Materiality of SPACE:Bubba Gump

For this assignment, I joined a group of 5 to do a site analysis about the building materials. The place we chose for the site visit is Bubba Gump located in Sunway Pyramid. For the individual assignment, I chose the reserved area to do the individual research on the sense of materiality.

I had gained a lot of knowledge about common building material used in the interior and exterior of a building, I can know about the chemical composition, properties and the advantage of using the specific material in the building from seeing, touching and even searching for the information. Other than that, I also learnt about the good documentation and arrangement of informations on a limited size of board with the help of photoshop. This helps me to produce a neat layout that improve the visual presenting skills.
Besides that, I had gained a better understanding in how the use of material can produce a different atmosphere in the building. It will definitely help me in choosing better material in producing aesthetics and different style of building in the future. Lastly, I am able to brush up my analytic skill to do research in different kind of material through this assignment.

The Cubes

Our class was assigned to create two cubes which are one paper cube and one wooden cube. I used the black mounting board to create the paper cube and bamboo chopstick to create the wooden cube.

From this assignment, I had a chance to experiment with various type of materials to create the cube. It was a good attempt for me to try to cut, test and assemble the material with the correct tool and glue. It helps me to understand better about the properties and the limitation of the material to produce the cubes. These factors can help me in choosing and differentiating various material in the future,

Apart from it, I was able to learn to develop design from different ideas and refine it. The design process helps me to develop creative thinking skills. I am also more capable in managing my time as making model trains our patience and time management to complete the model in short time.
