We are given six new developed neighbourhood areas as following: Bayan Residences, Relau, Penang Sunway Mutiara, Batu Maung, Penang Sunway Bukit Gambier, Penang Siara 81, Sg. Ara, Penang Sunway Merica, Sg. Ara, Penang Setia Greens, Sg. Ara, Penang I chose Siara 81 as my analysis target. Since it is quite far from USM campus, I went together with my friends in group.

Some important features: Location plan, key plan, site plan, scale, sun path, direction of prevailing wind, legend and facilities provided around the area. Based on some

Presentation Drawings

This is something I never expected. Blueprint,  a technical drawing that acts as a plan or model.  It documents an engineering or architecture design. Examples of blueprint: I need to draw the blueprints of 'THE HEXA' that I had done in the previous project! It is a very tough job as the design is quite complicated. Gotta pull up my socks to finish the project in time. Plan, front, rear, left and right view Two point perspectives to draw out 'The Hexa' with a human figure to indicate the scale                 Axonometric Drawing- isometric which is in 30 degree elevation Colour with Alpha Water Colors PS: I made mistakes in the drawing: the furniture should have some thickness to indicate its volume.  It is learning process anyway.

After discussion, we decided to create something different.     Making of our furniture model using wooden sticks This is a table that is attached to the chair.  The concept is  space saver. It can be pulled up and down so you  can pull it up when you need a table. Otherwise, it will appear as a chair. The design is called 'THE HEXA'.                                                                                            We were inspired by honeycomb for our design as its hexagonal pattern is prevalent in nature due to its efficiency.  We designed the chair without backrest so that people can sit on it from any side and does not block the beau
