Asian Architecture Final Case Study ReportKelvin Ng
This document is a case study on the Glass Shed building at Sekeping Serendah Retreat in Malaysia. It discusses how the building achieves thermal comfort through passive ventilation design. Specifically, it examines the building's orientation, massing, fenestration, use of local materials like timber and bricks, and how it incorporates designs from traditional Malay houses. The Glass Shed is elevated above the ground for ventilation, uses louvre windows and casement windows for airflow control, and its orientation allows for cross ventilation from the prevailing winds. Through these passive design strategies as well as its interpretation of vernacular architecture, the Glass Shed is able to provide thermal comfort while reducing energy usage.
The relationship of ventilation and thermal comfortKelvin Ng
The document discusses the design approach of the Glass Shed in Sekeping Serendah to achieve thermal comfort through natural air ventilation. It explores how passive design and elements from vernacular Malay house designs, like cross ventilation and stack effect, promote air flow. Modern materials like steel, concrete and glass are used alongside traditional brick and timber to enhance ventilation while maintaining a cool interior temperature. The orientation and various window types of the Glass Shed allow ventilation to work effectively.
1) The student proposes researching how the glass shed building in Sekeping Serendah maximizes natural ventilation through its design. Specifically, the student will examine how the building's openness concept, orientation, leveling, and use of local materials affect air flow.
2) The glass shed was designed without air conditioning, so natural ventilation is key. Its open layout and orientation in different densities of vegetation maximize air flow.
3) The building is leveled in response to the terrain to allow wind to pass through with fewer obstacles, maintaining speed. Local materials like timber are used, reflecting traditional Malay house designs that enhance ventilation in hot, humid climates.

Building Structure Project 2 Group ReportKelvin Ng
This document summarizes a project analyzing the structural design of extending an existing reinforced concrete bungalow in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. The project team studied architectural plans of the bungalow, which has a pond as its central design feature, and produced structural plans showing the column, beam and slab layout. They created foundation, floor, roof, and 3D structural layout plans at scales of 1:150 to 1:200. Load distribution diagrams were made for the ground floor, first floor and roof beams. Through this project, the team learned about structural design processes, exploring different structural member placements and understanding load transfer through a building from top to bottom.

The document discusses different designs for distributors to distribute load on a bridge. Design 1 added two distributors between vertical surfaces to distribute the load. Design 2 rotated the angle of the distributor horizontally to enhance load distribution. Design 3 combined horizontal and vertical distributors by overlapping them. Design 4 reduced weight by reducing fettuccine while adding more strips. Design 5 proposes adding more beams to discharge the load across more beams to increase efficiency.
Lembah Bujang was an important historical site in Malaysia from the 3rd to 12th centuries AD that served as an entrepôt for iron smelting, trading, and the propagation of Hinduism and Buddhism. It was influenced by Hindu culture as seen in early Malay literature, vocabulary, and religious concepts adapted from Sanskrit. The Lembah Bujang Museum was built at the site on Bukit Batu Pahat to carry out archaeological research and exhibit pre-Islamic artifacts, serving as evidence of Southeast Asia's earliest trade center. However, the site analysis found issues with its circulation, views, and average low visitor numbers.

Low Jia Cheng Relationship between both cubeKelvin Ng
The document discusses two cube designs - a paper cube made of triangles and a wood cube made of cubes. Both cubes form spaces inside but are weakly supported. The designs were engineered to provide support, creating a strong, sustainable structure. A paper cube was designed to fit perfectly inside a wood cube box, combining the designs and forming another connected space.
The document describes a wood cube made of balsa wood. Balsa wood is soft, easily breaks, and is not flexible. However, by designing a cubic construction with the balsa wood arranged in different directions and angles, it provides strong support between the pieces of wood. This strengthens the weak wood and gives the new design characteristics of being fixed in shape, strong, and lighter than other woods. The soft, not flexible characteristics of the individual pieces of wood are overcome by supporting each other in the cubic construction.
