Building Science 2

Project 1:

In the first project of Building Science 2, we are required to choose a building around us and conduct a report about an analysis and research of its acoustic and lighting performance. Throughout the project, we are required to analyse critically about the building's lighting and acoustic factor.

Chosen building - Lantern Hotel, Petaling Street

Reflection

In this project, I had a better understanding about how lighting and acoustic works in a building and i believe that this will benefit me a lot when I am this career. A good acoustic and lighting consideration in a building makes the building perform better and more functional towards its usage. More than that, I've learnt in how to record, tabulate and analyse the acoustic and lighting quality in the building.

Project Two:

The project two of the module requires us to integrate the understanding of principles lighting and acoustic design into our Design Studio project. The final project for mine is different than others which is an elderly community center in PJS7, Bandar Sunway. 

We are required to produce an A2 presentation board for both Lighting and Acoustic integrated design. 

Reflection

I think that this project is extremely useful for us. In this project, I had the opportunity to integrate lighting and acoustic study into my design studio project which allows me to learn and integrate it immediately, which i think its a very strong way to learn and explore something. As my design is for elderly, acoustic and lighting design is very important to them due to their age and health, with this project, i am able to be more specific in designing a functional home for the elderly.
