THE BAMBOO PROJECT
PROJECT BRIEF
Understanding the project task & methodology which is to study on material and structure, study on ergonomics, idea exploration on test model, tattoo stamps, doing orthographic drawings and building bamboo
Designing a shading structure and space for university students’ activities (such as waiting, resting, taking selfie, reading, meeting) which to be located at University Square, Taylor’s University. We will explore construction details, joinery, and structural quality and how the selected materials work together and also produce orthographic drawing on the Shading structure
INITIAL IDEAS
Idea exploration for our shading structure,
STUDY ON MATERIAL
We had to ï‚· explore and understand materials’ characteristics ï‚· Material: Bamboo, Supporting Materials: rope, steel, tensile fabric, construction methods
STUDY ON ERGONOMICS
Exploration of human form and action ï‚· You are to measure and record measurement of your body in diagram (Height, Head dimension, shoulder, limps, floor to knee/hips/abdomen, height in tip toe position /stretching arms position, etc)
IDEA EXPLORATION / TEST MODELS
Exploration of different design ideas with test models.
DRAFT TATTOO STAMPS / RESEARCH
Finalized Pdf of my movie poster Produced individual stamps based on depicting the implementation of our progress of using design elements and principles to create form and space.
FEEDBACKS / PROGRESS
ï‚· Planning of equipment and construction materials,ï‚· site management & constructive feedbacks from tutor to develop more.
ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWINGS
Finalized Orthographic drawings (elevations, 1 section, 1 floor plan, axonometric drawing, tectonic details and 1 top view at scale 1:10)
FINAL PRESENTATION
Thanks to friends and tutor to bring our shading structure to life
FINAL WORK

REFLECTION
DISIPLINE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE
I've learned the basic understanding of structure in general, design principles and architectural terminologies on application to spatial and form configuration
THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING
I managed to create and work as a huge group on a structure installation and understand material, quality of space, human scale, and articulation form When I was advised to improve on my individual ideas, I keep updated my progress to my tutor.
INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
I communicate well and interact with my tutor effectively whenever I'm having difficulties. Upon completing the big bamboo project now I'm capable choosing the right members to work on construction industries in future.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
I've learned to communicate with my tutor whenever I'm unclear on certain directions of the task. I was keep updating my progress to my lecture in a short tutorial time with good communication skills.
