SELF-INTRODUCTION I'M CRYSTAL KANG WEI KEE FROM UCSI UNIVERSITY. CURRENTLY, I'M A YEAR 1 SEMESTER 3 STUDENT IN DIPLOMA IN ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES. IN ARCHITECTURE STUDIO 1, I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT HOW TO DO SITE ANALYSIS, CASE STUDY, HOW TO PRODUCE A GOOD DESIGN AND HOW TO PRESENT THE DESIGN. THIS PORTFOLIO SHOWS MY WORKS AND EFFORTS THAT I'VE DONE IN THIS COURSE.

CONTENT PROJECT 1: THE 'WALK OF LIFE'

PG 4-7

PROJECT 2: THE 'EXPLORATION' TASK 2A: ANTHROPOMETRY TASK 2B: CASE STUDY TASK 2C: THE 'MECHANISM'

PG 8 PG 9-10 PG 11-16 PG 17-18

PROJECT 3: THE 'ADAPTATION'

PG 19-28

PROJECT 1: THE 'WALK OF LIFE' IN THIS PROJECT, WE ARE REQUIRED TO OBSERVE, ANALYSE AND UNDERSTAND THE SITE THAT WE HAVE CHOSE FOR THE PROJECT. WE THEN PRESENT OUR UNDERSTANDING IN A VIDEO AND COLLAGE. THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO LET US UNDERSTAND THE RELAIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SITE AND HUMAN BEINGS THAT WILL AFFECT THE FUTURE DESIGN PROJECT.

SITE ANALYSIS ACTIVITIES

COLOUR

PATTERN

TEXTURE

THE ACTIVITIES HERE INCLUDING HIKING, RUNNING, WALKING, CAMPING, PHOTO TAKING, DRINKING TEA IN THE SMALL RESTING AREA, EXPLORING NATURE AND MORE. WHEN THE DURIAN SEASON COMES, PEOPLE WILL COME HERE TO ENJOY GOOD QUALITY DURIAN. THERE IS ALSO A RESORT FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO STAY OVERNIGHT.

THERE ARE A LOTS OF COLOURS. FOR EXAMPLE, VARIOUS SHADES OF GREEN AND BROWN FROM THE NATURE.

SINCE THIS IS A NATURAL RECREATIONAL AREA, MOST OF THE PATTERN HERE ARE FROM NATURE AS WELL.

THERE ARE MANY NATURAL TEXTURE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

THE COLOURS FROM THE FACILITIES, FLOWERS, POSTERS AND THE DECORATION AT THE SITE HAVE CREATED A VIBRANT AND COLOURFUL ENVIRONMENT.

FOR INSTANCE, TREE PATTERNS, LEAVES PATTERNS, BRICK PATTERNS AND PAVEMENT PATTERNS.

FOR EXAMPLE, WOODEN TEXTURE ON THE TREE TRUNK, ROCKY ROAD, SMOOTH CONCRETE AND MANY MORE.

HUMAN BEHAVIOUR BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THERE ARE LESS PEOPLE HERE. LUCKILY, THE PEOPLE HERE ARE VERY NICE AND CHATTY. I MANAGED TO GET SOME INFORMATION OF THIS PLACE FROM THEM.

COLLAGE THIS COLLAGE COMBINES THE SITE ANALYSIS AND THE FEELINGS I FELT AT THE SITE. WHEN I VISIT THE SITE, I FELT THE SITE IS LIVELY, FRIENDLY AND COLOURFUL.

PROJECT 2: THE 'EXPLORATION' TASK 2A: ANTHROPOMETRY We are required to draw anthropometric drawings with scale and our own body measurements.

TASK 2B: CASE STUDY After learning how to draw anthropometric drawing, we now have to conduct a deployable architecture case study.

TASK 2C: THE 'MECHANISM' In this task, we have to identify the point and line elements from the case study that we have done in task 2. Then, we produce drawings and model that explain the mechanism of that deployable architecture.

PROJECT 3: THE 'ADAPTATION' IN THIS FINAL PPROJECT, WE ARE REQUIRED TO CREATE A DEPLOYABLE STRUCTURE DESIGN FOR THE CHOSEN SITE. WE HAVE TO PRODUCE A SERIES OF DRAWINGS AND A MODEL TO PRESENT OUR DESIGN. THE DRAWINGS AND MODEL ARE ARRANGED NICELY IN AN ARCHITECTURE PRESENTATION BOARD. THE FOLLOWING PAGES ARE THE PRESENTATION BOARDS THAT I HAVE PREPARED TO PRESENT MY DESIGN.
