Project 1: PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF HERITAGE BUILDING
We were asked to carry out investigation on selected building, Penang shophouse. In a group of 3, we were to compile detailed drawings as well as history, introduction, significance,etc. Throughout this assignment, we have a deeper understanding about the historical and social background of Penang shophouses.
Project 2: DILAPIDATION SURVEY
In a group of 3, we were required to produce a Dilapidation Survey of selected buildings, Coliseum Theatre and Coliseum Cafe. The purpose of the Survey is to state level of building defects. Based on observation, we were to produce annotated photographic study diagnosing building defects.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Able to understand the method and theories of conserving architecture
2. Able to indentify various defects based on observation
Project 3: PROPOSAL FOR ADAPTIVE REUSE
This project required us to propose for potential new usage for building conservation. As individual, I were asked to investigate and observe practices and approaches on architecture conservation in Malaysia. The same building is used as that in project 2, Coliseum Theatre. My proposal is to turned the current theatre into a music academy in order to rejuvenate the city as well as for learning purpose.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Gain exposure to a wide and diverse range of practice and debate in the field
2. Learn to appreciate heritage buildings and the importance of conservation in continuing the history to next generaion.
