by LIM MUI HUA 0301896

This project students will producing a hybrid building for their selected dormant site. The design of the building is to be a result and appropriate response that addresses issues identified in the Preliminary Studies in order to re-activate the dormant site.

The aims of this projects are to take into consideration the aspects and issues of the city and urbanity in relation to architectural design and to develop an awareness in the mediation between socio-cultural needs, the desires of internal, external and interstitial spaces, and the demands of external constraints. This project also aim to explore key stages involved in architectural design development.

From this assignment, I had learn how to generate an appropriate architectural programme to re-activate urban site that addresses the social issues and community within its context and the way to demonstrate the fundamental knowledge of Design Codes and Regulations and design within the constraints of feasibility. I also had learn to explore and produce sectional and elevational studies as part of the design process in terms of aesthetics, construction and environmental issues by produce drawings (both 2D and 3D), models and presentations to verbally and visually communicate architectural ideas and scheme .

BUILDING SCIENCE 2

This project aims to let student understand the practical application and testing methods of various lighting and acoustic performance and to determine the key technical specifications of the different light sources, understand and observe the differences in the technical properties. This project also aims to determine the key technical specifications of the different acoustic technical properties and to understand the concepts of colour rendering index and colour temperature of the different light sources, and influences on human perception of colour properties of objects. To understand the concepts of human perception of acoustic properties of objects.

From this project, I had the basic understanding in analysis and evaluation of artificial lighting and acoustic properties and also had the ability to compare the qualitative characteristics of the artificial lighting and acoustic properties and apply the understanding onto different architectural and interior space requirements based on functions.

Lab Practical Assignment: Lighting and Acoustic

This assignment is intended to be completed in a group of 5 students per group to evaluate their environment in terms of lighting and acoustics performances. Each group is required to choose a case study eg. gallery, visitor’s centre, showrooms, restaurants with ambiance and design and etc.

This project aims to let the students understand the day-lighting & lighting and acoustic characteristics & acoustic requirement in a suggested space and determine the characteristics and function of day-lighting & artificial lighting and sound & acoustic within the intended space. This project also aims to critically report and analyse the space.

From this project, I had able to produce a complete documentation on analysis of space in relation to lighting requirement and how to explore and apply understanding of building physic on existing building projects. I also had able to evaluate and explore the improvisation by using current material and technology in relevance to present construction industry and having basic understanding and analysis of lighting and acoustic design layout and arrangements by using certain methods or calculations.
