Project 1: Case Study
Part A: Vernacular Architecture Video Presentation
Working in a group of 6-7 students, we were required to identify ONE contemporary architectural design that has EITHER Chinese, Japanese or Malaysian vernacular architecture elements. In our discussion, we had to show what are the vernacular architecture references and how they were used/adapted into the building design. We were then to show our findings in form of a video presentation.

Part B: Photobook
We were allowed to compare our observations with the street’s original conditions to highlight how new development or redevelopment has changed the contexts of the street. We could also highlight any relevant issues of heritage conservation if applicable. Findings were then presented in a photobook with NOT MORE than 2000 words with proper academic writing format. We were also to include street map with defined boundary, illustrations and diagrams as part of the contents.
My group mates and I chose to work on Jalan Sultan

Project 2: Contextual Architecture Study
Space organization and access hierarchy
Sky line, compression and height
Features related to the form of the building
Building material and systems
Image making elements
Dimensions of history and social memories
I chose to investigate on House NA by Sou Fujimoto

We were then to show findings and analysis in the form of a printed A2 presentation visual, with appropriate visual communication design and clarity of information.

REFLECTION:
Armed with this knowledge, I have learned how to apply these elements that make a design truly specific to its context, but still remaining loyal to its vernacular origins. I hope to be able to apply this in my future designs.
I have also learned the format of a case study or research paper, how to identify and gather information from credible and reliable sources for the production of this paper.
