PROJECT 3: WEEKEND GETAWAY
@ NATIONAL BOTANICAL GARDEN SHAH ALAM
On our own, we are to further develop our project 2 into a Weekend Getaway at National Botanical Garden. A Weekend Getaway denotes ‘A place where one escapes for relaxation, recreation and vacation for a short period of time.’ This Weekend Getaway must function as habitable architectural spaces to enable the activity associated with living, dining, showering, cooking, storage and such within the built up space of 150 m2. The relationship between your design and the context is also important in making the Weekend Getaway unique to its landscape and activity.

REFLECTION:
Throughout this project, I can individually interpret and analyse simple site context. I also able to interpret and analyse client’s character and needs in relation to the design of a small building. I cab design a simple building type that meets user requirements and respect site context that balances both internal (architectural spaces/layout/circulation) and external (aesthetics and forms) design values. I learnt how to use different modelling materials to achieve good workmanship outcome. I learn to improve my verbal presentation skill.
