Architectural Design Project 

The final design project of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Architecture, developed over 15 weeks through research, exploration, and refinement, culminating in a resolved architectural proposal that integrates creativity and technical expertise.

P1A

Project 1a — Pre-Design Studies & Analysis
This phase focuses on understanding the site, users, and socio-cultural context through research, mapping, and analysis. The aim is to identify key issues and opportunities that will inform the design direction for the final project.

P1B

Project 1b — Design Strategies & Exploration
In this phase, students individually develop the group proposal from Project 1a by exploring multiple design possibilities. The process involves testing ideas through sketches, study models, diagrams, conceptual drawings, and 3D visuals, focusing on functionality, spatial quality, form, and sustainability. The stage concludes with a pin-up presentation showing both the exploration process and the refined final scheme.

P1C

Project 1c — Final Design & Presentation
This final phase focuses on refining and fully resolving the Urban Room design with integrated environmental, technological, and structural strategies. Students address building safety compliance, materiality, and aesthetics, aiming for a holistic architectural solution. The outcome is a comprehensive final design presentation and report, demonstrating critical thinking, sustainability, buildability, and strong experiential qualities.

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."
