Its been a wonderful experience working with such a big group (consists 16people) in Alor Setar. It is also a great opportunity to learn from each other, especially we have junior and senior in a group. We share out thoughts and ideas, and of course we have very positive discussion so far. Works are being distributed into small groups such as interior team & exterior team, report and modelling team. Looking forward to the final outcomes.

Great experience working together with a big team consist of 16 members. I was assigned to measure the north facade and staircase of the museum. The difficult part of this task is the repeat details along the facade have different dimension each. So, it takes us longer time to measure in order to get accurate result. The good thing is we managed to finish the task on time with the cooperation of all members in the team.

Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience for me to carry out field work at somewhere I thought I would never visit to. We were lucky enough to be assigned to a building which is still in fairly good and safe condition. Throughout the field trip I have learnt on ways to conduct measurements accurately and the importance of conserving historical building.

As a person who enjoys traveling to new places and learning about different cultures, I appreciate the opportunity to go to Alor Setar to study the local architecture of Kedah, specifically the Old Museum building.

Although we were hoping to be able to study and measure our original assignment, Balai Besar, the old museum building was a fine replacement albeit without the grandeur of Balai Besar.

Being part of the research and photography team, it was indeed a pleasure to learn about the intricate history of the museum, through books and interviews that we conducted. The staffers at the museum were friendly and accommodating, and that helped make our research a lot easier than expected.

p/s: We do like adventures and surprises, but not too much please :)

As an international student, i'm very glad to be able to visit Kedah, the northwestern region of Malaysia. To know diffrent cultures and architecture styles in Alor Setar which is totally diffrent from the Selangor area. My task was to measure south exterior elevation together with my groupmate, Bolin. It wasn't that easy because the measurements kept on running off so we had to remeasure it several times. But we managed to get everything done before the last day. It was a fun experience working with my groupmates to measure such historical building, Muzium Negri Kedah.

This project has thought me how important to preserve our historical buildings that have become the iconic symbol of a particular place. With the assigned building which is an old museum in Kedah, I know the importance of the building towards Kedah society in the past through the function that it had before. In our group we were divided into smaller sub group to ease the process of getting all the information that we need which include the measurements, general history info and the content for video. As everyone had their own task to be complete, all of the information were obtained efficiently.

it was an interesting experience for me. my task was to take pictures of different elements of the building for the photobook. it was rather challenging as every corner of the building looked pretty much the same and there wasn't much that stood out tbh. however as i learned to see the details of the building that i wouldnt have noticed at first glance, i began to appreciate it.

As a Kedahrian, I never truly got a chance to visit this hidden gem that had marked a incredible history of the past century. My task on this Architecture Investigate was to measure the interior part of the building with my other five group mates. Through out the whole week, we had manage to finish our job easily with our great team bond, it was my pleasure to work with them. With this field trip, I had understood the important of conserving the historical buildings is not just documentary out the building but also how to maintain it in order to preserve the historical architecture.

At the very first glance of the building, i could conclude that the building is in perfect symmetry and consists of multiple repetitions of design elements. However, after observing in detail, each individual column, door, window and staircase step are unique due to their cracks and fractures in their defective state. Therefore, i think it was important and meaningful for us to document and preserve every interesting historical values of this building.

From the interviewed, we managed to get more info on the history and architecture of the Old Museum Kedah which started way back from Balai Besar (which supposed to be our original building). This info really helped us to understand more about the building.
