The community-based services in CSI module for SABD are to expose students to the real community living in the real-life situation. We are to cooperate as a group for structural, culture, and environmental improving activities in the communities of various of different socio-economic status and social groups. The series of community services are offered as student strengthening project, we are given the flexibility to pick and to execute the task in the most ideal way, within the budget and time limitation given. As architecture student, we were then required to propose and execute design answers to handle the analyzed issues.
PROJECT 1 - Time-line and Diagram Analysis
The greatest architectural transformation followed Merdeka, or Independence in 1957. Kuala Lumpur and other parts of Malaysia was transformed from colonial towns into parts of the new nation and Kuala Lumpur became its capital. Proud symbols of nationhood were expressed in new and daring forms. Innovative construction techniques and industrialized components changed the scale of commercial buildings and enabled the erection of the first prominent buildings and sky scrapers that shaped the nations modern architectural scene. According to Ar. Chan Seong Aun, president of Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (2013-2015), most Malaysian architecture of the modern movement are not documented thoroughly and have not made the list of heritage buildings. The Subang airport for example has been replaced by a “non descript warehouse. It is therefore important that we properly record the heritage of Malaysian architecture before it is destroyed and lost forever.
This research project adopts document analysis methodology that involves documenting, analyzing, producing, and a critical chronological and diagrammatical interpretation of Modern Malaysian architectural history. This project emphasizes critical analysis of the post Merdeka/Independence of Malaysian architecture in the effort to understand the influences of post-modernism to architectural design and construction, building science and technology, and urban design. The project is to distinguish the way in which many diverse factors contribute to the development of Modern Malaysian architecture. The development of the project will involve active discussion, analysis interpretation and consultation with the tutor.

OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT
THE OBJECTIVES OF THIE ASSIGNMENT ARE AS FOLLOWS:
-
To allow students to undertake a research analysis process on Modern Malaysian architecture practices throughout history through literature review and document analysis and present an appropriate chronological account of the Malaysian architecture based on the understanding gained through the analysis procedure.
-
To familiarize students with the activities of culmination and production of a research analysis through assemblage, chronological indices and evaluation of information; composing and organization of study; assembly of illustration and text; design layout composition; poster and presentation.
-
To introduce visual and critical thinking through learning from precedents with diagramming, and to introduce the basic principles of form, space and order in the architectural design of Modern Malaysian architecture.
LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THIS PROJECT
-
Analyze and discuss the relationship of the Modern Architecture of Malaysia with social, cultural, environmental and intellectual context of Malaysian architecture post Merdeka/Independence.
-
Differentiate the way in which many varied factors contribute to the development of Modern Malaysian Architecture
-
Produce, a diagrammatic analysis illustratively and in text, a critical chronology analysis interpretation of Modern Malaysian architecture.
-
A continuous chronology poster.
-
An on-line data account of the Modern Architecture chronology and diagrammatic analysis interpretation
-
of Malaysian architecture also containing references and bibliography.
PROJECT 2 - Report ( web book platform)
on this last project, Form a group of 5. The group will lead an examination and design investigation on a chose building. at that point, we are to record and examine the structures, that have been picked and remove the confirmations of the profitable of the Architecture and its authentic foundation. The discoveries are to be accumulated in papers and to be submitted utilizing a web book stage. Web book is a distribution in advanced shape, comprising of content (report), pictures, or both.
