The document summarizes the intern's activities over 8 weeks at an architecture firm. In the first week, the intern helped construct a light exhibition model and learned about designing with light and shadows. In subsequent weeks, the intern worked on projects like facade designs, masterplan renderings, and site inspections, gaining experience with skills like SketchUp, Photoshop, AutoCAD, and Lumion rendering software. The intern incorporated feedback to improve presentation drawings and received guidance from senior architects. Projects exposed the intern to tasks like material selection, building ventilation calculations, and schedule creation in Microsoft Excel.
The document discusses the application of traditional Kampung house features in the Deck House to achieve thermal comfort. It analyzes features of traditional Kampung houses like orientation, interior design, windows/openings, elevated floors, and overhanging roofs that promote ventilation and reduce heat gain. These same features were adopted in the Deck House design through its orientation, light-weight elevated structure, large overhanging roof, open floor plan, and strategic window placement. The Deck House successfully integrated Kampung house passive design strategies to achieve thermal comfort in the hot, humid Malaysian climate while maintaining a modern aesthetic.

This document provides an analysis of the Robie House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Farnsworth House designed by Mies van der Rohe. Both architects aimed to design buildings that fit harmoniously with nature rather than appearing as separate structures. For the Robie House, Wright designed symmetrical forms and used specific brickwork techniques to create a horizontal visual effect that blended the building with the flat landscape. Van der Rohe's Farnsworth House featured an open floor plan with glass walls, allowing maximum interaction between occupants and the surrounding natural environment. Though their approaches differed, both architects successfully achieved a relationship between their buildings and the natural surroundings through thoughtful consideration of each site's context.
The Robie House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago, is considered one of the most famous examples of Prairie School architecture. Wright used diagrammatic models to work through the design of the house, which featured an open floor plan and horizontal lines that emphasized the connection between indoors and outdoors. These models allowed Wright to experiment with different configurations for the structure before finalizing the innovative design of the Robie House.

Le Corbusier created the Modulor system to improve architecture based on human proportions and received several awards for his contributions to the field of architecture.
Project brief 3 architecture studio 1. march 2014Teck Wei
This document outlines the requirements for Project 3 of an Architecture Design Studio course. The project involves designing a dream space for a celebrity or VIP within a given site. It is divided into two parts: Part A involves group exercises exploring design principles and analyzing existing buildings. Part B requires students to individually design 2-3 dream spaces totaling no more than 110 sqm and 15m high for a celebrity of their choice. Students must submit presentation boards, a 1:50 scale final model, a sketch journal documenting the design process, and give a 5-minute verbal presentation. The design will be evaluated based on its generated narrative and translation into spaces, application of design elements and principles, and demonstration of the design process through sketches,
This document appears to be an assignment submission for a course on art, architecture, and culture.
