WEEK 1: PROJECT BRIEFING

The community-based services in CSI module for SABD are to expose
students to the real community living in the real life situation. We are to
work together as a team for architectural, culture and environmental
enhancing activities in the communities of different socio-economic status
and social groups.

WEEK 3 : SITE VISIT①

SITE: Flat at Taman Seri Berembang

The first visit to the public apartment was first conducted, more specifically,
Mr.Aladayan's unit.
During this time, we identified and discussed various issues with the family.
Mainly, we found that the apartment does not have enough study space for
three kids. So we asked kids what they need or want for their study room
and which space we can plan. After this, we proceeded with our proposal.
WEEK 3-6 : MEETINGS
As a group, we met every Saturday to discuss the problems and solutions
then we distributed the research tasks before we purchase materials/
furniture. As for my task, I did research on whiteboard and corkboard, as
well as the method of stock their stuff.
The list below is that problems to be solved ;
-Insufficient space in flat, especially study room.
-Youngest child Morisha’s study blackboard has already worn out.
-Study room require standing fan.
-Only one window in study room which result in Poor ventilation.
-Noise distractions from living room affecting study space.
-Bad organization of study and storage materials in study room.
-Poor lighting in study room especially during night time.
-Worn shelf and table that is slightly unstable.

WEEK 8 : DECIDE ON MATERIALS

After we listed up the furniture/materials we need, we distributed each item
to search the supplier and price. Before we purchase, we gathered all the
information to check the total price, then presented the proposal to our tutor
and the family.

REFLECTION

Throughout this project, it doesn’t teach me that architecture is not only

about building buildings, but it is about building lives also communication.
To design something, is to bring benefit to family. It is not something that
you build it beautifully and is not functional, but a design that understands
and serve the community. It is our role to help out the need and together we
can create a better place for everyone.
