PROJECT 1 ​: MEMORIAL THEMED - JOURNEY OF THE 5 SENSES
In this project we are required to explore issues of spatial typologies and poetics through simple design exercises. Working in groups of 4- 5 students, Kennett Lim, Tan Wei Sen, Lim Zhao Yin, Poh Jia Jou and me are required to propose 2 schemes for a Memorial themed ‘journey for the 5 senses’. We are required to design the Memorials in the form of semi-open architecture by using two contrasting spatial types of your choice. The first memorial is designed for Thai King, King Bhumibol, the second is for Malaysia's 60th Merdeka.

PROJECT 2 : GENIUS LOCI: Site Analysis & Concept Development
Society, culture, history, memory and the landscape of a particular place echoes the meaning of that ‘place’, or its ‘genius loci’. These qualities will inform the architectural concept and generators for Project 2. The first assignment for Project 2 requires an analysis of the site context as a starting point. It is a fundamental need for any design project as it will suggest a series of parameters to suggest architectural solution, one that will be appropriate to the place and its meaning, and contributes to its context. The site chosen was the clan jetties in Penang.
Final board for interim
PROJECT 3: GENIUS LOCI: VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE (VIC)
In this project we are required to design an Interpretive Centre to emphasize a strong engagement and relationship to the site, spatial experiences and programmatic requirements.
