Building Material
Project 1: Space Out - the material cube
In this project, we are assigned to explore the characteristic of material of paper and wood.
After that, we have to create a cube with space each a material.
The size of the cube have to be 12inch x 12inch x 12inch.

From this project, I learned alot about the characteristic of material of paper and wood. I never know I can do so much things with only the characteristic. Unlike my other friends in class, I often like to draw and design my cube first before I was going to start to build my cube, I analyse every angle of the material clearly then only i start taking up my pencil and draw!
Project 2 : Materiality of Space - An Experiential Exploration
For this project, we have two parts which is Part A and Part B.
Part A is group work which we have to choose an interesting building to analyse and explore the building material used to construct the following building.
My group mates and I had chosen Pod Pavilion of PJCC located just beside the Pantai Dalam Highway in Petaling Jaya.

In this part of project, I learned how to cooperate with my group mates. I find group work is very very important in this part of project which we are given very short amount of time to finish this part. We divided works equally and I was assigned to collect and analyze the material from site. I learned alot about structure and also green technology by using material and how they save electricity with selection of materials. The project is kinda tough at first as we don't know where to begin our analyze of material but we manage to get it through at last.
Part B is individual part which we have to choose a colonial era shophouse and study the relationship of material and space.
There are always a reason our ancestor choose those material over others.

For this part of project, I get to know more about my hometown, Kuala Terengganu. I also discover those little secret such as the reason why they shaped the roof that way which I was wondering since kid. I also learned to appreciate the heritage as I realize how valuable it is. The time and weather might corrode the building but its will be remain as culture and spirit deep in our heart.
