PROJECT//01
RE-Play
We are to design within a given area of area of 5m (l) x 5m (w) x 3m (ht), an OUTDOOR PLAYSCAPE for children that is modular, lightweight as well as safe with all mechanisms being simple and easy to operate. The main materials for its construction are reclaimable/repurposed materials and reasonably weather proof. It must be able to accommodate/support a set of proposed activities designed to instill among children not only a sense of play or exploration but also the appreciation of sustainability through the application of reusable materials. We must be able to demonstrate its ability to function in a real world situation.

MODULE OUTLINE//
SYNOPSIS
This studio emphasises on “engaging environment and community”, the studio explores design by harnessing environmental qualities through projects with a specific community of users within a given context. The projects involve studies of precedents that showcases responses to environmental conditions and sustainable issues as well as innovative interpretations of the given program. Considerations should be given to the complexity of the program, site topography and vegetation, socio-cultural events, and variety of passive strategies for sustainable design. The design work should contribute to and merge harmoniously with environment and the site, and provide meaningful architectural experience for the community of users. We are required to demonstrate applications of knowledge gained from Environmentally Sustainable Design from prior semesters

PROJECT//02
2A: Site Analysis
The first part of Project 2 was a group project that requires students to come up with a detailed site analysis following our site visit in Taman Dr.Seenivasagam,Ipoh. We were to produce a board summarising the genius loci, site history, activities, climatic conditions, demographics and other salient contextual information, to be processed together with examples of alternative education and precedent studies that we explored. The aim of this project was to explore design possibilities for the upcoming project, house of leisure-community recreation center.
2C: Final Presentation
This brief proposes a HOUSE OF LEISURE - COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTRE. Taking their understanding of the contextual condition of the site and precedent studies as points of departure, we are to come up with intentions, concepts and programs that will then be developed into concrete design proposals that address and respond to the environment and the needs of the community
