BDI and SHR

Salam Sem06,

BDI is here! This is the most creative phase of the project.

For this phase, PLEASE study and analize the data that you have collected. Based on them, divide your firm into 2 sub-firms and each sub-firm is to propose a design. Presentation Requirements are to be presented on 2 (two) A1 boards as follows:

First A1 Board:
- A short summary of your site analysis
- Name your Hotel and design a logo
- Propose a boutique Hotel concept
- Early Schematics (Site Plan (1 plan), Plans (2 plans), Elevations(2) and Sections(2))

Second A1 Board:
- Artist Impression (2 interior and 2 exterior perspectives). Click here to see samples.

Each sub-firm will compete with each other by presenting their ideas to the clients (Tutors and SDP). The Best Design Idea will be the chosen concept to be implemented by your firm later. Let the ideas flow!

Best of Luck ......

.... and of course from all of us at DesignersPUO-Architecture, Selamat Hari Raya (SHR) or Happy Eid Mubarak to all of you!

THE MORNING SHOW: Speaker's Corner

Assalam sem 6,

Last friday (19th August) was the 1st performance by Dream Studio for our Speaker's Corner session. it was quite entertaining with morning tazkirah and a nice poetic song (indonesian song i believe..).

As mentioned earlier, speaker's corner is a platform for students to express themselves positively and hopefuly it will be a good culture in the future.it is also a 'break' session for students... as works are piling up and more assignments to be done,there should be a method to release the preassure a bit...

in the speaker's corner students can sing, recite poems,perform a scene or just babbling away on whatever install in the heart and mind...as long as its good and entertaining with a nice massage behind the performance. so,no headbanging concerts allowed ok...

so we can't wait for the next performances starting this wednesday by Sevarch,FH,Kongsi Design Group,Wyra,Buloh,Kracasa,Fanz,Think Green,Limitless,MDA and lastly Creads.

Enjoy preparing for the performance...

SDP'S General comments

Dear all,

As per our previous site analysis crit session held with SDP,(10th Aug) these are among
general comments given by them.

1. Lack of data collection- to get thorough findings. (Revisited have been conducted)
2. Always cross check with authority's requirement, and try to fulflill their needs.
3. Do consume and apply technical and architectural terms in your presentation.
4. To later on recounter on your space requirement in order to get you 'Boutique' done.
5. Finally...if you are confused with the term boutique...stick to this principle.
"Function maintains as a 'hotel'...Character maintains as 'boutique'.

Last but not least...be well prepared for the upcoming site analysis presentation with SDP.

Bonne Chance....(good luck!!)

Regards,

Raya Shoes!

Salam everyone,

This year's Hari Raya Shoes!

Boutique Hotel - The Brief

Salam Sem06,

Here is the Brief:

The lodging industry since the beginning of the 21th century had focused on brand selling hotel names such as Holiday Inn, Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton Hotels etc to cater to travelers who prefer the traditional concept of a hotel, i.e. : a lodging accommodation for travelers.

Since then a new breed of travelers have evolved in which accommodation is no longer their only concern, these travelers want to be ‘surprised’. When planning their trips, these travelers seek hotels that are somewhat different in character (look and feel) from branded hotels. These B-hotel seekers consider themselves to be highly fashionable and hip.

You and your FIRM are required to fulfill the following requirements;

• To carry out and effectively present appropriate research on Boutique Hotels - Under the guidance of your tutor, you and your FIRM are required to carry out and effectively present all related research information required to complete this project.

• To carry out site analysis of selected site and effectively present findings - Under the guidance of your tutor, you and your FIRM are required to carry out the required analysis of the chosen site. Presentation of these findings must be effectively delivered.

• To prepare a topical report of a predetermined design area - Under the guidance of your tutor, you are required to complete a topical report of a chosen area of interest. This is an A4 size book type report that compiles your findings and its usage in your design.

• To effectively communicate the design to prospective ‘clients’ - Under the guidance of your tutor, you and your FIRM are communicate all your design ideas and suggestions via any appropriate media.
