1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Module Objective
This module is aimed at introducing students to the requirements, activities and
operations involved in working in architectural / construction practices. The purpose
is to facilitate the involvement of students in professional attachments to architectural
practices in order to develop an understanding of the general nature, principles and
procedure of law and legislation as applied to architectural drawings, especially the
Building by-laws. Students will also be exposed to the process of authority
submission for various drawings from an architectural practice and the range of
contract documentation produced to support these drawings.Via a full-time internship
attachment, students will further appreciate the documentation and report-writing
skills required of an employee (architectural assistant / architect) in a typical
architect’s firm.

This is a project by Sunsuria City Sdn Bhd consisting of 3 Parcels which are using
a French themed design as their concept. The clubhouse is in Parcel 3 of the project
and one of the main selling features which are provided to cater the residents.

Design Process:
Using the existing 3DS Max model file, I am given the task to modify the facade to
the client’s comment which is to explore a different approach to a French concept.
Original Proposed design:
Front Perspective
Rear perspective

I was to redesign and explore another option using Rhino for the client:
3D model- Front Facade
3D model- Rear Facade

Proposal Submission
3D render- Front Facade
3D render- Rear Facade
Client comment:
However, due to the extra cost needed for this design, the client rejected this design
and proposed simpler changes from the original design.

AutoCAD (red showing new design)
Model making (red showing new design)

Final Submission
3D render- Front Facade
3D render- Rear Facade
This submission was approved by the client and is the current final design for this
project.

Learning outcome:
After the completion of my first design task given to me by Ar Eric, I have managed
to learn more about the importance of costing, materials, color and details of
designing a building. I have also polished my rendering skills in a short time to

model done by one of the Assistant Architect Yi Min. This model was also a
reference for the client to make the 3D model for an exhibition to raise funds for the
development.

This project, which is in proposal stage is a joint design project with a Korean
Architect (name not specified due to company privacy). The Korean Architect has
done and emailed to us a 3D sketchup model of the French style village area but no

check whether the plan is according to UBBL and Bomba requirements in Malaysia
and reproduce drawings according to Malaysian Requirements.

requirements of 20% rumah Selangor by the Selangor Authority. The plot of
development is now 5 acres each and Ar Heng has given me the full responsibility of
coming up with the options of plan after briefing me the authority setbacks and
requirements. In this project, budget and design are the most important aspect as
this is an affordable range product and also requires aesthetically pleasing design
that attracts buyers.
Process:
With this plot of land, I am assigned to layout options of condominium and
townhouse layouts and separate them into 2 projects.

Final Submission:

Recorded Data

4.0 Conclusion
All in all, I am grateful to have learned and experience the real world out there as
an assistant architect. I have learned how to produce designs in a short amount of
time and also to amend and color submission drawings and learn of UBBL
requirements and authority requirements. Besides that, budget plays a huge role in
designing as an architect in the real world because all developers want to make the
most out of their money to attract buyers. However, the design should not be
compromised to the budget and should stand out as a functional, sculptural, and
most importantly suited for the people.
