Project 2: Individual Reflection

For this project assignment, we have to produce a report and layout drawings based on our site visit we went, which is the 3K MPSJ at Subang Jaya. In a group of 4, we had divided ourselves in 2 part, two people doing the report while the other two do the layout drawing.

I was in charged of the report together with Goh Pei San, while Chia Kha Wen and Thian Bing Xun did the layout drawing. For the report, Pei San and I divide our workload into parts, as I take the introduction, enviroment of the site, natural physical feature, vegetation, sensory and building services. Both of us still help each other when we had difficulties on our part. By keeping in track with our other group members, we managed to finish everything and hand our submission in one piece. To my group members, thank you for your hard work.

We need to include UBBL(Uniform Building By-Laws 1984) Acts into the report as well. I realize how important it is to understand the laws before designing a building. It is for the safely of the people and the building as well. There are some laws acts that I don't quite understand fully yet, so I will need to ask my lecturers about it in the future.  

Observation Journals - Task 5

For this task,we were told to sketch out 3 different type of joints on our study trip to Singapore. The types of joints are Rivet, Welded and, Nut and bolts. Since I wasn't able to attend the study trip due to personal issues, we were told that those who didn't go to the trip will need to sketch out 2 objects of each joints. 

These are my sketches:

Reflection:

I had a hard time on understand what rivet joints are, It took me awhile to understand it and I also counldn't find it easily like the other joints. The other joints are easier to find since it can be found at anywhere around us. I'm not used to rivet joints before which is why I was having difficulting to identified one. It had show me how lack I was in types of joints around me. I would need to taking note of the joints properly now.

This task is a group of 4 people project and we need to draw our chosen furniture in front view, elevation, section, detail drawings and assembly drawing, together with specification and title block.

After the submission, we were told to give remarks on other group drawing and vice versa. After the comments made from our coursemates, we have to re-draw it into our journals. The drawing below is my revision remarks drawing:

Reflection:

I quite suprised how many small and careless mistake me and my group had made in our drawing. I could have said the same for other groups as well.. By doing these type of observation on what is wrong on this drawing itself,  really helps us a lot. It actually made me realize on the mistake that we do and makes us understand it more in a proper way. I will hope that I won't be making th same mistake in the nearest future.
