P1A: SITE ANALYSIS & DESIGN RESPONSE

P1B: ARCHITECTURAL ALLOTMENT

P2: USJ7 Kebun Komuniti Center

After studying AD4, I have a new understanding of architectural designers. Architects should review and reflect on their own designs when designing buildings in order to learn from them and apply them to future projects. This process is essential to improve the quality of construction1, ensure sustainable development and enhance the quality of human life.

RERLECTION

It is a relatively complex and challenging module for me because I attach great importance to construction knowledge. This module can provide me with knowledge in building-related and construction methods and techniques, which is very useful. To me, this module is far more complex than the other modules. The last module that was so challenging was Building Constrction Materials. I clearly remember that I only passed the module in the second exam. I also hope that I can pass the AAC exam in one try this time, although AAC is more difficult than BCM. Therefore, I believe this module will be very beneficial for me. I hope I can do well in the final exam!

REFLECTION

This semester has been a meaningful and transformative journey for me, and I am especially grateful for the guidance of Ms. Sze Ee. From the very beginning, I wanted to design something inspired by classical gardens, similar to the Suzhou Gardens. My vision was for my final work to be more than just a single building—it would be a harmonious combination of architecture and landscape.

​

After P1A, I began to study how to integrate elements of Suzhou Gardens into the local cultural context of Penang. However, combining a park with a building proved to be a challenge, as it required balancing two different design approaches. In July, I visited city parks in Kuala Lumpur for inspiration, exploring them through a city walk. These visits sparked new ideas, and my design went through many revisions before it reached its final form.

​

From P1B to the Final Interim, I received valuable feedback from Mr. Prince and Ms. Teh, for which I am very thankful. One of the most memorable moments was achieving a B+ in P1B and later an A in the Final Interim—my highest grades in five years at Taylor’s University.

​

Throughout this period, my daily routine was simple yet intense. I would wake up at 10 a.m., work on my project until midnight, and repeat. I devoted all my time to design, without entertainment or social activities. This experience reminded me of the Chinese saying: "Heaven rewards diligence."

​

After retaking AD4, I began to truly reflect on my approach to design. In the past, I only aimed to pass with a grade of C and graduate. But over the past year, I have pushed myself to grow, improve, and treat architecture as a craft worth my full commitment.

​

Now, I have finally achieved what I aimed for and can graduate with pride. I am satisfied with my work and grateful for the support I have received. As I close this chapter, I leave with the words: "The green hills remain, the flowing waters endure—until we meet again."
