DESIGN SHOWCASE
In the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur, where tradition meets innovation, a vibrant tapestry of signage adorns the thoroughfares like pieces in a grand typographic puzzle. As one navigates through the maze of alleys and corridor, a kaleidoscope of fonts, colors, and sizes emerges, each sign a chapter in the city's rich cultural narrative.
THEME : SIGNAGE
A Journey Through Time and Culture
PHASE 01: DESIGN RATIONALE
Following up from the previous semester, students will continue constructing the final design element throughout the chosen site. A series of spatial explorations will be done in multiple spaces in the chosen site to elaborate the design expression. Although some of the suggested proposals are clearly hypothetical, the solutions must demonstrate serious thought in the resolution of the design challenge. There should be clear intentions and objectives to demonstrate appropriate design themes, logical structural systems and expression of spatial relationships.

PROCESS
PHASE 02: SCULPTING SPACES
This stage will focus on developing and sculpting the spaces, digitally. Students will go through a series of 3D explorations addressing the central design idea in Phase 1 and the spatial proposal should reflect the intention. Layout plans of the projects are expected to be developed in this stage to start preparing for the Technical Drawing Set by the next phase.
PHASE 03:
TECTONICS APPRECIATION & CREATIVE PRODUCTION
It is important to have a tectonics appreciation in any design element. This includes planning the drawing representation method, sensory instrument, built installation, etc. Students will choose a portion of a design and elaborate it on a curated technology appreciation. This also includes material exploration and bespoke drawings to express the design intention. On top of that, students will need to produce a set of technical drawings that aligned with the industry level of detail, understanding and design outcomes catered to the resolution of those ideas.
