Planning for Eden

Urban Planning assignment, this time there is no more individual work, time for some collaboration. And our team did fine, consisting of me myself , chinteck, yahnrur, wanting and jueyfang. Everyone had points of contribution,technical, transportation. And in the end, we came up with Eden as our concept , focussing on greenery and centralising the commercial area for better circulation for the residents.

Though this is not my cup of tea, its not easy planning..got rejected for countless of times and those countless of sleepless nights. Yet, lessons were learnt about individuals, and planning. Fo this assignment, we had to conduct a residential plan on the designated site and a brochure(CFZ n Penang inspired) to describe what is a Laporan Cadangan Pembangunan, ohya, we did a model as a bonus.

Ohya we had fun playing with the photoshoots. Countless of memories, not forgetting my injured arm and my car incidents.


Memories, so Barbara Streisand.









btw: I am suffocating with my designer's house...why cant i just get things right?

I expected the unexpected. Next, gonna have to design an interior of a room. BORING


Guess what? my current lecturer hates ID(interior Design) and he is supposed to be an interior design lecturer.

Blasphemy?



Though i kinda disagree with just certain points he points out, i could see wisdom and experience and also his care for the world through his speech. His thoughtful insight clearly reflects who he is as a devoted Muslim (seems so) and i respect him for that. I could see that he cares , tried to make a change , however was ignored.


Ignorance is a bliss. Thus, it is taking a toll on our enviornment, built environment. I value deeply his insight which kinda made me more conscious of my designs .This is the kind of education i wanna receive. It may not be Bartlett or AA worthy yet it makes me think, argue, act. It helps me in the process of developing. I dont wanna be spoonfed or allowed to grow all by myself. I want guidance, the right guidance.




another lecturer told me: As an architect, you have to follow instructions(in a stern manner).



and i thought: it was just a small matter , why all the anger? maybe thats what that snips the smile on your face. Ohya. if Frank Gehry followed all the instrcutions, would there be the Guggenheim Musuem??? hello... wake up people...


Zaha Hadid said that architecture is not related to Art..sort of like that.


I beg to differ. I am an individual. I have my own thoughts. Insight are welcomed through the front door but there is always a back door too shoo off unwanted guests.

im taking a risk on this one.

i'm really loving this fresh and exotic thought of me.

its Dangerous with a capital D..

its Do or Die time.

site analysis

currently working on an ubran planning-based assignment. However, i gotta find time to post about my site analysis yar..

Site analysis is basically about understanding your site , the loaction where you intend to place your structure/shelter. In this case i chose the USM golf course as my site where there are many plains, hills, beautiful secluded place..perfect for La Croissance.



i find my site beautiful, untouched, unspoiled, away from all trouble.Throughout this assignment, i find things a little to rigid as i mentioned earlier. Im more like water, i flow. Freezing is not an option for me.

Thus, this report like assignment was tough for me. I just cant imagine myself doing this the rest of my life. Yet, i learnt that i have to insert my bit of myself into my assignments no matter i like it or not and make the best out of it. And eventually, i learnt and enjoyed.



I wished i could stick with my initial plan for this report. However, deadlines are deadlines.
Love the landscape pics i took
