3. CONCLUSION

1.0 Introduction T.R.Hamzah and Yeang Sdn Bhd have been one of the greatest architectural

firms in the industry, well known for their Ecoarchitecture and Ecomasterplanning with

their signature hyper green design that goes beyond rating system. I am fortunate and

grateful to be able to join one of the top firms in the field to carry out the internship

program as environmental sustainable eco-architecture has been my passion and

having the program in this firm is the greatest opportunity for me to learn from the best

in this field.

Other than my passion on environmental sustainable eco-architecture, my life-

long dream is to contribute to the skyline of a city, which also means being able to

design a Skyscraper of my own in my architectural career. And in this firm, they have

designed many well-known eco-skyscrapers, which are high-rise building that integrates

designed systems benignly and seamlessly with the natural environment and

aesthetically fulfilling. Therefore, I am determined to join this firm to carry out my

internship program as they have been achieving my passion and dreams with top of the

class professional standard and winning multiple awards, which allows me to

understand better on how a skyscraper is designed and built from the very start of

designing stage till the final construction stages, allowing me to be exposed to certain

knowledge on designing a skyscraper as well as incorporating green, energy saving

technologies and passive designing strategies into a building design, in summary

‘Saving the planet with Design’.

2.1 GBD Tower (Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpur) The GBD Tower is the first project that I was assigned to work on. The scope of

work that I was involved in are early stages of the project, such as schematic design

and CAD drawing amendments and photoshop for Development Order submission and

presentation as this project is currently only at the early stage .

For this project, most of the task that I was working on is sketching as I am

supposed to design internal layout plans for a few floors in this high rise building. This

has greatly improved my designing and sketching abilities as I was guided by the

professionals in the office and learn many considerations on spatial planning. Other

than working on schematic designs, I was also assigned to amend the floor plans of the

tower according to the comments made by the mechanical and electrical engineers

using AutoCad, which definitely allow me to understand more on the technical

requirements needed in a high rise building and understand different local authorities.

Lastly, I was also involved in floor plan renderings using Photoshop for the project

presentation, which is used to ease the understanding of clients and engineers about

the spatial zoning of plans in the building. Furthermore, I was also assigned to design

the ramps in car park floors of the building, which is a very challenging task for me as

many calculations are involved to achieve the sufficient gradient of the ramps with ratio

in the meantime making sure that sufficient head room is provided for the spaces below

the ramp. Through this project, I am able to fully understand the early architectural

stage of a building as I was fortunate to be able to involve in the Schematic design

stages of the given project.

Other than designing and CAD drawings, I have better understanding on passive

design strategies and Green Building Index (GBI) requirements as the GBD Tower is no

exception in terms of eco-architecture design that the firms is specialized in, such as the

build form orientation, voids and spatial planning for maximum natural ventilation,

vertical green plantations and so on. This has greatly improved my understanding on

green architecture, how it actually works and improves the comfort of the occupants in

the building.

2.2 Extended Care Rehab Center (Burma Road, Penang)

This project is my most committed project throughout the internship period in this

firm. This is a 20 storey rehabilitation centre based on Penang, and thanks to my

supervisor which is the design architect for this project, Park Jinkyu and also the project

architect Teen Woon, I have this great opportunity to be strongly involve in this project

over many aspect and stage as there is only 3 people in this project team which

includes me.

When I was assigned to be part of this project, I was given a list of mechanical

and electrical equipment and room sizes, and I should include all the mechanical and

electrical requirements into the floor plan of this building with a well thought spatial

organization for all the components in the list to work as well as ease the maintenance

for the engineers. It was really a tough task for me as I have just completed semester 4

in architectural studies, therefore I have never come across these technical issues such

as the mechanical and electrical requirements too much. But from this practice, I have

learnt how to calculate and design the room size and floor to ceiling height based on the

required volume of water tanks are needed by this building, which is a very handy

knowledge for me to apply on my further studies as well as future working period. After

all the mechanical and electrical requirements have been allocated into the floor plan, I

was also assigned to draw several sections of the entire building and also some small

diagrammatic sections as the mechanical and electrical floors are allocated

underground with different floor to ceiling height and the level difference from the

ground, to ease the understanding of engineers. Furthermore, thanks to this project, I

have also attended my very first CCM meeting with the mechanical and electrical

engineer to discuss and solve problems from the floor plan together with my design

architect and project architect team mates.

After weeks of hard work preparing and designing drawings for this project, finally

it was ready to be submitted for Development Order, which brings me to my next task

which is more fun and less technical, 3D modeling. The first 3D modeling that was an

internal layout of the typical room floors of this building, with the purpose of presenting

to client for their understanding of the spaces and dimensions in each room with some

simple renderings. Then, the 3D modeling task escalated very quickly to model the

entire building with some façade designing and amending in the process of building the

model. Despite it being time consuming, I had great excitement working on the model

as I get to see the floor plans I did becomes a 3D building, just like watching the seed

slowly growing up to a tree.

