MALACCA FOR A VISITORS' INTERPRETIVE CENTRE

19 Arch Degree Students from Taylor's College decended on beautiful Malacca City last Friday in search of essences of the personality of Middlesburgh Bastion (the original and the reconstructed) in a quest to design the most didatic visitors' interpretive centre for it. They looked hard.

REFLECTING AT THE START OF THE TOUR:

...AT THE END OF THE TOUR THIS MORNING

I guess they looked very hard.

Rubbish?

Does this look familiar to you?
Yes, it is my interim presentation model.

I went to college this morning not just to return a book and also to take back my presentation model so that I can up grade it for my further design. So, the first place that I drop off is studio obviously, the first impression when I when into studio was, WOW so clean (uncle Nava and 3 cleaner was sitting in the studio), at the wow time, I know that there is something wrong about the wow, studio are not suppose to be that clean as our home…after one minute, I started to ask the cleaner, WHERE IS MY MODEL? And I turn around to the dustbin as usual as logic reaction, OH NO…my poor little model, it was folded into half and squeezed inside the green rubbish bin. OMG, not just mine was inside the rubbish bin, some of our zone analysis panels, models, and interim panels as well.

WHAT IS GOING WRONG?
I know the cleaner won’t do that, because I know they won’t touch or throw anything which is on top of the table. So I started to question…the cleaner said her boss ask her to clean up everything. So I went down to talk to the manager of PRD, Mr. Jefferson. The feedback that I get from him was he didn’t tell the cleaner to touch the thing on the table (okay, there is a miss-communication between the employee and employer).

AS I KNOW…through out the conversations between the cleaner and Mr. Jefferson.
1. Studio 7 and 6 (the big studio) is rated as the dirtiest studio ever (student was complain about the studios are dirty by the evaluation feedback)…of cause la 3 batches of students are using the same studio, what you expect o?
2. In the college policies, the object which is on top of the table will not be touch by the cleaner, where else the stuff that are under the table will be throw away.
3. The cleaner are very clear that our studio are use to be that messy because we are doing model, but I think Mr. Jefferson didn’t know that.

THE MESSAGE
Please throw away materials that you are not going to use. You can just leave it on the floor. Please throw away your empty water bottle, can and food container into the rubbish bin. Just a simple and small action will make our uncomfortable studio a little bit more friendly and to avoid more victims.

I already saved whatever I can, Clement and Rebecca your model are saved but is all screwed up, and I know some of you lost your interim panel also because you left your panel on the table. Luckly that i went to college today and reach studio at the right time, if not all our stuff will gone.

TUTORIAL COMMENT

Unit 1 of Dip Studio 3, based on your submissions yesterday there appears to be the following generic building types (and their sub genres) being tackled.

Gallery (trade skill, place, person, architecture, people group, & food)
Culture Centre (dance)
Library
Restaurant
Recreation Centre (music, children, educational, elderly, wheeled)
Sports Centre (wheeled)
Entertainment Centre

Some have, of course, submitted hybrid types.

For a 600 sq.m. of all the above building types you would almost invariably need the following spaces and utilities:

Entrance Lobby
Admin Office and staff facilities
Toilets for visitors (min requirements: Male with 3 basins, 3 urinals, 2 cubicles, & Female with 3 basins, 3 cubicles)
Staff toilets/w.c. and
Storage, Cleaners' facilities, Mech & Elec room(s)

The rest of the space requirements that make up the 600 sq.m. will then depend on your specific program and sub-genre. And it will also depend on how u synergise with the surroundings for shared space, etc.

FOR THE FORTHCOMING TUTORIAL ON TUE, assess your scheme against comments received from yesterday's presentation and this posting. Bring your A1 panels and models. We'll have a 45min group discussion starting at 1315h (DON'T BE LATE) followed by individual tutorials. We'll make the sequence when we meet. No pre-bookings required.

SHADOWS, AZIMUTHS & SUN PATHS

For those of u into precise predictions of shadows from the sun this is a good site to kick off with:
