INTRODUCTION
|
Man
through the ages have learned much from nature to live their life. The integration
of various elements of nature has formed many magnificent structures that have long inspired them to build their own structures, and thus foster
their civilization. The
aerodynamic characteristics of bird’s wings have sparked the ideas to create
the thing that can fly: ‘an airplane’, which is then further innovated by
several modernist architects in designing various eco-friendly buildings that can
maximize the breeze and at the same time minimize the wind load. So does other
remarkable man-made structures that have been obviously inspired by nature,
like the ‘palm oil tree- like’ of KLIA columns and shell-like roof of Sydney
Opera House. This clearly shows that there are so many design elements in
nature like lines, shapes, forms, colours, textures etc. that can be creatively
‘mimicked’ by man in building their own structures that can benefit all, not
only mankind, but also mother nature that they have borrowed from their
children.
|
OBJECTIVES
|
§ To enhance students’ understanding of basic elements and principles of design
through observation of existing natural and man-made structures.
§ To enhance students’
creativity in presenting their ideas selectively and graphically.
§ To nourish students’ skills in
creative thinking, observation, sketching, rendering, colouring, writing
description and composing graphical images.
|
TASKS
& REQUIREMENTS

Project
2a: Natural Structure
§ Students
are required to produce a black &

§ Students
are also required to do write up (using ‘uppercase architectural lettering’)
describing the object chosen for the sketch.
§ At
the back of the mounting board, students should paste the actual photo (black
& white) of the object chosen. Students also need to write the name of the
object and the location where it is found below the photo.
§ Medium: 1 A3 size cartridge paper on board
(standard template with landscape orientation: see Appendix A).
Project
2b: Man-Made Structure
§ Students
are required to produce a coloured
drawing of a man-made structure
that can be found around USM Main Campus.
§ The
man-made structure should not be more than one-storey height which clearly
exposes its main structures like bus stop, car porch, covered pathway, wakaf
etc.
§ In
addition to the elements of light and shadow, the drawing should also include
human figure as a reference of scale.
§ Students
are also required to do write up (using uppercase architectural lettering)
describing the object chosen for the drawing.
§ At
the back of the mounting board, students should paste the actual photo foto
(black & white) of the object chosen. Students also need to write the name

INTRODUCTION
|
Men
are the caliphs of the earth, created
with the same purpose; to obey The Creator and to prosper the world (memakmurkan bumi). But, their tasks may
differ slightly depending on their unique attitudes, interests, mindsets,
talents and physicals traits (body shape, form, skin colours etc). So do the
actors of the built environment i.e. architect, interior
designer, urban & regional planner, building surveyor, building
technologist, quantity surveyor, construction manager, contractor, developer
etc. Although they are equipped with different expertise and bear different responsibilities,
but they all share the same aim and move integratedly towards the same point: ‘a
better built environment’. Thus, knowing about the self, particularly on our uniqueness,
passion and strength is indeed vital in understanding the existence and importance
of us here, which in turn not only benefit other actors in the built
environment, but also the people at large.
|
OBJECTIVES
|
§ To stimulate students’ appreciation of
beauty and aesthetics through an observation of themselves as the best of all creations
(‘sebaik-baik kejadian’).
§ To encourage students to rediscover their true selves and be able to
represent themselves graphically using basic design elements like lines,
shapes, forms and colours.
§ To introduce students with basic sketching & drawing techniques,
lettering, writing description and composing graphical
images.
§ To introduce students with the importance and responsibilities of every
actor in built environment
|
TASKS & REQUIREMENTS

surveyor / or construction manager, what can they contribute for the betterment
of the built environment
§ The descriptions should be hand-written (pen ink) using ‘uppercase
architectural lettering’.
§ Medium: 1 A3 size cartridge paper on board (refer standard
template (portrait orientation) below).
Project
1b: Personal Logo
§ Students need to create a ‘PERSONAL LOGO’ (as their ‘personal branding’) that
best reflects their personality and strengths.
§ The logo design should contain a maximum of 3 colours.
