ARC 2615 INTERNSHIP TRAINING FINAL REPORT
- 4. ARC 2615 INTERNSHIPREPORT Throughout this 8 weeks of internship fulfilling my work responsibilities at Arkitek JFN Sdn. Bhd., I have gained a wealth of knowledge regarding the stages of planning or building submissions, a tip or two regarding technical requirements related to authorities, and also experienced the flow of work in an architecture firm. During my time here, I have been involved in a total of 2 main projects and also been helping out colleagues with other few projects with various stages. Main projects: (i) Interior exhibition design for an intermediate double storey traditional heritage shophouse at 59, China Street. (ii) Renovation and extension work of a 2 storey intermediate terrace house at Lot 2679, No 610, Kenyalang Park. Side projects: (i) ArcAsia Awards presentation drawings and report/ (ii) Proposed Medium Cost Housing Development at Lot 2814 Kota Samarahan Division - Terrace Houses & Low Cost Apartments. (iii) Proposed Pejabat Residen & Daerah Sundar, Lawas, Limbang Division. (iv) Renovation and refurbishment work for Sarawak Tourism Board office at Kuching Plaza. (v) Proposed housing / lodging facility at Lot 734 Santubong. In the first few weeks, I was tasked with producing design options for the interior layout and design of the interior spaces for the double storey intermediate heritage shophouse. This stepping stone project was given out and introduced to me during my first office internal briefing with Ar. Mike Boon. Before entering any sort of design processes, I was first tasked to study and
- 5. analysis the preliminary3D model of the shophouse and also study and investigate its existing as built drawings in order to familiarize myself with the interior spaces and structure of the building. Investigation and further deeper understanding of the building was also carried out through photographic investigation and research of the existing building taken on site. Once this is executed, I attended a numerous amount of site visit in order to actually witness and experience the overall ambiance and what the interior space of the shophouse has to offer. Apart from that, I was also tasked into producing a systematic and proper inventory list in order to document all the existing items and exhibits the client has and intend to exhibit. This includes documenting it in terms of dimensions, specifications, images and also its current condition. Client-consultant meeting was also attended in order to familiarize myself with the client and also a typical CCM procedure. For the second main project which I was assigned to, I was tasked to study and analyse existing as built drawings of a 1960s-1970s double storey intermediate terrace house. This includes studying imperial scaled drawings which includes cadastral plans, site and locality plans, drawing plans, sections, elevations and also detailed drawings and detail schedule. Once doing so, I was tasked to reproduce the drawings into proper technical AutoCAD drawings using the given and stated dimension and specification accordingly. Using the completed AutoCAD drawings, I was then assigned to transfer them into SketchUp and reconstructing the entire building into a 3D model and thus can be reproduce into drawings and clearer sections. Along the way apart from these 2 main projects, I was also tasked to help out other colleagues with other different projects which includes coloring of submission drawings for the authorities, helping out with detail modelling and also SPA drawing submission. Besides, I also had the great opportunity to
- 6. partake in submittingdrawings two different council authorities in Kuching which are MBKS (Majlis Bandaraya Kuching Selatan) and DBKU (Dewan Bandaraya Kuching Utara) respectively in order to introduce and familiarize myself with submission drawings and procedures. What I have learned most of all throughout this 8 weeks period of internship aside from technicalities and procedures of an architectural firm is that there is so much more to a building than appearances and aesthetics. There are many minute details which I tend to overlook during my academical period when designing, such as good details and design choices that have become a norm that it would go by unnoticed by other people who are not in this field, but should not be so the case for an architect. The ability and skills of being observant is something that I hope to be able to obtain, acquire and master someday so I may better myself in order to become a professional architect.
