In a group of 5, we are to choose a site, it can be a housing area, shopping area, shop or anything and through site visit, we need to study and understand their materials used on site, and the effect of the specific material to the site. The site we chosen is Publika. Publika consist of a shopping mall, two shop lots, a small park and a plaza.
We are to create 3 group boards and 1 individual board. The group board including a introduction of the site, a materials list and a mood board.

Group Board and Mood Board

Individual part

For individual part, the site I choose is the corridor. The reason I choose this very command site is because I feel like studying more indepth of it, the materials used to make this command corridor look unique with fully funtionable, the visibility and circulation are very important on this site with the help of the materials used. Like different floor finishes to differentiate different area. I found that this is a very interesting part to do with.

Building Materials - Project 1 Solid vs Void

Solid vs Void
In this project, we are to create a model which reflect the understanding of solid and void, light and shadow. The model can be made out of any materials but maximum 3 types, the material we used must be relate to the topic as well and form a strong bond with the model. A presentation board is required.

The shape I choose was cuboid because in my opinion it is the most efficiency and effective shape. My model will be a combination of cubiod to form a bigger cubiod frame. Inside the cubiod frame is void space, there I can use my creativity to make someting on it, for example, using stick-liked cuboid frame with sequence from small to big to create a visual effect of depth. Then, use different sizes of cubiod with different material and stacking it up to give a elevated kind of visual effect.
As for the material I used, are aluminium sheet because of it hardness, plastic sheet, and cardboard.
