DESIGN STUDIO 4
Introduction
In this subject we are learning how to make a good design by considering of our clients, sustainable design, site condition and more. In this semester i have learnt so much about elderly when we start it with designing a furniture and elderly centre for our client (elderly) . We have to analyse and understand when the elderly go to care centre, which we need to know their activity their though and behaviour.
Project 1 : FURNITURE FOR AN ELDERLY
In this project we need form a group of two and required to design a furniture for elderly. The objective of this project is to develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design and to develop the student’s ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as make poetry with the buildings.By doing this project we need to go visit elderly centre first and understand how an elderly in care centre by choose an elderly as our client. Instead of good design we also need to conider the elderly need and also have to consider how to promote our client to become more active. To come out with this design, we had consider the client needs such as like reading and stay at her bed most of the time. So we had made a bed with multi-funtion for her, which make her can reading at night time.

Project 2: CENTER FOR THE ELDERLY
This individual project is the final project for design an elderly center in PJS 7 where the site is in a suburban area with some complexity of site topography and vegetation and socio-cultural events. This project is continuation of project 1 as project 1 were design for 1 client and this final project we were require to design for 20 person. The objectives of this project are to develop awareness of environmental sustainability in architectural design.To develop the student’s ability to meet the imperative and inter-related environmental and social needs, as well as make poetry with the buildings and last but not least to emphasize on space planning of clusters of buildings. Also we need to consider their need, their activity and their schedual. From this project I have learnt to understand more about elderly and to design a elderly center by using the elderly point of view, which make me think what I need if I'm them.
Moreover, by design an elderly center I also had contribute the site and try to reach thermal comfort by using some venarcular architecture element and some design element from my precedent study. Through this project I'm able to plan the entrance and route based on the design and site context. Also it make me able to carry out the poetic space to elderly centre
