Large group task
I chose to do sensory studies along with 19 other students at Bukit Jalil Recreational Park
Jong Joe Yee volunteered to be the group leader and she had delegated the site to 3 parts
I was in Part A and had to observe the environment using my 5 sensory organs and note them down
Small group and individual task
Site 1
Site 2
We have to distribute into small group (5-6 person), I grouped up with:
-Chong Pei En
-Kong Xin Yu
-Siew Fang Jie
-Lee Zi Xian
We had to choose any 2 of potential micro-sites with the lake view
We were to produce Site Analysis using Design Response Vignettes matrix for both sites
Site analysis for Site 1
Site analysis for Site 2
Site 1
At same time, we individually had to choose one of the potential site and suggest minimum of two (2) site use alternatives diagrams
I had chosen to do the Site Use Alternatives for Site 1
The Site Use Alternatives has to be in minimum of two (2) A3s size papers
Site use alternatives
Final individual task
I have to design a Tropical Wildlife Discovery Unit at Bukit Jalil Recreational Park.
The structure should be within the built-up space of maximum 100sqm and be able to accommodate 2 people
The unit must correspond to the immediate tropical site context

reflection
From this assignment, I'm able to interpret and analyze simple site context, interpret and analyze users’ characters and needs in relation to the design of a small structure, design a simple building type that meets user requirements and respect site context that balances both internal (architectural spaces/layout/circulation) and external (aesthetics and forms) design values.
In this assignment, I learnt about how to conduct analysis about sensory and make it into a report for study. Besides that, I learnt how to do site analysis with Design Response Vignettes matrix and also learn about what is site context which is an important part of this assignment.
As I'm required to present to invited people from the architecture industry, I had to prepare myself to ensure I can let them know what I want to express about the site, my model and drawings. I learnt how to present bravely and also using the right words in order for them to understand what I want to deliver. This presentation helped me to improve as the panelist gave their feedback.
As this was the final assignment, I struggled a lot as I also have other modules' assignments to rush with. I learnt how to manage my time properly although extension were not given. I did not procrastinate a lot and manage my time well to meet the due date. I pined up my work on time in studio.
