Today is the first day of class, tbh I was surprised by the number of ppl in the class. I was like ‘wow’ there’re lots of unfamiliar faces as most of them are seniors and I got super nervous especially when lecturers want us to introduce ourselves. I had a bad case of butterflies in my stomach for that ‘self
introduction thing’ cuz I’m not even that familiar with those who are from my batch. It’s because since I started my diploma it’s fully online class for me as I can’t make it to the campus. So for the grouping of
Furniture Workshop, I’ve joined a group which mostly consist of friends from my batch. Besides, I’ve joined Design Team for our urban farming project. I’m quite excited to join as I’m more interested in this department. I hope to learn from those seniors as well as my friends. And ya here’s the first day for my year 2 sem 1.

So for the first task of our design team is to decide about the colour scheme and theme name. Everyone of us shared some colour palette that we think will relate to our project in the group for further discussion. Besides, we’re in charge of the fortnight report template design, our team leader, Wan Jing need two volunteers who good in slide composition to help her out. I think I’m capable of doing that so I volunteer for that and three of us stayed up late to design the fortnight template.

# data[].attributes.body
After suggesting the colour scheme and theme name, we start on designing the logo. Each of us need to come out at least one logo and propose it on Friday meeting. Before the theme name ‘RE-Gēn’ was suggested , growth is the one so  sprouting first came to my mind. I got an idea to start my logo from the first letter G, but after that Wan Jing told us that there will be some changes to the name. After the name was finalised, I came out with another design which is the one in this pic. This logo is actually derive from the Chinese word ‘根’ which means roots.

# data[].attributes.body
After the meeting, our group members gave some suggestions to my logo, is that they think it will be better if it’s applied with colour. Apart from that, I’ve joined the event poster team. Qai, Afnaan and I will be in charge of poster design. Wan Jing has shared some poster style to us as a reference for us.

# data[].attributes.body
After some amendments, this is my final logo design. For this logo, I got the idea from the word ‘根’ which means roots in chinese. This logo is a combination of the seedling, the initials of the name as well as the Chinese name ‘根’ .If you noticed, there’re two hidden alphabet R and G in the logo, initials of our theme name. I differentiate them by applying a darker shade of green. The whole logo is actually a seedling and there’re 6 secondary roots at the root part. These six roots are to represent the six team of our comm arch. All of us, from different team work together for this urban farming project just like each of the roots absorb water and nutrients to help the growth of a plant.

Since I’m in event poster team. This week we need to come out w the first event poster dy. At first, three of us, who in charge of poster planned to work together. It’s like every one of us design our own poster for same event then we’ll choose the more suitable one. But then I think that’s doesn’t rlly that ‘effective’ hahaha so Wan Jing came out w a solution that each of us in charge of each poster will be better. So, I was informed to design for the first event poster.

# data[].attributes.body
2day is my sister‘s 22nd bday! We had a small celebration. Issa tiring but fun day cuz I did ‘contribute’ a lot for her bday posts by being her personal ‘great’ photographer lols. Before that, we went for joyride (lol not rlly) to ‘collect’ all her presents n cakesssssss from her frensssss. After we went home n took the pics, it’s actually quite late dy, I was exhausted, ended up slept earlier n din managed to finish my poster design.

# data[].attributes.body
Done for poster design! 🥳 The posters that we’ve done b4 need to redo cuz there was an announcement on yesterday, it’s bout the amendments of our colour scheme, logo n all that. Ended up using these three colours for our theme, so ya this is my poster design, it’s not that perfect but i kinda like this design. After that, I ask for Qiao Ting’s cmt for my poster, she gave me some constructive feedbacks. I rlly appreciate her effort in doing everything, she even came out w some slides in her composition for the poster.

# data[].attributes.body
After receiving the feedbacks, I did some amendments from the previous one n this is the new one. But after that I was informed that there is no need to design the portrait one🥲 need to focus on the horizontal poster.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s presentation day! First of all, I’d like to thank Huey Wen for her great presentation. But tbh after we watching group 1’s amazing presentation, our confidence level was like 📉 , they did a rlly good job on their presentation. I was impressed by their vid😍! Back to our group, we received lots of feedbacks from the panels n they suggested us that we can consider on doing something that the whole form can be transformed.

