PROJECT 4 : NEIGHBOURHOOD & COMMUNITY

13 October 2014
Briefing about project 4 by lecturer. Then we have small talk by Mrs Che Noraini Abdullah from MPPP and also element of the neighbourhood by our lecturer.

16 October 2014
Have our site analysis talk by lecturer and at the evening, our leader went to JUPEM at Komtar to buy the Site Plan after knowing which Site we're going to to. The site that we received located at Relau. It's a small neighbourhood area called Mont Tierra Residence.
Unable to went to Site Visit today as the plan that we received is incomplete and the plan is actually a blank space. We couldn't find the place at google maps too.

17 October 2014
today we're having watercolor workshop at our studio conducted by our dean. Its a fun workshop and it help us in the coming projects. Even though my skill is still average but i will practice more so that i can do well in the project. Tomorrow its the first day of Semester break, so everyone will be going home for one week and it become more difficult for us to go to the site. This will lead to the next problem which is unable to do the project. Some of the members that live in penang went to the site and share some of the pictures with us, but its still hard for us to imagine how is the place look like so we planned to go to the site once we're back from the break. During the break we can only imagine how the place look like and can only proceed to 4b which is the alternative plan for the original location.

27 October 2014 
We're finally back from our break and all we left is only 1 week to finish the project.




 most of us stayback at the studio to rush for the project and many of us didn't sleep for days to complete the project.

 We faced a lots of problem when we carried out the project as we don't have a clear idea of how it is to do the project.
 Its 1am in the morning yet all of us still rushing the project.

31 October 2014
Even though we're lack of time but we managed to finished the project right in time. but due to our poor time-management skill, our work is done poorly and i think we can actually perform better if we able to divide our time properly.

PROJECT 3 : RETRACTABLE TABLE

29 September 2014
Haven't even submit our project 2, we're having briefing for project 3!!!
this time everyone totally shocked and almost faint! Just came back from Camp and the next day get the project already. ( everyone still rushing project 2, don't even have time to think of project 3!) 
we just sit there and listen to the briefing and then the lecturer taught us about the perspective and vanishing point. It's a very interesting class though!
 We need to design a Retractable Table that can easily brought from one place to another one! It look simple but actually its not! Then the best design get to be chose to participate in a furniture competition. We need to present our idea in 6 different A3 Cartridge paper! 6 PAPER!!!

4 October 2014
After submit our project 2, we're quite relax but didn't come up with any idea. Thats the frustrating part! Without any idea, how to draw? for 6 paper some more!!  

6 October 2014
After relaxing and playing for 2 days, the idea start to flow in but very unclear! I changed my design a few time and then do improvement a lot too! 

 Random Sketching
 some detail and measurement! ( the design makes me changed the measurement quite a few time!)
did quite a number of time to improve the drawings. I'm not good in it, so in order to make it look nicer, I need to draw many times! It takes and waste a lot of time!
 Finally start to draw it into the cartridge paper!
 Elaboration about my design. I dont have a specific concept about my design. All i want is my design to be simple and easy to use. So i named it SIMPLICITY! 
to make a design marketable to the society, a simple one will do. Even though the pretty and creative one stand out the most,still a simple one get the attention the most. Why? because it is simple, hence it suit everyone's home and wont waste a lot of space! It can be bought by anyone that need a space-saving table and it is easy to use.
 More elaboration...
 The elevation plan. I doesn't do it the way the lecturer show us. so i redo it at night and it waste my time but it worth it. I learned one more things!

9 October 2014


 Axonometric Drawing! This is the most complicated part for me! As i don't really understand the concept and i couldn't understand the information in the Internet too! Wasted a lot of time asking senior and friends and lastly a friend explain it clearly to me, then i can proceed to my project! Sometimes sharing information or even asking question do help us to understand more. the moment we teach someone things, we learn too! very thankful to my friend! Thank You!
 Been erasing a lot these few night! Burning the midnight oil till 4am and then finally the design is done before 10pm. So i get to rest early! Even though the project takes a lot of our time, I'm grateful that I can finish every project right in time! Doesn't require me to stay up whole night to finish the rest of the project! As long as we keep on doing throughout the week, we can finish it right before the deadline! All of us does not know how to finish this project and don't know what to do in the beginning but it feel so magical that we can actually produce this work with all the limited information we have! Never give up and nothing is impossible! 

The Outcome of the Week!
