LECTURE 1-PRODUCTION MODEL

MODEL OF PRODUCTION CONSISTS OF 6 ELEMENTS :

1) Intention

2) Site

3) Actor

4) Act

5) Rule

6) Product

 
 
From the 1st lecture......

I have learned that...
The built environment is built,produced.Therefore.....
We need a way to look at its production.....


Production must consist of 6 elements.....

1)Intention
2)Site
3)Actor
4)Act
5)Rule
6)Poduct


INTENTION!!!

~Objective,aim...
~Accompanied by knowledge.....
~Knowledge gain either in formal or formal
~Involved listening,seeing & differentiating
~Explicit-implicit
~Constructive & destructive
~Good & bad
~Authority?????

~Source of ism which underlines our intention.....
there is no wright or wrong,,,,(altruism)
everything is wrong,,,,(cynicism)
everything is wright,,,,(relativism)
compulsory to search for the truth,,(truth-seekerism)
dont search for the truth.(taoisme)


SITE


Real
Virtual(head,dream,internet)


ACTOR?????


*Individual,institution,producer,proffessional,creator
*People you can blame.....
*Determine what is wright/wrong from the actor,authority.....
*normally unseen although it may be obvious
*which legitimises what we determine.....


ACT!!!!!

@One who create,draw,build,construct.....
@Involves doing,perceiving,designing,negotiating...
@modelling,constructing,inhabiting,using.....

@demolishing,spoiling,recycling....
@recorded in journals.....
2can be seen any form of documents


RULE!!!!!

The most natural ...
Visible rules are gravity,,,,,
Friction & such like.....

Natural,man-made,climatic
Law,act,enactment,regulation!!!!

A model.....
How begin to lookfor building environment....
must be on earth.....
Quality of product used.....

in form of physical,mental,spiritual.....

LECTURE 2

Fom this lecture...
I learned that there are 7 scales in the built environment...what we do actually will effected our environment.It only caused  by one object,,,as example the use of plastic will caused the dying planet by iatrogenic 
HOW is the DYing plANEt occur???
ACTOR:Eartling,inhabitant of earth,global villager,designer,builder,developer
Intention:Gold &glory
ACT:Design &build
RULE:Economics
SITE:Earth
PRODUCT: Destruction
7 SCALES OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

OBJECT



INTERIOR



BUILDING

PREMISE


URBAN


REGION




GLOBAL

MODEL SCALE

  • Very often the scale model is smaller than the original and used as a guide to make the object in full size.

  • Scale models are built or collected for many reasons.
    a)For engineers who require scale models to test the likely performance of a particular design at an early stage of development without incurring the full expense of a full-sized prototype.
    b)For architects who require architectural models to evaluate and sell the look of a new construction before it is built.
    c)For filmmakers who require scale models of objects or sets that cannot be built in full size.
    d)For salesmen who require scale models to promote new products such as heavy equipment and automobiles and other vehicles.

Iatrogenocide
- The extermination of a population in a systematic fashion through medical error.
-An iatrogenic disorder is a condition caused by medical personnel or procedures or through exposure to the environment of a health care facility, including fears instilled in patients by remarks or questions of examining physicians.
-95% of the people who are doctors, scientists or activists are addressing epidemic iatrogeny in their work.

WHY the EARTH POPULATION  has INCREASED???

  • Limited source of energy &food
  • This earth cannot sustain the increasing poulation
  • Human beings kill each other
  • Family planning is not effective

LECTURE 3


PRODUCT-BASIS OF FORMS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT


From Wikipedia

PRODUCT may MEAN :

A : Business
In marketing, a product is anything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need
-ex: merchandise(in retailing) finished goods(manufacturing).


