ICI - Project 1 / Project 2

Project 1

For our first project, different group leaders were picked from groups A, B, and C. Each group leader was given a respective role in this industry to interview on.

My group leader was Ayuni and we were lucky enough to interview an Interior Architect!
Our group consisted of Ayuni - as the leader, Me, Eugene, Chuu Yee and Johnson. Ayuni drove us to KL to search for his office in Varitas - a well known firm. We were very previlaged enough to interview someone from that firm.

He was indeed a very inspiring man.

So, our project 1 task had individual work and group work. For individual work we had to create a magazine based on the interview and for our group work, we had to create a video of the interview.

Individual Task - A magazine

Reflection : This project was really a stepping stone for me to do "graphic work" digitally. Before this, I was really handicapped with digital work. Hence, I used powerpoint for this assignment. I wanted to do this assignment by hand. But I decided to push through and grab inspirations from the net to make it "simple" yet - hopefully - "sleek"! As I said, this was definitely a stepping stone for me to work digitally.

Project 2

For this group project, I was in group A. Kimbereley was nominated as leader for this group. For this assignment, we had to look into our own respective role and work as a whole team in a construction industry. Therefore for group work we had to create a project brief for a proposal and for individual work we had to create our own company profile, and roles. I was lucky enough to be an architect and got to learn loads about this role.

Project Brief :

This was my company profile.

These are my company cards and letterhead.

Reflection : 

I got to know about the role of the architect in deeper depth. I also learned, as in really learned ways on how to use illustrator which I never did think I would achieve. And I am pleased about it. I also thank the lecturers for their motivation and constructive critisism for our work to push us. This project really was an eye opener and ice breaker for me for this industry to know more about the roles and the process of a specific role. It was fun and challenging at the same time.

The Journal

Tj1 from koezan

Reflection :

Throughout this first TJ, I am able to learn about the importance on the need to restore and conserve the environment. This is very important to our natural environment as commercialized buildings are increasing whilst the trees in nature and our natural habitat is decreasing. Therefore, we shouldn't take nature for granted.

We had our first assignment which was ; Essay Writing.

 For this assignment, we were required to write a 5-paragraphed expository/argumentative essay on our own through references from books or the internet. This was to evaluate our knowledge and ability to research information to support the arguments, point of views and opinions for the essay. This was a learning process for us to learn how to cite the sources of information and to also provide a list of references.

3 tasks were given to us :

1. In some countries young people have little leisure time and are under a lot of pressure to work hard in their studies. What do you think are the causes and effects of this condition? Plan your response, and then write a cause and effect essay. 

 2. Write a compare or contrast essay about any two traditional houses of your choice. 

 3. Identify the steps involved in producing an attractive sketch. Then, write a process essay to describe this process. 

 The tasks I chose was ; number 1 as it was more relatable and understanding as it has been an issue in this time era. 

(The front cover and pre-writing are situated at the end of the slide)

Reflection : As I enjoy writing, and stating facts I did enjoy writing this assignment and giving my opinions regarding this issue. It broadened my way of thinking critically as well as I had to give my opinions. I definitely learned a lot while writing this essay in terms of research and understanding as well.

Learning outcomes : 

Discipline specific knowledge.

Intrapersonal skills.

 

Life-long learning.

Assignment 2 : Oral Presentation 

For our second assignment, we had an oral presentation. We - as a group had to make a video (oral) presentation that lasted 5 minutes. The video was based on us talking about any famous architect. The architect we chose was Ms Shila Prakash. Mainly because her designs are very distinctive and different from the rest.

Reflection : It was without a doubt, odd to talk in front of the camera, but the more you practise through the errors you make, the easier it becomes. I definitely had fun doing this oral presentation as I've learned how to make impromptu sentences as well. I've learn that during oral presentations, it isn't all about memorizing the facts and it is more about understanding what you want to say and what you know. 

Learning outcome : 

communication skills.

Digital literacy.

Interpersonal skills.