# data[].attributes.body
Meeting day! Since we received that ‘make it like Transformer thing’ challenge n we actually think that the other one proposal we’ve came out before is more suitable for the theme. Actually we quite lost bout the ‘Transformer’ idea, had no idea how to construct it so y not we combine? We decided to use our previous proposal but for the cubes we make it flexible. Thanks for Crystal has updated me on the meeting cuz I left the meeting earlier as another meeting was waiting for me.

# data[].attributes.body
After the comm arch meeting at 830, I had another meeting w group 3 members to discuss bout our modular cube. We decided on the joinery part and our leader suggested that each of us can try to come out w our own design.

# data[].attributes.body

After I done, I informed her bout that but they actually decided on using the one that my leader did so ya….. My bad I din check my msg, they told me bout that but I just saw it…….🥲🥲🥲☹️

After the tutorial, some of us had another meeting to discuss on how to do the amendments based on what ms has commented. We planned to make the gabion seating area, and some of the cubes change to gabion wall concept also. After the discussion and suggestion from some of us, we distributed the task.

Our final poster. Hmmm actually I’m not that satisfied w/ this one but I just ran out of idea so ya🥲🥲 at least I tried my best

# data[].attributes.body
For this final event poster, few days ago we actually decided to go for a pixelated kinda style. Since the gather town’s event will be like four season setting so we planned to flw the theme. I’ve composed that in the pixelated style but after the committee meeting, there’s some amendments as this idea was similar to AIS. After that, Wan Jing ask me for some ideas so I suggested her why not we still go for four season theme design but not in pixelated style so ya here it is.

Last task for furniture workshop!🥳

# data[].attributes.body
Last day of class for Community Architecture 2021. So freakin fast 🤯, how time flies……feel like I wrote that ‘tdy is my first day of class’ just a moment ago but it’s been seven weeks! At first, I was rlly nervous as there’re lots of seniors and I’m not even get to know people from my batch that well yet. But soon I’ve got to know some of the seniors ( Wan Yi, Kah Gin, Qiao Ting) by chance as we had a meeting to discuss about our work. I remembered it was a Thursday night hahaha cuz I was rlly happy to know them although I was quiet all the time. From the first week, there’re alrdy tasksss that waiting for every each of us hahaha but it still can be handled. But for the weeks after that, tbh those tasks drive me crazy n I believe it’s not only for me, it’s the whole team, every department….. I really wanna thanks to Wan Jing, my team leader who always guided us to make sure everything is on track. I believe she’s a lot more stress in this whole sem as she always need to check on our work and! Always helps us to amend on the things. Huey Wen and her always stayed up late for those ‘non-stop meetingssss’ to make sure everything is organised and on track. And also, the person who always assisted each of the team, Qiao Ting, our president, she always give us those comments and even help us w/ the amendments. A big thanks to them.🤍✨ Apart from that, I’m in Group 3 for the modular cube project, most of us are from the same batch. I’m so glad to join the group and work with them but tbh I think the tasks haven’t distributed well. Only some particular members in charge of almost everything. I think the prob for our group is lack of communication. Many of us r too shy to give their opinions. And due to only some particular members rlly involved in doing things and actually we’re all quite busy w/ other subjects too, this lead to a lots of amendments of our design. As only few of the members rush for it. After that, our leader was sick and the whole team progress wasn’t on track so Ming Fong and Lucas help to lead the group. After that, every each of us baru get involved into it. Although there’re ups and downs throughout this teamwork, but overall it was a good experience to work w/ them. Thank you all my group members!🥰 Last but not least, I would like to thank my friend🥰, CKWK😬, Crystal who always helps me out a lot whenever I need help. Overall it was a fun and fruitful experience for me to involved in this community architecture, I’ve learned about the soft skills, communication is the key👊🏼. And also get to know seniors and be more familiar w/ some of the friends.
