B.V. Doshi is an Indian architecture who has many contributions to Indian architecture. His famous works include Sangath, Aranya Low-cost Housing, Amdavad ni Gufa and more. B.V. Doshi mentioned that his works are about extension of his life, philosophy and dreams trying to create treasury of the architectural spirit. He encouraged us to keep on exploring and learning about the diversity of culture. As we know more about the world and the nature, we can create a better architectural design for the world.

Project 01 Site analysis

The Proposed Site for this project is located at Pusat Gelandangan Medan Tuanku, Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. Medan Tuanku is a major area in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Most of programs around the site is businesses (commercial) facilities buildings. In this Project 01, we are seperated into different groups to conduct the site analysis at the site given and show the findings.

Project 02

2A: Designing with the site

The idea of relating a building to its context represents a basic understanding of designing architecture on a site. It is to examine student’s ability in recognizing a potential site/space to be adapted and further develop into an architectural space with a specific client/ function.

2A: The 'Case Study'

The purpose of a precedent study in architecture is to understand what has been done before and use that knowledge to help define and develop design concepts.

Project 03

Youth Skills Center

The students are required to design a Youth Skills Centre that brings together the best of academic learning and hands-on, real-world experiences for a vibrant education that meets the needs of each youth while serving the neighboring community.

Drawings

I show some of my favorite's drawings and artworks during this whole learning process. I express myself through some of these drawings.

I imagine my fear and confusing thought into a drawing. In this drawing, I explore the line type and line weight with different pens.

Interesting Projects

Throughout the years, there are some interesting projects that I worked hard on.

I put a lot of elements I like in this model. For example, the house setting I give for this model is in a village where there is only mudroad and grassland. I also used a lot of wooden elements because I love the smell, the colour, the texture of the wood.
