    The document discusses various architecture projects from first to third year students as well as other competitions. The projects cover areas like housing, markets, learning centers, and schools.

    The projects cover a range of scales from furniture to buildings. They address briefs related to housing, public facilities, and competitions focused on sustainability.

    Many of the projects emphasize the use of natural and low-impact materials like bamboo, earth, and recycled elements. They also explore passive design strategies like natural ventilation and daylighting.

    First year projects

    Paper furniture: Inspired from the shape of comma, the


    rocking chair is built purely from cardboard with the construction concept of mortise and tenon joinery. The design played with the language of rhythm at the arrangement & side cuts of the back rest and seat panels.

    Living pod: The design of a public book sharing


    place cum reading area in the campus explored with the form of ellipse with the intention of creating a different kind of reading experience for the users.

    First year projects

    Retreat house: A house sitting on a gentle


    slope facing the sea, the open plan design took inspiration from Johnsons Glass House while attempted to replicate the humbleness of a wood hut. The sliding glass walls enable users to harness cross ventilation from sea breeze according to their preference.

    Second year projects

    Tea pavilion: Exploring with organic forms, the


    design is based on the concept of sprouting leaves from the ground where spaces are created underneath. It took advantage of the site of two different levels which separates the building with open and enclosed space on the upper and lower level respectively. The upper space is flooded with textural lights created from the skylight as one of the playful elements of the pavilion. The building will be a hybrid of materials consisting of fiberglass, reinforced concrete and glass.

    Second year projects

    UM GATEWAY + SECURITY CENTER


    The design brief requires students to replace an existing entrance gateway of the University of Malaya with a new design plus an additional security office on adjacent vacant area. The design of the gateway adopted Brutalist architecture to evoke a sense of monumentality that reflects the age of the public institution. The planning of security office is done based on the perception of security operation consistent presence, yet operates in the background.

    TAIPING MARKET
    In this project, the market design is intended to compliment the neighboring existing market by keeping its architecture simple, yet subtle which reflects the peaceful and slow pace lifestyle of the town. Spatial planning is divided straightforwardly into 3 areas: transition zone, wet and dry market zone, and services zone without compromising the design brief to adaptive reuse the 4 existing shop houses in preserving local heritage buildings. Low technology is emphasized in green technology features of the building such as natural ventilation and natural day lighting with rain water harvesting.

    Double roof (with polycarbonate roofing on top) allows for natural lighting and ventilation inside the market. Fault done: the size of gutter is not big enough to prevent leakage inside building

    TAIPING LIFELONG LEARNING CENTER


    IDEA: EMBRACE & NURTURE
    As the concept of lifelong learning is gaining momentum in Malaysia, people still tend to shy away from it due to the lack of urge to enrich themselves despite the benefits of personal fulfillment and career enhancement. Hence, the proposed center attempts to close up its physical and psychological distance to the locals by embracing them with multiple pedestrian linkages through the building in a park setting to influence them with the sounds and activities generated from the building as they walk through. The architectural design attempts to fit into the site context by rejecting the use of modern minimalist architectural faade treatment. It was not successful, but still a good attempt.

    [co]design 2011: A FUTURE BEYOND CONCRETE


    The competition brief requested for appropriate building method which minimizes or even replaces the use of concrete in construction for typical family housing which is getting more and more popular in India. Inspired by Indian vernacular architecture, the proposed solution aims to achieve zero concrete and carbon positive by adapting and enhancing traditional bamboo house on stilts construction with other natural (earth) and recyclable elements (recycled tyre).

    SCHOOL 4 BURMA 2011


    The competition brief requested for a modular free standing school that will; Encourage and reward design excellence at a small scale which integrates function, structure, details and the need for education. Research, respond to and highlight the unique aspects of designing a school with the constraints of the site. Encourage the employment of sustainable design in all aspects of the proposal. Due to the fact that the teachers and students are migrants they cannot legally buy the land on which to build but must lease instead. This means that the Thai landlords can ask them to leave at any time. In the past this has led to landlords taking and occupying any buildings that have been built for the purposes of the school. We hope to respond to this by asking all submissions to make allowance for the main building elements to be deconstructed and reerrected elsewhere, this can be done through modularization or any other similar technique. Space required: Reception (25m), Classrooms (6X12m), Canteen (40 m), Toilet (16 m), Office (12 m), Plant for water tank, cleaning and electricity system(10 m)
