Urban Design, Architecture and Planning

Assalammualaikum all
so entry kali ni, isinya ilmiah.

im going to tell you about what we learned in studio 01 which is Urban Design.
sebelum nak faham apa itu urban design kena faham dulu apa itu architecture sedalam dalamnya. dan kena jugak faham apa itu regional or town planning. because this wil go quite detail. like a advance lecture for introduction to urban design. lol. jk
but still its detail.

ok i assume you all already know what architecture is all about. to make it simple, architecture is vast, but specifically about building and the human interaction. its both technical and aesthetic.
Planning (town/rural/regional planning) is also mainly architecture, but in bigger scale. Design large scale, mosty the zoning, also mostly technical. Planning , like architecture is build everything from scratch. Urban Design on the other hand, enhancing things that are already there. mostly by injecting programme to the existing urban context (usually its the city/town), to eradicate the current problem and make it viable til the future according to the planned projection.

Urban Design is like a bit both combination of architecture and planning  There are no accurate definitve statement to urban design, just like architecture. its vast. but unlike architecture nor planning, its not too technical. Urban design is the process of shaping the physical setting for life in cities, towns and villages. It is the art of making places. It involves the design  of buildings, groups of buildings, spaces and landscapes, and establishing the processes that make successful development possible. The basic fundamental for Urban Design to to think. its more like a philosophy. We design according to the  issue & potentials, theories. by that, producing design strategy, typology, morphology and the the actual design. The things that we touch on urban design mainly its about how to create a vibrant city.
For example a city is not lively enough, so what is the issue there, the problems that make the city unlively? maybe its because there are no public ammenities. so that is the issue that we should tackle. and we identify the potential and make do what's there, utilising it to our favour and develop it. for example there are pedestrian walkway that link a lot of place but the people did not use it. so we can enhance it so people will use it, to promote walkability and more lively and vibrant city life. so the strategy is we make a public park, for the people can have grrem open space for view, a leisure, etc. we can enhance, beautify, and create more pedestrian walkway so people will use it. Those two complement each other and will pursue the same goal of creating a vibrant city.

that is only one example. Its very hard for us architecture based to grab the concept of Urban Design. To tune our head and to think like Urban Designer, rather that architecture. The architecture scenic view that we from the architecture student however, have certain similarities. mostly design ideas & design elements. For instance, to inject a programme to a certain area, for example, park we need the necessary design elements such as more seatings, landscape elements of hardscape and softscape, boulevard or plaza, installation, etc. The flow of people, the views, path, quality of space etc.

in terms of education, The analysis of the urban design is a bit like architectural but now it evolves to infographic. you know how nowadays infographic is a thang yea. I think the most technical you can get about urban design is the financial part. not really about the technical & realism of it, but basic consideration of the ROI(reutnr of investment) example who the developer, who will fund the porject & development, and what kind of benefit that entity will get, how long and how much will take to collect to get tback the initial capital, based on the projection that we set up. As long as its viable and have a little study based on fact and figures. sometimes it is fabricated. of course, nama pun tgh study kan.
Speaking about the final product, . And the the urban design final product mostly collages of pictures to form design. because basicly you did not design building, or facade, or the space inside, only the general idea of those things. so you just match any photo and edit it to suite the context and collage everything, put all the people,s cars, shadows and everything like architectural perspective..

permulaan cuti sem

Assalammualaikum
haluu semuaaa
saje nak bagitahu, aku da sampai umah
home sweet home
lepas hantar assigment isnin lepas mmg best. syok je. siap pun dkt kul 5 lebih. hntr kul 5.. mmg tak la nak balik haritu. so aku follow plan B, balik esoknya. tak la sampai malam. da la hujan.. dlm seminggu ni mmg hujan je kejenye. dgr kata kt tempat lain pun senitasa hujan. jadi molek la aku tak balik haritu. lepas hntr je assgmen ptg tu, baru la dpt g mkn. aku xmkn lagi sjak bfast pagi tadi tu.
lol im like that. selagi tak siap, selagi tu tak fikir benda lain, especially bila nk submit/print on that day. you know how i really love food, my priority is to eat. tapi sbb keja, it the other way. eating is the least important thing. masa makan tu pkul 6 hujan lebat gila. mkn kt mamak. ;lapo nasik la katana. mana nak cari nasi lauk lewat petang mcmtu. malam tu aku rehat la. letih kot ngntuk. kemas2 sikit barang2, tapi terlelap. pagi tu bangun sambung lagi kemas2 barang dan cuci workstation aku kt bwh kt ruang tamu. bilik dah kemas dgn roomate sebelum dia balik haritu. workstation tu je belum kemas. sbb pc dah cabut tanggal semua senang la nak cuti meja tu dengan bawah dia.

