Assignment 8: Object Connection ( Jointing )

This week, we have to do a puzzle together. Imagine 160++ people doing a big puzzle, it is cool, right? Everyone has to doddle on his/her puzzle piece based on the previous assignments. The theme is free this time so I guess many people are going to produce amazing puzzle pieces.

I have included in the HBP school, my sculpture and also natural geometry - the Sun in my puzzle piece. At first I decided to colour with magic colour but the effect is not satisfying. Thus, I have used poster colour instead. My friends and I decided to do row of puzzles that use "wall" as the background so that we can achieve the aim of this assignment, that is to show oneness/unity. I draw on a piece of drawing paper and paste it on the foam board.

Assignment 6: Analysis of HBP Spaces ( Composition )

Wow... this is our first Site Analysis. Actually, I know nothing about site analysis. It is totally new to me. After doing some research on the internet and asking some friends, I have got some ideas about this assignment. Basically, we need to do a board that contains the information about HBP.

I have drawn the Key Plan ( Penang Island ), Location Plan ( USM ) and Site Plan ( HBP ).

HBP is known as School of Housing, Building and Planning. It is the only School in whole Malaysia which offers integrated syllables for students of different disciplines. The disciplines are architecture, quantity surveying, building surveying, building technology, construction management, urban & regional planning and interior design. All the students have a chance to study with those from other disciplines and this helps them to understand who are the actors in construction industry. They can learn how to complete a project successfully when cooperating with people of different knowledge.

I have included the sun path, accessibility and some photos of the buildings to give a better understanding about HBP. According to the sun path, the studio ( Block E08 ) is the only building that faces the sun ray most of the time. So, it is considered as one of the hottest building of HBP. Luckily, there are trees that can block solar radiation. Besides, the building is air-conditioned, so the users will not feel warm easily.

Next, the grey arrows show the pathway where the vehicles can move about in HBP. Basically, there is only 1 entrance and 1 exit. However, traffic congestion rarely occurs here as there are very few vehicles. Most of the car parks are only available for dean, lecturers and also staffs. Students often park their vehicles outside of HBP area.

This is my work...
