progress
After grouping up with:
-Jong Joe Yee
-Loh Zuo Chang
-Gan Zi Fung
-Mi Hao Ran
-Lee Yu Heng
We chose the architect named Sher Maker and his key building which is Khiankhai Home & Studio
We proceeded to come out with a complete set of architectural drawinngs
Architectural drawings of Khiankhai Home & Studio
After completing the architectural drawings for Khiankhai Home & Studio, we had to do analysis focusing on:
-main design intentions/pati
-context
-space planning
-circulation & zoning
-structure
We also had to formulate our findings into a set of 5 analysis diagrams and 5 diagrammatic models (8 x 8 x 8 cm)
We delegated the task and each of us would get one to focus on, I had chose circulation & zoning

reflection
From this assignment, I'm able to identify architects and their works, analyse and ‘diagram’ architectural work of selected architect, and produce basic architectural compositions of solids, planes, lines and frames.
In this assignment, I learnt about how to conduct an analysis on the architect and his key building I chose. From the analysis, I learnt about how to produce architectural drawings based on the key building and also come out with diagram drawings which was the circulation and zoning.
As this assignment has a short duration to complete, I faced time management problem. As this is a group work, we managed to delegated the task properly among us. We also manage our time to seek for tutorial properly as our tutor was not able to attend the tutorial class physical.
At first part of this assignment, I struggled to sketch for the circulation and zoning diagram as it was my first time doing diagram drawings. I kept in contact with my tutor and ensure I learn and also improve my diagram drawings after every tutorial.