B : Chemical reactions

A product is a substance that forms as a result of a biological- or chemical reaction. The result of these rearrangements is the formation of new, different substances (products)


C : Mathematics

In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplying, or an expression that identifies factors to be multiplied. The product usually depends on the order of the factors; in other words, matrix multiplication, and the multiplications in those other algebras, are non-commutative.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product




A product may have the following elements :

a) Form & space
b) Nodes & paths
c) Illusion


ATTRIBUTES OF FORM are

-heavy
-light
-colour
-proportion
-scale

-size
-shape
-pattern
-texture
-glow
-shine

-transparency
-translucency

NODES AND PATHS


Nodes can be categorized from the red box while paths is the line that link from one box to the other...It can be shown from our daily life.For example,,,nodes as a building while path as the road that link from one building to the other...In biological,,,paths conduct the impulses that had been generated for the reflection..These will form a space

Illusion
From Wikipedia,


 
An illusion is a distortion of the senses, revealing how the brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. While illusions distort reality, they are generally shared by most people.Illusions may occur with more of the human senses than vision, but visual illusions, optical illusions, are the most well known and understood. The emphasis on visual illusions occurs because vision often dominates the other senses. For example, individuals watching a ventriloquist will perceive the voice is coming from the dummy since they are able to see the dummy mouth the words.Some illusions are based on general assumptions the brain makes during perception. These assumptions are made using organizational principles, like Gestalt, an individual's ability of depth perception and motion perception, and perceptual constancy. Other illusions occur because of biological sensory structures within the human body or conditions outside of the body within one’s physical environment.


Illusion in Hermann's grid

In this grid, we can see dark shadows flickering at the intersections of the white lines. This is a beautiful brightness illusion caused by lateral inhibition in the retina. The response of a visual neuron looking at the intersection is suppressed by the surrounding white regions than that of the other neurons. As a result, the region at the intersection appears darker than the other regions. It may be difficult to see the illusory dark shadow at the intersection in the center of your gaze. This is because in the center of your visual field the spatial area to which visual neurons respond (receptive field) is very small and the spatial area in which lateral inhibition occurs is too small to cause this illusion.



DOMES DAY PROGRESS


At first,we fell anxiety as our site which is in site 36

is quite near from the briefing site ...BUT.....


after the briefing we are surprised when the site

has changed.....We need to carry our 'large dome'

to the unexpected site !!!!!

Extremely FAR AWAY for the briefing site

Pity to them.....

I don't expected that there are still people ....

who had no group until the most CHALLENGING DAY!!!

ASSIGNMENT B
REAL WORLD CONSTRUCTION
PRODUCTION OF A 'GEODESIC DOME'
INTENTION
We are intent to build a 'dome'. We choose 1V model as our 'dome'. Our intention is clearly shown by our motto which is ‘ No Pain No Gain’. If we are not able or willing to face any obstacles such as limited time and others, we will never success to finish and gain our product which is a 'dome'. We intent to build the 'dome' that we can stay in it for about 12 months. 

KNOWLEDGE :
To produce our product, we should have knowledge to build the dome. It is include the way we stand all the materials that had been used to build the dome and also the way to counter any problems that will face the dome such as the heavy wind and others.

MOTTO : NO PAIN NO GAIN
SITE
RULES
In order to build the dome, we should follow the rules that had listed down by our respective lecturer, Encik Wan Burhanuddin bin Wan Abidin. 
Team at least ONE from a different major.
Team Leaders, please submit the particulars of your team in theLifespan: Not more than 12 months.
Links: Not linked to other domes, i.e. independent, standalone.
Team Report:
Each team must submit a report illustrating all the above rules including the lifespan of the proposed dome and what the materials can be recycled into.
Report (210mmX210mm) must be bound with a front and back covers.
The front cover must carry the team name, the members and majors, motto, and a sketch of the proposed dome.
Submission: 10:00am, 10 September, E48A.




ACT : THE PROCESS

Suitable bamboos are chosen...





Tools that are used... hammer,saw,glove,machete




First of all, we cut down the bamboos. Then, we cut the bamboos into pieces due to the size, 2 meter




We had find difficulties cutting the hard bamboos at that time...We need more than one people to cut them























After finish cutting all the bamboos, we choose the suitable bamboos for floor and roof which the heavier bamboos as floor and post while the lighter as the upper frame to ensure that the or 'dome' do not collapse because of the over load on the top.



We started to stand the body of the dome first and followed by the roof.
by jointed up the bamboos by tight it using the ropes.




At last, We covered the dome by plastics.

It is important to us to cover the roof with plastics first before joint it up to the body of the dome because we will face a problem to cover the roof if the roof already on the top as the roof is quite high to us.
