This module is aimed at introducing students to the requirements, activities and operations involved in working in architectural / construction practices. The purpose is to facilitate the involvement of students in professional attachments to architectural practices in order to develop an understanding of the general nature, principles and procedure of law and legislation as applied to architectural drawings, especially the Building by-laws. Students will also be exposed to the process of authority submission for various drawings from an architectural practice and the range of contract documentation produced to support these drawings.Via a full-time internship attachment, students will further appreciate the documentation and report-writing skills required of an employee (architectural assistant / architect) in a typical architect’s firm.

This is a project by Sunsuria City Sdn Bhd consisting of 3 Parcels which are using

a French themed design as their concept. The clubhouse is in Parcel 3 of the project

and one of the main selling features which are provided to cater the residents.



Design Process:

Using the existing 3DS Max model file, I am given the task to modify the facade to

the client’s comment which is to explore a different approach to a French concept.

Original Proposed design:

Front Perspective

Rear perspective



I was to redesign and explore another option using Rhino for the client:

3D model- Front Facade

3D model- Rear Facade



Proposal Submission

3D render- Front Facade

3D render- Rear Facade

Client comment:

However, due to the extra cost needed for this design, the client rejected this design and proposed simpler changes from the original design.



New Proposed Design: AutoCAD (red showing new design)

Model making (red showing new design)



Final Submission 3D render- Front Facade

3D render- Rear Facade

This submission was approved by the client and is the current final design for this project.

development is now 5 acres each and Ar Heng has given me the full responsibility of

coming up with the options of plan after briefing me the authority setbacks and

requirements. In this project, budget and design are the most important aspect as

this is an affordable range product and also requires aesthetically pleasing design

that attracts buyers.

4.0 Conclusion

All in all, I am grateful to have learned and experience the real world out there as

an assistant architect. I have learned how to produce designs in a short amount of

time and also to amend and color submission drawings and learn of UBBL

requirements and authority requirements. Besides that, budget plays a huge role in

designing as an architect in the real world because all developers want to make the

most out of their money to attract buyers. However, the design should not be

compromised to the budget and should stand out as a functional, sculptural, and

most importantly suited for the people.
