Sketch Journal 08:

proposed location for toy's viewing tower.

(click image to enlarge)

I drew a few perspectives of where my toy will be located on the site my group chose.

My tower will be located on the stone wall in the middle of the site. On the stone wall, my toy will be able to look over the lake and also have a wide view around the area. Besides that, the stone wall is quite high compare to the deck besides the lake and hence, my toy will have better view from the top as well.

ideas of viewing tower for my toy character.

(click on image to enlarge)

My chosen character is Hijikata Toshiro from the anime, Gintama.

Based on his characteristics, I came out with an idea for his viewing tower::

These 3 ideas are the very first idea I came up with.

It was inspired by elements I found on the site.

Unfortunately, it was unrelated to my toy or my site.

Then, I tried designing his viewing tower based on his characteristics.

Again, it was rejected because all of my designs were too literal.

After that, I tried doing something different but it turns out to be still too literal and also unrelated to my toy.

Last, idea. I suddenly thought of doing something 'sharp' as it represents my character's cold exterior which made others to not dare to approach him. I tried sketching things that is related to 'sharp' and i chose SWORD.

Tutorial: Scale & Perspective

(click on image to enlarge)

We were taught how to use scale ruler by Ms. Norma.

She gave us a small paper which is the one below:

We were asked to rescale the above plans to a scale of 1:25.

After we had rescale everything, we need to also come up with the left view of the structure.

Below is the picture after rescaled::

Not only that, we learnt how to draw one-point perspective as well.

I did a simple one::

Trip: Taman Tasik Shah Alam

Group: Le Corbusier

For our project 1, we went to Shah Alam Lake Garden for site visit to do our site analysis. When we first arrived at the lake garden, without hesitation, we started strolling off to find a suitable site to build our viewing tower for our selecte

d toys.

A few steps from out drop-off point, we found a site that can be considered.

This is a picture of the first site we found. This site is located on a higher level compared to other parts of the ground. There are also trees all around the site. But after discussing for awhile, we decided to look around before deciding on our site. That's why we went on walking around the lake garden. Not long after that, we found another location which might be suitable for our site.

A view of the 2nd location. Trees all over the location as well as insects. It's on a higher ground surrounded by bushes. Unfortunately, the site is too big for us to get a 15m x 10m measurement. We couldn't include all the elements we wanted within that measurement. Therefore, we moved on to search for another site which is more suitable.

We walked further through the lake garden. Finally, we found another location.

This location is located right beside the lake. The ground of our site are covered with bricks, thus, there's not much soil or trees can be found there. After a small discussion, we decided to choose this location as our site. So, we started to do our site analysis. We measured, took pictures, researched and even interviewed a worker

of a restaurant near our site.
