PROJECT 1 The first outcome of the project will be an A3 sized illustrative chronology poster of Islamic Architecture that interprets the Islamic architectural language and the unifying and diversifying principles of Islamic architecture influences to the architectural development of the Southeast Asia countries in general and Malaysia in particular. a. The Seven Unifying principles of Islamic architecture: viii. Architecture as Tawhid: Unity & Uniquity of Allah) ix. Architecture of Ihtiram: Respect x. Architecture with Ikhlas: Sincerity xi. Architecture as Pursuit of ‘Ilm: Knowledge xii. Architecture for Iqtisad: Balance xiii. Architecture of Haya’: Modesty xiv. Architecture as Dikr: Remembrance b. The Diversifying principle of Islamic Architecture: i. Architectural principle of ‘Urf REFLECTIONS: Thie project enabled me to study the Islamic principles of architecture,and to understand the architecture of Mosques in South East Asia.

PROJECT 1: This project is driven by Architectural Design Studio 4, as an approach to support students’ design through extensive research within the framework of sustainability design in Asia. The sustainability design framework focuses on the building assigned for site visit, with research objectives defined through in-depth literature review, leading to a well-established case study paper structure and writing. Assessments involve oral presentation and a written paper of 3,000 to a maximum of 4000 words. The final topic of the paper should be evolved in discussion and consultation with the tutors and should be finalised by the fifth week of the course. Students will present the summary of the paper with images in class – which contains an outline of the paper covering issues and themes explored, as well as a bibliography.

PROJECT 1: In a group of between 5 to 6 students in the same tutorial group. We were required to choose a building which was at least 4-storey high which can be either public or commercial buildings (i.e. office blocks, institutional buildings, shopping malls, etc.).We were to perform a thorough study and analysis of the following services systems associated to the building; i) mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning system, ii) electrical supply system, iii), mechanical transportation system as well as iv) fire protection system and document our findings accordingly. The requirements of the project are as follows.  Identify all the required building services components installed in the building.  Perform a thorough study on all the services systems; i) mechanical ventilation and air conditioning system, ii) electrical supply system, iii) mechanical transportation system, and iv) fire protection system  Obtain estimate dimensions and sizes of the spaces required for...

Project 1 Fettuccine Truss Bridge In a group of 5 (max 6 – assigned by tutor), you are required to carry out precedent study of a truss bridge. Using the info you obtain from the precedent study, you are required to design and construct a fettucini bridge of 750mm clear span and maximum weight of 200g. The bridge will be tested to fail. Other than aesthetic value, the design of the bridge must be of high efficiency, i.e. using the least material to sustain the higher load. In order to achieve higher efficiency,we needed to analyse and evaluate each of the following items. - Material strength o By adopting appropriate method, determine the strength of fettucini, i.e. tension and compression strength o By knowing the strength of fettucini, you will be able to determine which members to be strengthened - Structural analysis of the truss o Perform detailed structural analysis of the truss o Identify critical members o Strengthened the critical members if necessary REP...
