Semester 4 - NGO Training Centre

In my semester 4 degree programme, I have been given the project to design a new NGO office and training centre. The organization which my lecturer appointed to me was the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The first task of it, I need to understand their problems and how to promote the organizations, thus, I have to traveled to their office and interview with their representatives in order to find out more about them  rather than depending on the internet out sources.

After getting the information from them, the lecturer asked us to design a kiosk for NGO, which can help them to promote their programmes and activities, so that the organization can grow in the numbers of people that will volunteer to help the NGO.

Below is the design of the kiosk. It is a 2m X 2m size kiosk before it is opened up for full operation. However, the touch screen interactive panels still can be operate via the movement sensor which is installed. the entire kiosk are built for outdoor, it is water resistance. This kiosk can be extend until 4m x 4m size.

The presentation board of the kiosk design

Later on we moved to the design of the proposed site at Jalan Lew Weng Chee off Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. The site was an abandoned residential bungalow unit.The design of the building must included with a hostel or dorm for the trainee. It also must be a green building design Meaning there will be less consumption of energy used and also the air ventilation in the building must be of natural ventilated and environmental friendly.

Below shows the images of the perspectives and also the presentation board.

Semester 3 - Toy Museum (Wooden Toy City)

The design of the museum is based on the crafted wood piece which looks like a deconstruction object or a diamond shaped object. Entire museum will be in white color wall and ceiling, as for the floor will be natural cement color. Lighting used in the interior is very minimal, only warm light is used.

This is the design of entrance ticketing and information counter for the museum

Final Year Project - Photography Art Gallery

This final year project that I have had completed is about Photography Art Gallery. The overall proposal is to express the value of photography to the society. This is because nowadays people do not know about the history of the photography and who is the one that invented it in the first place. Therefore, a 2 stories shop lots with approximately 3640 square meters area were to make into a gallery and institutional whereby people can come together and learn more about photography in terms of the history and also the techniques of taking an artistic photos.

           
 The attractions of this gallery are the interactive gallery, darkroom demo, sideway garage and 3D mural art painting. Other than that, there will be café which served some of the enlightenment to the visitors which are waiting for their turn to go into the gallery or public visitors that wanted to try out the coffees or deserts or both.

           
There will be classes on the upper floor of the gallery which only enter by the volunteers, employees and members of the gallery. The purpose of having these privileges classes is to gather more people who are willing to pay a certain price to learn more about photography; at the same time the members also can have a chance to get their own freelance jobs when they sign up as members after certain numbers of classes they attended of course.

            The class which is provided is:-

                         ·         Darkroom training

                         ·         Studio training

                         ·         Album making studio training

                         ·         Editing classes with software

                         ·         History lessons
               ·       And many more.

Interior Architecture Design 5 - The Boutique Hotel

As mention in earlier post, the boutique hotel theme have to be different that what we seen out there. How different it is?Well, for the theme which I have come out with is a restoration hotel that goes by the name "Timeline Boutique Hotel", a hotel where by people will donate their old furniture or send their old furniture to be repaired. For those furniture which the hotel have collected from the donors, it will be sell out and part of it as a decoration in the hotel. But before starting into the design of it, we have to analyse the site and study the advantages and the disadvantages of it. Below is the site analysis done by me.

Site analysis board with the advantages and disadvantages of the site and hotel 

After the analysis been done, then we move on to the next stage, which is to design the boutique hotel. As requested, each one of our hotel must have a connection from floor to floor, which means, we have to design the layout with a void in it, then only we can see the beauty of the space. Delay no more, below will be the pictures of the final board arrangements, 3D perspectives and also the model of the hotel.
