PROJECT 2: NATURAL & MAN-MADE STRUCTURE

The Second project issued, we need to find out the natural and man made structure on this earth to enhance our understanding of  basic elements and principles of design through observation of existing natural and man-made structures, creativity in presenting ideas selectively and graphically, nourishing our skills in creative thinking, observation, sketching, rendering, colouring, writing description and composing graphical images.

 

 

Is That look alike? Huh? ^ . ^

The Sketching showed a cat is lying on a tree. The cat was found in the corridor of the Desasiswa Restu. It got my attraction to follow it and take some photos on it. The cat was then running to the exterior of Desasiswa Restu and I keep following it. There was an idea in my mind, natural structure can be an animal and a plant, so why I don't take a photo of the cat with the tree? Therefore, I manage to let the cat lying on a tree and take a photo on it. Finally, an awesome photo emerged.

The reason I choose a cat and a tree for sketching due to the pattern on the surface of the tree is Significant for sketching because its shows the great pattern for an example of natural structure.Other than that, the cat is a small, usually furry, domesticated, and carnivorous mammal. Cats are strong, having flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey.Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency, they can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans.Those characteristic on a cat shows it is natural structure which is born by god.

 

Project 2B shows the front part of the Perpustakaan Hamzah Sendut 1. I choose this for my man-made structure project due to A library are considered as an important element of the activities of the institution. The Hamzah Sendut Library is just like a 5 STAR grade hotel because of its great design and perfection.

The exterior library design of the wing set asides a few plots for garden area surrounding the building to beautify and increase greenish view to the new landscape thus incorporated USM landscape theme as ‘Taman Ilmu’. we called for design, the first thing that come into mind is the flexibility, that need to be incorporated into the design to allow for later changes and different requirements in the future.

In addition, for its function, the library have grand entrance door to the building adjacent to car parking/ visitor drop off and pick up area in front of the stair to provide shelter from the weather such as rain or sunlight thus make it more eco-friendly .

There is no doubt that the Universiti Sains Malaysia has succeeded in putting up a highly aesthetically pleasing and functional library building, capable of serving its needs for the next two decades or more.
