT, THE YOUNG GENERATION WHO MOVED OUT AND THE DETERMINATION OF OLDER GENERATION WHO CONTINUED STAYING.

PROJECT 2

APPLY DIGITAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS TO COMMUNICATE DESIGN INTENTION AND STRATEGY.

PROJECT 2A – URBAN STRATEGY

SALAK SOUTH NEW VILLAGE/KAMPUNG BARU SALAK SELATAN ESTABLISHED IN 1952, IS ONE OF THE THREE NEW VILLAGES WITHIN THE KUALA LUMPUR MUNICIPALITY. THE SO-CALLED ‘NEW VILLAGE’ WAS IN THE EMERGENCY PERIOD FROM 1948 TO 1962. THE BRITISH COLONIAL GOVERNMENT INFILTRATED THE COMMUNIST IDEOLOGY IN MALAYA, AND THROUGH THE BRIGGS PLAN, MOST OF THE CHINESE WERE THE COLONIES AND WERE FORCED TO MOVE TO THE CONTROL AREA AND IMPOSED STRICT CONTROLS, INCLUDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF FENCES TO RESTRICT VILLAGE OPERATIONS, FOOD CONTROL AND SO ON. IN ORDER TO REDUCE GOVERNMENT SPENDING, THE SCHEME ALLOWS RESIDENTS OF NEW VILLAGES TO ENGAGE IN FARMING WITHIN THE NEW VILLAGE AND TO ALLOW SMALL BUSINESSES AND EVEN SMALL INDUSTRIES TO ACHIEVE SELFSUFFICIENCY. SINCE THE OPENING IN 1962, WITH LIMITED GOVERNMENT RESOURCE SUBSIDIES, THE VILLAGERS IN THE NEW VILLAGES HAVE OBTAINED RESOURCES FROM THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT AND THEN DEVELOPED A UNIQUE NEW VILLAGE CULTURE

PROJECT 2B – BUILDING STRATEGY

TO START THE MAIN DESIGN PROJECT OF THE SEMESTER, YOU WILL HAVE TO INTENSIVELY EXPLORE URBAN STRATEGY AND BUILDING SCALE IN PAPER. PAPER COLLAGES AND MODELS ALLOW A QUICK REPETITION AND VARIATION OF IDEAS, AS WELL AS ONGOING ADJUSTMENTS. WITHIN YOUR URBAN STRATEGY’S INTERVENTION, DEVELOP YOUR INTERVENTIONS. FOR THIS YOU COULD DEVELOP A FEW INTERVENTIONS OR ONLY CHOOSE ONE TO DEVELOP. INTERVENTIONS SUCH AS: + ”SUPPORTING PROGRAM” TO FOSTER EITHER ONE OF THE EXISTING PROGRAME + “ADD-ON PROGRAM” ON AN EXISTING BUILDING. THIS PART IS KEY IMPORTANT IN THIS DESIGN STAGE. VISUALIZATIONS ARE HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL DESIGN. THE WORK MAY BUILD ON DRAWINGS OF EXISTING CONDITIONS AND MAY EXPLOIT A WHOLE PALLET OF DIFFERENT AND APPROPRIATE WORKING TECHNIQUES.

PROJECT 3

PROJECT 3 – IDENTITY VS LOCALITY

IN TODAY’S 21ST CENTURY GLOBALIZATION, MODERN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF DWELLING, OFFICES AND PLACES OF CONSUMPTION COMPETE IN CREATING THE MOST UNIQUE AND MOST GROUNDBREAKING DESIGNS. BUILDINGS ARE NO LONGER EVALUATED BY ITS FUNCTION. THE MUSE DESIGN AWARD, FOR EXAMPLE, CONSIDERS “THAT THE BEST ARCHITECTURE SHAPES THE SPACES WITHIN AND WITHOUT, MAKING A LASTING STATEMENT THAT INSPIRES WHILE PLEASING THE SENSES, COMPLEMENTING OUR SURROUNDINGS AND CULTURAL IDENTITIES.” AS THE WORLD BECOMES MORE CLOSELY CONNECTED, THE AESTHETICS OF DIFFERENCE WHICH FOREGROUNDS IDENTITY AND LOCALITY BECOMES MORE PROMINENT AND URGENT. THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY HAS SEEN PARADIGMATIC SHIFTS TOWARDS MORE LOCALLY EMBEDDED DESIGN. SINCE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS HAVE PAID ATTENTION TO THE WAY BUILDINGS BLEND AND CONNECT TO THE SURROUNDING NATURAL AND HUMAN ENVIRONMENT. HOW DO CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURES EMBRACE, EXPERIMENT WITH, OR EMBODY LOCALITIES AND IDENTITIES IN RESPONSE TO THE CHANGING GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT
