Lee Yet Yee is taking the Foundation in Natural and Built Environment (FNBE) course at Taylor's Lakeside University. The Introduction to Design module is exposing her to the design process and helping her improve her critical thinking and creativity skills. She is learning about design principles, elements, and materials, which will allow her to create more appropriate and interesting designs. The module is providing training for harder design projects during her degree program. She is documenting all the processes and outcomes of each project in her portfolio.

Taylor’s Lakeside Univeristy
2009-2013:
Secondary school at SMJK Chan Wa
“Good designs are a lot like clear thinking made visual with
absolute precision, simplicity, functionality which will come
together as one.”
MY Interest
“I enjoy creating my own artworks and designs where I imply
them in almost everything I do like drawing or even in
culinary arts. I couldn’t resist in implementing my own twist
and designs in every single thing I come across”
Inspiration
“Just a spark will do the trick when I go across a word, a picture, a gesture
or even an emotion. Other than that, endless RESEARCHES !!!!!!”
Achievements
“Merely being able to survive FNBE makes me proud of myself, besides, I
was shortlisted in the Dean List for my Semester 1’s result. I’m also proud
that I’m a far more matured person now .”

3. PROJECT 1A THE 1O ART WORK
CHRISTINELEEYETYEE.FNBEJAN2015
This project is mainly to expose us to the basic design elements
through perceiving nature and the built environment by sketching
them. It trains us to imply basic design principles through the
sketches and abstract artworks.
THE PROCESS:
The ones that got rejected
and needs a re-do due to the wrong
drawing method used.
THE FINAL BOARDS:
Satisfied when looking at my own
work as I have put in ten-fold
efforts in each of them.

PROJECT 1B DAILY ITEMS
The task is to produce nine simple abstract art works with an
extra 10th artwork when view as a whole using the given daily
materials to show understanding of design principles, elements
and composition.

PROJECT 2A 2D to 3D exploration
The task is to understand the meaning & action of the word given
with an architect for inspiration to transform words into 2D
drawings then finally to 3D models to express the word given.
THE PROCESS:
making the 3D models in x-space
during our first tutorial session

14. INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN
FOUNDATION IN NATURAL AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT (FNBE)

INTAKE
to me, introduction to design is a process where i am exposed to the
design process of any artwork or even projects which will definitely
come in handy when handling new project briefs upon entering
degree. It also provides a platform to ameliorate my critical thinking
as well as creativity without the absent of functionality.It is a
lifetime process that I will have to go through every single time I am
dealing with any architectural projects.
This subject also act as a quintessential indoctrination for me to
comprehend the constituent of a design which are the design
principles, elements, transformation and materials. This allows me to
be able to come out with design that are more appropriate and more
interesting after implying those design components. Therefore, this
subject is a training ground for us to be well-prepared for harder
design projects during degree.
recorded and documented in my portfolio are all the process and
final outcome of each project that i have went through in this
module. each part of the progress are extremely important as it is
crucial to go through the design process to achieve the best
outcome at the end. Thus, there is no shortcut in producing an
excellent design.