2.3 LGT Green (Kampung Attap, Kuala Lumpur)

In this project, I was assigned by Chace (Project architect) to assist Ling (Design

Architect) to work on a high rise residential tower built form options and design report

compilation for presentation to the client. This project required me to design a few

building form through some sketching and 3D modeling, as well as working on a design

report compilation through a software that is new to me, Adobe InDesign. It was also a

fun and challenging project as I have quite some freedom in designing the high rise

residential tower, taking into consideration of the views on the site to orientate the

building and also planning the circulation of the site as it is a very congested and busy

area, in the meantime applying some passive design strategies and landscape designs.

Despite the project being at the earliest stages of concept development and

schematic design, I have acquired a new software skills which is using InDesign for

report compilation, and also having the opportunity to visit the site to work on some site

analysis and being aware of the future developments around the site and building by

laws from the local authority.

2.4 Jemuruk Island Resort (Jemuruk Island, Langkawi)

This is yet another interesting project that is newly acquired by the firm, as the

client wants to build several resorts with outstanding architecture and environmentally

sustainable features that are never before seen in Malaysia such as solar powered

resorts, underwater resorts, resorts constructed on the mountain cliff and so on. For this

project, I am required to do some precedent studies on several resorts with these

special architectural features, and also working on some site analysis through research

from the internet as I wasn’t able to visit the site. Through this project, I have yet again

gained more knowledge on passive design and also different technologies on energy

conservations, in addition gaining some knowledge on different resorts architecture,

programs and spatial planning.

2.5 Low Yat Masterplan (Bandar Tasik Puteri Rawang)

Out of the many high rise residential building that I mostly have been working on,

I have also done a few master plan drawings, which is a brand new experience as we

haven’t reach that point of the topic in our architectural studies. The masterplan is

divided into a few sections, then assigned to few other people to work together, which

only leads to final compilation in the end by the project team leader. As for my part, I

was assigned to plan the terrace houses section in the masterplan taking into

consideration of rules and regulations from Garis Panduan Negeri Selangor 2012, as

well as sorting out the entire master plan’s road circulation. After the drawings are done,

I have also taken part in Photoshop of the drawings for presentation. Through this

project, I have understood the basics of master planning and some guide lines from the

Selangor authority in the mean time having some new experience on road circulation

planning.

2.6 Company Profile

This is the first graphic designing work that I am assigned to work for my

company, which is designing and doing page layout for the company profile, with

additional Japanese translation for the information required as the company profile are

to be courier to Japan branch. Japanese translation are provided by Mr Seguchi, the

person in charge over at Japan and input by me in the profile. Through this practice, I

have managed to strengthen my InDesgin software skills as well as getting to know

more about company’s project.

2.7 Miscellaneous

T.R Hamzah and Yeang has been participating in many architectural competitions

and won 70 awards over the 25 years time, therefore submission of these architectural

project works are strict and heavily overlooked by the company. As for this internship

period, I was assigned to handle the write-up of every project entry to the submission for

ArcAsia award 2017, basically just like an architectural journalist. The project write-up

that I did includes the Roof-Roof house, Ganendra Art house, Plaza Vads Annex

Building, SOLARIS, Fo Guang Shan Institutional complex and so on of the well known

and published projects of the firm.

Through this project, I have learnt to use words to encapsulate the intricacies of

the built environment without becoming stuck in a quagmire of esoteric soundbites and

pretentious cliches, in the meantime succinctly write about buildings and their designers

while remaining engaging to those outside the realm of architectural design, which

definitely improves the way I should describe and put my concept ideas into word for

future projects. Other than that, I have yet again learnt many passive design strategies

and energy saving technologies such as Bioswale sustainable drainage system, sun

shading devices, environmentally benign materials and so on from the best example in

the real world as understanding of the entire building is much needed to prepare the

write-ups.

2.8 Conclusion

After completing my industrial training, I had been exposed to an Architect’s

working life, which allows me to understand more about the definition of Architecture

and prepare myself to become a responsible and innovative Architect in the future.

Working in T.R.Hamzah & Yeang Sdn. Bhd have been a great experience for me as I

was given many opportunity and responsibility to work on many varieties of project, and

even handled many work that are far beyond my level of knowledge and skills at my

current stage of studies to be able to learn and experience more to prepare myself

better for the future such as the sustainable architectural design strategies applied on

every projects that I have been involved. Moreover, the internship program indirectly

helps me to learn independently, discipline myself, self-trust, take initiative and ability to

solve problems. Besides, my communication skills is strengthen as i was required to

communicate with new colleagues and engineers to work better as a team. Apart from

that, I had also developed my programming skills such as Indesign for design report

compilation, improving 3D modelling skills through Rhinocerous and 3Dsmax and also

drafting skills from AutoCAD. In conclusion, the projects that I had learnt during the

internship program are useful for me in the future to face challenges in a working

environment and are grateful to be able join a firm that provides a good learning and

working experience.
