Finishing means Visualising | Contextural Design
https://contextura1design.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/finishing-means-visualising
Sometime back while doing my practical training during the sabbatical leave, I noted this entry in my notebook dated 28/02/12. REQUIREMENTS (C&S; M&E) FIXING JOINTS (Structure; Dimensions) FINISHES (Visualisation; Aesthetics). How to make it look good. We need to take time to develop our work and we need to work fast enough, so that the processes that need developing is given its reasonable time, rather than rushed. Back and forth, we go from assembly to dis-assembly and back again. The problem has alway...

Site Visit | Contextural Design
https://contextura1design.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/site-visit
It was really great to visit the site and see the constructed site, its progress and to hear Zek teaching me again. This time its with my UM colleagues and the students from first year until fourth year (all represented). I drew up the bridges earlier. See post: https:/ contextura1design.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/bridges-finished/. The photo shows the bridge according to the contractor’s shop drawings but my drawings has not been approved yet.

Monthly Archives: May 2012. End of May 2012. May 31, 2012 – 9:07 pm. The end of May 2012 marks the end of my sabbatical leave (officially) though I shall continue with my forays in architectural design and practice and see how things will work out. This blog will specifically be about “design research” and I hope to somehow get other designers to be involved, by posting their work later on, either on another specific blog or using this one. A Lesson in Design. May 18, 2012 – 10:18 am.

After being educated to be an architect, with the full works, Part 1 and Part 2 (I actually did it in 8 years! And practising thereafter, you built the foundation to be an architect. Not necessarily the Part 3 variety, but as someone who has picked up the skills for life. Of course, now everything comes together, teaching, practising and research. More on this later, I hope. Life is a Design Thesis.

Monthly Archives: February 2012. February 24, 2012 – 3:48 pm. I observed that when we do detail design we need to have in mind a similar line of inquiry or protocol, what goes first before what. In the case of writing up, we need to have content, structure and format done in that order. Similarly for detail design, we need to know the content ( what do we need to have for the detail), structure (frame design of detail) and format (finishing the detail). Posted in Action Research. How quickly can we do it?

Monthly Archives: January 2012. January 26, 2012 – 5:39 pm. I am now at GDP office, just trying to be useful to Team 7 office. I am learning a lot. I can’t do CAD so I asked that I could join the contract implementation project and there were a few, so I tagged along the Utusan Melayu project team. The issues are fundamental and the integration of technical constraints ie services integration and the usability of space could be better explored. The will to know and get it done likewise is essential.

8220;Taking the best of this opportunity”, hence this is my attitude during my sabbatical. Alas, due to some policy change, I might not get my three months research leave extension. So, I may only have 1 1/2 months left. Just finished the majority of the drawings needed to issue to the contractors for shop drawings of the internal bridges. The office 3D whiz-kid came round my table, remarked nonchalantly “eh, drawing masa sekolah dulu! 8221; “Kindergarten? April 13, 2012 at 9:08 pm. Thingsare always chan...

Teaching Architecture | Contextural Design
https://contextura1design.wordpress.com/2012/12/28/teaching-architecture
I realised that it has come to a full circle. After being educated to be an architect, with the full works, Part 1 and Part 2 (I actually did it in 8 years! And practising thereafter, you built the foundation to be an architect. Not necessarily the Part 3 variety, but as someone who has picked up the skills for life. Depending on circumstances, desire and will, you could be an architect for life, even without practising much. What would help is the desire to continue with design. Enter your comment here.