siap punya siap tengahari jugak aku balik. kul 12 baru gerak. sepanjang jalan hujan. ada certain2 tempat jamm teruk gila. tapi takde ape pun. hampeh. siot je.. penat kot drive sorang2. da la xleh speeding laju sikit sbb hujan. so ak sampai umah dlm kul 6 gak la.

cuti ni banyak pulak benda aku nak buat. serius banyak gila. cuti sekejap je sebulan tapi berlambak benda aku nk kena setelkan, rasanya macam cuti ni tak cukup je?. eh aku ni mana pernah cukup cuti bagi la 4-5 bulan pun, xpernah puas. lol
antara benda yg aku nak baut ialah update blog ni, psl bnyk benda dlm kepala aku nk luahkan dan nak share. cth psl belajar ni, psal architecture, psl master.. (aku ada janji ke ngan korang nk share hasil kerja aku dulu2 masa part 1 bsc degree tu? lol. ni nak share gak ke master 01 punya kerja? aku pnya kerja ni biasa je, bukan power pun. cukup2 nak lepas je. nak tunjuk pun segan), lepas tu nak cuci gambar masa kawin kak aku dulu yg xsempat nk buat, nak cuci gambar  travel yg sebelum masuk sem haritu( aku ada janji kan kt korg nak cita tu kt blog kan? takpe yg tu aku igt, nantikan ye), nak buat research sikit pasal isu2 yang bakal aku buat utk proposal design thesis sem 3 nanti (lambat lagi tapi better start early, ni dari advice kawan aku sendiri),  nak baca pasal benda2 ilmiah yg boleh tambah ilmu pengetahuan dan kematangan fikiran,(yg ni lecturer aku masa master baru2 ni yg sedarkan aku betapa pentingnya banyak membaca terutama bab2 falsafah, penting tu, kalau ada masa aku buat la entry dlm blog ni nanti), ada nak buat design sikit, aku ada idea dan nak luahkan idea tu dlm bentuk plan dan form 3d (ni saja suka2 nak buat, tapi mmg niat lama dah), nak pegi ofis jap nak tgk progress kerja2 yg aku tinggal haritu apa jadi(boleh la aku belajar sikit2 sbb rugi la kan kalau tak tahu), dan even cuti ni pun aku akan follow family aku travel. ada la, nanti aku buat entry dalam blog ni. korg tggu je k. pegi kejap je, tgh bulan 2 ni, so in shaa Allah sempat aku tulis sebelum bukak sem bln mac ni. oh baru je dpt yg assgment yg aku buat kalut nak hantar haritu nk kena buat ammendment sikit. adoi... dengan ada assigment subjek yg lain yg dah siap lama dulu pun nak kena recompose utk compilation mcm buku. mati la nak... memang cuti tapi tak cuti la akuuu..... macam ni la master student archy. sentiasa sibuk. cuti pun sibuk.

ok la kengkawan aku stop dulu. banyak kerja nak buat. letih haritu pun tak hilang lagi. nak rehat lagi, buat kerja lagi. hahahaa
cheers!~

Dah habis satu sem

Assalamualaikum all
how ya doin?
sorry for not updating for quite some time
ive been very busy. like hell. nama pun hujung sem. dengan design, assgnment subject, final exam etc.
whew. glad it was over.
well, not quite, because there are still assignment that need to be submitted tomorrow. but oh well, as long as final exam and review was over.

Im telling you Part 2 master ni mmg gila. its like it was back in final sem bsc, but much worse. very hectic. i finally managed to do it. hopefully everything went well and pass all subject. i didnt ask much, bukan nak score, but just to pass, tu pun dah good enough. its not that im lazy, complacent, but its really hard. i could barely survive. and its tougher when you are classrep, you need to not jsut think about yourself but 30++ other people of the studio. lol.

thats me with my final presentation for advance design 1 for the first semester studio subject. Urban Design. Its been quite a journey. something that i never felt before. ye lah, new place, new environment, new people.

Personally im quite satisfied with the end product. of course there's always a bit of 'i can do better than this if i have time' or 'i should do this and that instead of this' and 'theres a few things missing, i couldnt put it there'. but overall everything is just fine.

oh well enough story for now. ada assigment tak siap lag, but its past 12 already. esok nak kena hantar 2 assgnment yg xmula pun lagi. igt nak balik esok lepas asar. tp tgk la kalau assgnment boleh siap awal. kalau tak siap awal, dgn barang pun xkemas lagi, guane nak balik. malas nak balik lewat sgt nnt sampai malam. kalau sempat siap semua pun tapi letih payah gak. nk drive sorg ni 4 jam lebih..
jauh tu lama. so rasanya aku akan balik lusa la.....
till next time ye kawan2.
cheers
